* K-B10 (and variants, including B11): the SFC UI does not have enough phaser hardpoints, nor are there the appropriate arcs available even if there were sufficient hardpoints. Therefore, I have followed Taldren's example in assigning the phaser type placement and arcs. Instead of 7 Ph1s, 8 Ph2s, and 6 Ph3s, the B10 has 9 Ph1s, 6 Ph2s, and 6 Ph3s. I've adjusted the phaser arcs on the B11K, but they are still inaccurate due to the restrictions of hardpoints and arc availability.

Try using the standard KDN UI instead of the KBB. It works beautifully, and has more mountpoints.

Thanks, I'll try it.

Still, the general problem remains on an odd ship here and there. It could even be worse after the patch than before if there are new arcs available.

Like I said, the SFC3 system shows UI edits can be done if handled right. It's too bad we don't have that level of adaptability here, or even just more hardpoints across the board just in case they are needed.

It may be futile to ask, yet I wish, I wish, oh I wish that the weapons tight setting on the fleet control panel would prevent the AI from launching fighters.

I wish.

.... and if you listen very carefully you can hear the faint cries of a frustrated Hydran player. Sometimes they will come out into the open and you can see them trying to herd their fighters towards the enemy. And rarely, very rarely, you will see a full wing execute a perfect attack, all firing their fusions and hellbores at the target at the optimum range and returning to re-arm. Truly spectacular stuff, now over here we have a ......

Let me clarify: there are plenty of hardpoints. The trouble is, they are invisible unless included on the UIs. I suppose those UIs are untouchable, and will remain safely locked away where nobody can improve upon them or modify them. It's fairly bad form to use UIs from different ships than your model, simply because the UI is often the first clue a player has about what they might be facing.

Oh well.

Firesoul, any good news on the patch? This is the most interesting thread on the board right now!!!

FireSoul · « **Reply #287 on:** June 15, 2003, 07:52:44 pm »

.. well, the best good news I could give without ruining any surprise is that work hasn't stopped. I've actually foregone most playing that I would usually do to do testing instead. One could say that I have to play to test, but it DOES get very boring when there are specific things to test, over and over..

.. but yes, work continues. It's not stalled.

Cool, thanks for the update and the hard work. I am really looking forward to seeing the patch!

Oh, did I mention the Doomsday Device? Hehe!

Bump'a de bump!

BUMP

This should really be at the TOP of this forum.

Is it too late to sign a non-disclosure agreement and be a playtester?

Qapla!

You'd have to send a note to someone in the company for that.

They did just add a couple of well known people from the community though so it may be possible.

Just made this thread stickey so we don't have to keep doing the bump-bump.

Based upon what I've heard and seen, I'm getting very excited about the coming OP patch....

No, that is NOT a cucumber in my pocket...
