Upgraded stations dont show their additional weapons in the tool tips.

posted on May 21st, 2009, 7:23 pm

That's because they don't get any extra weapons. >:( The thing is broken...

Anyway...

Officer-Ranked Remores don't have tooltips.

hm the Remore works fine for me. Do you have any further information about the situation where the tooltip is broken?

The additional weapons will be added to the starbase tooltips

I think Megaman meant that the officer-rank Remores don't get special ability listings on them: it's the same as basic Remores (at least that's the way it is for mine)

No, I mean the entire tooltip isn't there. Then again, I did have a glitch with the installer.


And Tachyon is still mispelled!

Speaking of the Remore in 3.0.6...

A Promoted Remore says it has "Increased Right of Fire" shouldn't this be "Increased Rate of Fire"?

Actually RCIX, you have a few mistakes there:

Should be: Attacks by the Rhienn have 50% chance to disable the weapons of a targeted station
-----That's not correct:  Attacks by the Rhienn have a 50% chance to disable the weapons of a targeted station. The original was correct

  Research Vector Torpedo:  “Launches a torpedo that will bounce to additional 2 targets”
   Should be: “Launches a torpedo that will bounce to 2 additional targets after the first.”
-----I believe the vector torpedo only hits two targets, so it should be "Launches a torpedo that will bounce to an additional target after the first"

 Should be: “Enables the BLANK refit for the BLANK Class”
-----That is incorrect: Should be, Allows the BLANK Class to upgrade to its BLANK refit

  Research Radiation Array: “Damage is splitted through all valid targets”
   Should be: “Damage is divided amongst all valid targets”

----slightly odd English: should be Damage is split through all valid targets (you should not say divided amongst; it could be divided between though)

Should be: “The will immediately attempt to capture it”
----They will immediately attempt to capture it


Basic Generix System Upgrade: “Allows the Generix Class – Support Refit to use its level 2 ability”
----this phrasing is actually fine as it is. Yours is somewhat awkward on the other hand…

Saying reeling is also find (think of to reel )

A very good effort though, thanks RCIX

If I am not confusing something here HawkShark (not RCIX) is right. I can remember such a light green rather teardrop formed torpedo bounce from a frighter to a mining station and then back (because nothing else was around) so this are three hits all together.

How about Launches a torpedo that will impact up to 3 targets?

enables blank refit for blank class is also fine as is. These are tooltips not detailed descriptions.
in notes and tips certain concessions are made for the sake of brevity.

   Should be: “Damage is divided amongst all valid targets”

----slightly odd English: should be Damage is split through all valid targets (you should not say divided amongst; it could be divided between though)

Damage is split is more AE. Divided between or "equally distributed" (which would be better still) is more akin to BE.

Also are you referrring to RCIx's post or Hawkshark's?

Not to turn this into a debate but : (Also i am not RCIX )

•   Rhienn Class:
o   Infiltrator: “Attacks of the Rhienn have a 50% chance to disable the weapons of a target station”
   Should be: Attacks by the Rhienn have 50% chance to disable the weapons of a targeted station

You're half right and i am too. It should be: "Attacks by the Rhienn have a 50% chance to disable the weapons of a targeted station"


o   Research Rei’karansu Covert-Ops Team: “The will immediately try to board it”
   Should be: “The will immediately attempt to capture it”
----They will immediately attempt to capture it
Yep, i typoed oops.

On the Vector torpedo, yea im pretty sure it hits 3 targets total.. the problem with
"How about Launches a torpedo that will impact up to 3 targets?" is that it is non-specific as to how... Does it split into 3 and hit them at once? Does it just fire 3 torps?

On the refits issue, its just a personal preference in the Active vs Passive voice issue, pick a side, doesn't matter.

ON:  Research Radiation Array: “Damage is splitted through all valid targets”
   Should be: “Damage is divided amongst all valid targets”
----slightly odd English: should be Damage is split through all valid targets (you should not say divided amongst; it could be divided between though)

I like that idea serpicus: "Damage is evenly distributed amongst all valid targets"



o   Advanced Generix System Upgrade: “Allows the Generix Class – Support Refit to use its level 3 ability”
   Should be: “Allows the Support Refit of the Generix Class to use its level 3 ability”
----this phrasing is actually fine as it is. Yours is somewhat awkward on the other hand…
w/e thats purely an opinion matter...


Reeling (to reel) doesn't make the slightest bit of sense to me in reference to energy pathing.


I think i'll do the Dominion next, as soon as i can set aside a few hours to just build everything and get everything to veteran.

uh, i didnt post that... A bit confused are we dominus? i havent had much time to check tooltips...

Really sorry about that folks (and especially RCIX and HawkShark), seems I've been a bit messed up today with reading too quickly (or adding in the incorrect words... lol at mild dyslexia) 

Well, my orignal post just decided to alert me to the fact a virus was trying to invade my computer... and thus crashed IE... sooo...

Here was the jist of it: you can look up all the values in the Dynamic String document in FO: if you wish to use it, here it is (with most substitutions for strange figures included). This should make your task somewhat easier.

In relation to some of the typos, if they are opinions then why did you post corrections?    (not to mean offense of course)

"Reeling (to reel) doesn't make the slightest bit of sense to me in reference to energy pathing." : here
I was thinking along the lines of casette style reeling--in the sense that the energy (or tape) is being reused efficiently. Not as in "sent reeling"  I guess it could be that the Devs meant routing hehe 

In regards to "Enables the BLANK refit ", how pray tell do you "enable a refit" Serpicus?
