WCP as in Privateer? I will keep tuning the values to see if there is a good middle ground. Will keep you updated.

Thanks Quarto, that's interesting. I haven't seen a gun capacitor size setting in Armedit, but I'm pretty sure the field I marked "power regen rate" is what governs the recharge rate for guns. Will try and test it. I have confirmed that changing the Y/P/R values does make a difference...

I have to disagree. I've been running a Radeon HD 6850 for the past four years, and I've never experienced this issue or had any trouble getting games to work properly. I'm even playing Star Citizen on it, albeit on low settings. AMD gets a lot of bad rap in these situations, and most of...

Apart from that, it's a fine ship. I've always thought of it as a big Arrow. It's fast, handles well, has excellent shields, and a very good gun loadout. It's just the missiles that could use work.

We have the opportunity to set the record straight, as it were. I'd like to set everything the way the manual describes it, and then see how the game plays. One thing that definitely needs to change is the missile loadout. Just look at that Gladius. Come on, people! Eight Dumbfires?! On a...

Interesting point regarding the guns, especially: A few weapons that are mentioned in the manual and also present in the data, are never actually fitted to any ships. Note the plasma gun, matter disrupter, and ionic pulse cannon. I'd love to see if they work in game.

Right, quick update for anyone who may be interested in the ship, missile, and gun stats. Here they are, exactly as ARMEDIT extracted them from the DATA.TRE file. Now on to some tweaking!

Pity this doesn't work in co-op.

Maybe. I normally fly most engagements at less than top speed anyway. As I posted in my ARMEDIT thread, the really interesting bit is that the Y/P/R values for all ships are set to 2. First thing I'm going to try is to modify these and see what happens.

Well, now that I've managed to get ARMEDIT running, you can rebalance the ships and weapons as you please. I know of a few tweaks I'd dearly love to make. https://www.wcnews.com/chatzone/threads/armedit-in-64bit-windows.27825/

The GOG release makes it super easy to get things going. You literally just pick whether you want to play as client or server, enter the server IP address, and off you go. From there you can play regular Armada or Proving Grounds. The trickiest part may be getting a network correction up...

O yes, I fully intend to tweak those numbers. If they do affect the handling, I could effectively come up with an entirely new flight model by modifying top speeds as well.

Indeed! I've already discovered a few very interesting things. The stats for the guns, for example, are identical to what you find quoted in the Voices of War manual. The ship stats for shields, armour etc are also very comparable. However, the Yaw/Pitch/Roll settings are identical across the...

Will have to see how to do this better. What we've found is that it is extremely tricky to both target the same ship; the risk of collision increases tremendously, and this is nearly always fatal. Hence, we split up and each has his own little joust.

I've experienced this as well; there are a few dogfights in later missions where you simply cannot take an enemy ship in anything like a straight fight. Their accuracy is unerring and they simply chew you apart before you can land a shot. In co-op, my brother and I take turns keeping them busy...

Sorted! It was much simpler than I thought. Following the instructions in the readme file did not do the trick for me, so I fiddled about a bit. Here's how it works: 1) Backup Data.tre in case something goes wrong. 2) Unzip the files to the Armada root folder. 3) Using DOSBox, navigate to the...

Indeed! I can wait until you've finished your cake.

I hate fighting Shok'Lars... they pack one hell of a punch.

Ahhhh, I understand now. Will give it a shot.

Save an unmodified file? What do you mean by this? I read about the issues with the last weapon, but from what I can tell the crash occurs when you try to delete it. Will see if this makes a difference though.
