Me and DCPCT - Defiant Class Project Construction Team are pround to present a new weapon :

I have tested the effectiveness of ESG Lance. Just then had an idea to convert it into Defiant's Pulse Phasers. Although they have limited range (6.99 clicks in SFC:OP). They are extreemly powerful - resembling their real DS9 strength. Just imagine I've blown up a Maquis raider with one volley just like in DS9 series

Download and enjoy...

WOW!

Good call.

One question tho, that's the "7" and "3" that the SC is carrying?

jimkirk · « **Reply #2 on:** June 12, 2004, 02:38:12 pm »

That "7" and "3" is the result of using PhoF - PhotonFighter instead of Phot - standard photon torpedoes in shiplist.txt instead of frtlist.txt. I placed the PhoF on Maquis Raider to reflect Micro Photon Torpedo Launcher which originally was carried by such vessels in DS9 series. PhoF has a smaller range (sth about 4 or 5) in SFC:EAW and SFC:OP. This screen is from SFC:OP ofcourse

Very Intriguing!

Gotta give this a look-see..

That's interesting. I tried putting DisF on a ship before, to get a weapon that fires twice per turn for the Seltorians, but it didn't work. Would you mind showing us exactly how you've listed it, please? Does it take power to arm and do you have an overall limit on the # of times that it can be fired like on a ftr?

Thanks

Sorry I wasn't here a while. The formula is like for the standard weapons: (number of slots in the arc) weapon name (in this case PhoF or DisF) and an arc type (FA, Ra etc.)

Examples:

1 DisF FA
4 PhoF FA

Is that clear to you?? If not tell me so and I will give you my shiplist.txt file

hmmmm, defiants blue phasers? defiant has the Yellow/orange phasers not ble. her Qumtom torps are blue

Sapharite · « **Reply #8 on:** July 22, 2004, 05:59:53 am »

Yes yes I'm aware of that but this weapon can be used for other purposes - not only pulse phasers

;)Interesting note on the fighter/ship weapons. Gives me ideas for X-ship mods. Having played Lyran so much, it's nice to see that someone has use for the ESG Lance. It's a step backwards for Lyran X-ships, but the instillation on that Defiant looks devastating!

Thakns man

Sapharite · « **Reply #11 on:** August 09, 2004, 07:37:43 am »

I'll re-relese this in newer version with more color variations. Newer version will get rid of bug on older graphic adapters which may occur by lagging the screen just befor firing those weapons...

Tulwar · « **Reply #12 on:** August 09, 2004, 10:04:18 pm »

Looking at that screan-shot, I see a lot of thinking "outside the box." I'm beating my head against the wall just to balance the X-tech fleets.

Thank you so much for figuring out how to put pulse phasers in the game. The combination of your weapons texture and the sound change seamlessly integrate this weapon in the game. Now I can finally feel right about flying around my defiant class in OP.

GREAT JOB!!!

Do the fighter weapons recharge? this is one that wanted to know. using the "micro" photons would be neat but do they recharge

Sapharite · « **Reply #15 on:** October 12, 2004, 10:17:33 am »

There is no UI prepared for that. I will try to figure out how to do this. But if not I'll have to wait till the release of SFC Source Code. I hope soon
