Topic: Has anyone experimented with the new weapon arcs? (Read 1587 times)

When I set the weapon arcs of ship weapons to the new arcs, they don't show up in the tactical display or vessel libraries. I changed the TacDisplayRes=6 to 50, and I know it has a max of 75. What gives? Anyone else have any experience with this?

I thought most ost the new arcs were only for starbases.

you must be talking game balance or something because there is nothing to stop someone from putting them in ships technically.( I much prefer the old firing arcs from the earlier series SFC games, myself). All that needs be done is type the new arc values into an existing weapon arc slot. If a game is saved or a different version is in the default load out or the arc values are entered incorrectly it might cause the arc not to show up on ship library and tactical displays but other than that It works. improper arc values can cause a weapon to be nonfunctional in game play as well. The library and display issue can probably be avoided by deleting any saved games or custom variant models that existed prior to the edit.
