Hey i have 2 installs for fleet ops.

one in the normal fleet ops, the other is one i fiddle around with, and mod.

im a texturer and have been adding new textures and the like to some ships.


But i was wondering... could someone please explain how to change the attack, defence and system value of a ship.

And i downloaded the century and have made it larger using the scaleSOD in the odf. How do i change its shield value, its attack and defence.

all for my own personal use, just curiouse

could someone help me?

well you can change the acutal numbers or the imaginary reference numbers. I am assuming you mean the second type, and those numbers are in dynamic localized strings.h file. open it in your notepad and the reference values are encoded in a system of symbols that represent numbers.

Well i suppose i should post my (incomplete) guide for the DLS info for those out there that cant read those symbols. Also, what formulas do you use to derive the actual underlying values out of the values you see in tooltips?
Numbers:
1=£
2=¤
3=¥
4=¦
5=§
6=¨
7=©
8=ª
9=«
0=¢
Other Symbols:
Special Energy Lighting Bolt (yellowish-gold)= ()Its in there it just wont display
Bullet:Å (needs to be preceded by 4 spaces i think) (regular bullet, not red or green or anything i think)
Indent:Æ (needs to be preceded by 4 spaces i think)
grey "(passive)" text: Ÿ

This is what the symbols represent.
