OP+ shiplist 2.0 (20030413 release) is now live.
« on: April 13, 2003, 06:12:59 pm »
I'd like to announce the release of the next shiplist in the OP+ series... only THIS time, it's version 2.0.

URLs:
download package:  http://klingon.stasis.ca/OP_plusrefit/op_plusrefit_shiplist-20030413.zip
homepage link:  http://klingon.stasis.ca/OP_plusrefit/


This time, with over 1350 additional ship entries (bringing the total up to 3724 entries), the focus wasn't even to add ships. This was a massive check, recheck, re-recheck, and so on. These fixes are D2-oriented mostly. There should be very little difference for standard online multiplayer games.

Changes, briefly listed:
- Fixes
- Corrections
- Year of availability tweaking
- Dronerack reload refits
- Some sanity checks on data I previously mis-entered
- commando ship availability limited
- survey ships availability improved




I know it's only been 2 weeks for you all, but this shiplist is pretty much what I've been working on between diaper changes, burpings, or whatever else babies do. Considering Mom does most of the work (feeding), I still had enough time on my hands to do a lot on the shiplist.


Enjoy,
-- Luc

Thank You Firesoul!

Still wish you'd consider adding Tholians and Andromedans to this though.

Awesome job, thank you!

Qa Pla!

Question: is the ftrlist.txt the same as the 2.5.3.8 default, or has it been changed? I noticed today's date on the file.

I know..
..but having some parts not working right spoils all of it for me.

So Andros and Tholians are outside the scope of this project.

The ftrlist.txt is not the same as default 2538.

The stock ftrlist.txt (2538) contains 175 lines of text.
The OP+ ftrlist.txt (OP+ 2.0) contains 248 lines.  The difference lies in fighters available to pirates. Look inside.

Heh, it looks like the same ftrlist.txt version from the last one -- all is good (just had to look closer).

I may have changed *1* line. In case it's different, replace it..

Firesoul, this is great! Thank you very much

I love the NCDR!

BTW, what is the difference between the CAD+ and the CAD+R? I can't see anything in the shipyard and the shiplist format is hard to read.

Thanks!

Just guessing, I'd say the CAD+R has more drone reloads than a CAD+.

Simple. In 2275, all drone carrying ships get an upgrade. Sometimes the upgrade is subtle and ..well.. adds 0 BPV to the cost of the ship.
In this case, the CAD+ has racks with 1 reload of drones for free. The CAD+R gets 2 free reloads. For a player, there's no difference. But for a generated AI, it might make things more interesting.

Feedback:

Z-HDWG is labeled as, and is loaded as, an escort heavy war destroyer, but the "G" suffix leads one to believe it is a commando war destroyer. I didn't see an HDWE or a commando version.

*looks*
.. yes, that's indeed an error.
Using that ship as the escort should be ok tho. It's just the name-tag that's wrong.. and a commando ship that's missing.

Considering I went through the entire inventory of empire ships checking and changing ship classes to suit my needs, one little error is pretty darn good! One other thing I saw that puzzled me was the "I" tag in special role on some ISC ships.

Also, the bulk of Romulan hawk-class cruisers are labeled as HEAVY_BATTLECRUISER, but they should mostly be HEAVY_CRUISER. Their bloated BPV that puts them up in the BCH range of 180-200 is often due to the cloak, which probably doesn't deserve the BPV boost it gives. This is up for debate, though, and changeable by D2 admins, so I don't see a big issue with it.

I noticed you've been classing the cargo pod variants of the tugs and transports as FREIGHTER. Is this by design to try to get them to show up as convoy members in raids/escorts? Since they are tagged as "R" for restricted, they may not show up anyway, but I was just curious. A group of them in a convoy mission sure would be a change of pace.
