Also note that the ccx2 is a fourth X2 heavy cruiser, all other races have three. Can't say removing it makes a 'gap' in the mirak shiplist.

exactly. The true CCX is present to counter the the other X1s.

.. ok. I'll be rude. I had a bad day today: my father died.
If you lose with the Z-CCX2 (Taldren's) .. you REALLY SUCK.

Edit: I tested myself against it. I died miserably. Twice. 2 separate tests vs another player. There reallty aren't many ships that can take it on. Seriously! The Mirak X2 are GOOD SHIPS. They have less power, but a crapload of droneracks to take up the room.

FireSoul, Sorry to hear about your dad. It's one of those very unfortunate facts of life that most of us have to go through. You seem like a strong individual. Hang in there. My condolences to you and your family.

Rod said what I was thinking.

My condolences, Firesoul.

Firesoul, I am very sorry to hear about your irreplaceable loss.

Hello Firesoul
My deepest condolences on your loss. I know that you will get though this keep the faith and know that you have friends
that you can draw support from.

Hello FireSoul, I hope you are doing OK today. I've been messing around with one of my shiplists and listed all the Lyran and Mirak as special and re-did the WYN and LDR class types so they are used in the campaigns instead. It's an interesting switch. Thought you might like to try it yourself, if you haven't already.

FireSoul · « **Reply #488 on:** June 15, 2003, 01:02:46 pm »

The WYN and LDR are interesting ships, but are a bit OTT. They're special cases, you see.. and SPECIAL suits them fine for GSA use and such. I'll leave it up to the administrator of the server to decide if he wants them in his campaign or not.

Sten · « **Reply #489 on:** June 15, 2003, 01:15:22 pm »

Firesoul,

Question for you. In your latest SFB conversion of the shiplist have you given the PFs The power a SFB PF has?

The last shiplist of yours I downloaded all the PF were still shorted in the power department.

May not seem like much but the PFs have enough problems.

For instance the Romulan Starhawk A.
8 Total Warp--->Should be 12

The Lyran PFs are shorted by 1-2 points of power each.

The Gorn PFs are simular to the Lyran PFs short by 1-2 points of power.

FireSoul · « **Reply #490 on:** June 15, 2003, 01:25:44 pm »

You're not the first to mention that, I noticed. Ok. sure. I can check all PFs and make sure they have the right ammount of power, including WBP power, but know that the BPV will also be raised.

Strafer · « **Reply #492 on:** June 15, 2003, 02:35:04 pm »

IIRC the Plasma PFs have had a limiter placed on them for how many torps to fire at once in a past EAW build.
At least an attempt to do so was made... Mags? Care to comment?

FireSoul · « **Reply #493 on:** June 15, 2003, 03:13:46 pm »

why doesn't someone do a skirmish, do "backspace" onto a PF to take it over, and test it?

Holocat · « **Reply #494 on:** June 17, 2003, 02:47:53 am »

Dosen't OP still have that Plas-I 'bug' where every Plas-I hardpoint may fire one torpedo at a big target per turn if available?

If so, can't the problem of '2-plas-F-per-turn' SFB rule put into effect by having 2 Plas-I hardpoints, one with 2 weapons, and the other with 3? Theoretically, it *should* fire only and up to 2 plas-F per turn if available.

Of course, the obvious peculiarities of this setup would make the PF fire up to five at other PFs and fighters.

I bet the AI would make this problem worse by using main if there aren't fighters/PFs present; Anyone else see a shotgun hole in this plan?

Would switching the default setting of Main to Defence for Plas-I (how this would be done, I have no clue) help this fix?

Hypothetically working,

Holocat.

MadElf · « **Reply #495 on:** June 17, 2003, 04:09:06 am »

Yeah, the default setting of the I plasma would have to be changed, since PF spawn armed, and they'd just never get anything but the one torp in each bank loaded. But yeah, using I torps in that setup sounds great to me, good idea holocat, just need to change the default setting fo I torps (who uses I torps on main anyway?)

The_Infiltrator · « **Reply #496 on:** June 17, 2003, 07:12:06 am »

There's no limit to the number of plasmas that can be fired, at least in EAW (and therefore, I assume, OP). I've seen a human player chase me at speed 31 cloaked with a PF and then fire all 5 into my rear shield.

What does happen is that the number of plasmas that come out charged is dependent on how the weapons are arranged on hardpoints. If you put all 5 plasmas on their own hardpoints, they come out all charged at once and are able to be fired. Mounting multiple weapons on the same hardpoint results in having to charge some of them, adding a restriction of a kind at least.

It might be nice to get how it's supposed to be; otherwise, believe me a speed 31 cloaked ship can be hard to stop.

FireSoul · « **Reply #498 on:** June 17, 2003, 11:20:11 am »

Since no one else did this, I flew the CENL myself. I could only fire 2 PLaFs at the enemy at a time, with a delay of 8 impulses between each. That is satisfactory.

So maybe the issue is the lack of power within PFs that has been reported.

Attention ALL.

If you can think of better Orion weapon loadouts that are SFB-legal and 100% local empire based, I want to know about it! Please check in my 2.1c shiplist to make sure I don't already have it.
