    Further discussion about development has been moved to

    due to excessive moderation here. Anonymous posting is allowed but
    discouraged. Also, hellcatv will be checking that forum more often, which
    should allow us to do some stuff which is only possible by modifying the

    No change in the data file... get the update instead :)

    Asteroids can be minable correctly -- blow up a 'roid, blow up the asteroid chunks, and tractor in the ore.
    Fleet battle AI works better (For kicks, try the "battle royale" mission)
    Jump points animate correctly
    Phase shields work correctly
    Torpedos work correctly
    System files outside of Gemini fixed (thank thehawk for this, i'm a lazy ass... ^^; )
    AI ships launch torpedos and capship missiles when they should
    Strakha cloaks when it should (I think I got it at any rate...)

    The Tiger's Claw is a Bengal class carrier so it's called bengal in the units.csv and so on.

    Battle Royale: try battle_royale.bat in your WCU directory :)

    Phase shields and torpedos: I tried to mix WC2 and WC3 in a decent way, so here's the thing --

    Phase shields are mounted on capships bigger than a Paradigm, both human and Kilrathi. They are as strong as the next lowest level of shields, but they recharge much much faster. In order to defeat them you may:

    (1) Have an unholy amount of fighters hammer the phase shield equipped ship -- right now only ships equipped with stormfire, neutron, ion and plasma guns will even try to do this, but that will be changed in the next release. The rationale is that phase shields may be "all that" but a sufficient amount of brute force overloads them.

    (2) Use WC2 style torpedos, which aren't buyable yet because I don't know what plot should unlock them.

    (3) Use an antimatter gun, rocket salvo, or phase transit cannon -- you have to be on a capship to even get a shot at firing these.

    (4) Use leech missiles or leech guns to turn off the capship's generators, then hammer with all you've got before they turn back on.

    No new ships yet (extended PR set, for now). I want to make at least one border worlds fighter available on the open market though (ideally the Banshee, that thing was cool to fly!)

    Well, it's been two days. I guess this answers the question about what happens when a crummy, non-functional mod posts yet another self aggrandizing publish in the woods when no one's around.

    Stop posting for Spiritplumber. He's banned for a reason.
