Just a note, you don't have to use SODs for unitorpedo - sprites work just fine

To clarify: the codes cannot be used to specify damage to a specific system, only disabling chance. Damage is still allocated via the ship specific percentages.

EDIT: and it seems I forgot to mention you can specify the time of disablement too. Aka, disableenginestime = 10

To note on-top of that, you can not use a pulse sprite on a unitorpedo class.  Only circular sprites work.  I would assume that in a SW mod he would be using pulses, not torpedoes most of the time.

FO normally uses SOD's for pulses, so modders could probably survive without sprites. FO Torpedo SODs are practically pulses, anyway.

Test report!

Resaults or pasting the craft subsystem % lines to a standard pulse cannon has a noticalbe effect in stock. It is not a perfect system but if a ship  is tough enough the other subsystems can be destroyed before lifesuport and the hull are destroyed

I

can show you ways to use the impact effects

  What exactly are these impact effects?

If you start up a game of FO you'll notice that there are explosions that go off when beams hit shields or hull, and same with pulses and torpedoes

Here are some reference shots:

Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations - Impact!

The commands can all be found at the top of ordnance files (unitorpedo and phaser), and from memory (  ) I believe they are shieldhitimpact or something of that sort:)
