Re: Shipyards..

[dw333]

Since there are only 26 slots available for space or ground units that you can select to build, and i doubt there is a scroll bar if you exceed it (and coding one in is probably not going to happen), i have found an acceptable workaround, that makes the game more realistic to starwars. now you can have 26 units to purchase per 'shipyard'. with this you can now build 78 space units.

 

I have added shipyards, 3 to be exact:

 

Light Shipyard - builds starfighters and shuttles

Medium Shipyard - builds corvettes, frigates, light cruisers, and medium cruisers

Heavy Shipyard - builds heavy cruisers, and star destroyer/star cruiser/super class ships

 

allowing stations to be accurate for defense not building, like it should be.

 

remodel:

Level 1 - Platform 1 (XW/TF series)

Level 2 - Platform 2 (XW/TF series)

Level 3 - Galon 1

Level 4 - Galon 2

Level 5 - Galon 3

 

I have tested a version of it on fighters (test units) and it works!

 

You can also only have one shipyard per system, and shipyards are very expensive, so choose carefully, and dont let the enemy destroy them, with hit and fade attacks.

 

Ground units already have this, but i plan to only allow 1 (maybe 2) types ground build structure(s) per planet. to allow for all the new units

Are you going to give us a mod with it? Or like a line of codes?

[dw333]

mod the whole thing, there are already so many changes done (to all parts of the game), i am waiting for the full version so i can confirm all the data, before release code from the demo version. Since i cant replace models aswell.

 

I might release a small mod for the demo, but there is so much code change, and confimations done and to do, that it is best to make it, confirm code fronm full version, then release for full version, if code is same or very close it wont take nearly as long.

[Guest JediIgor]

This is a good idea. Space stations should definitely not be building ships . Though you should be able to build more than one shipyard per planet (maybe level 2, level 3.., means 2, 3 shipyards?)

[Stellar_Magic]

We only get 2 slots for space structures beside the Station which means you should be able to build 2 Shipyards...

 

Am I right?

[dw333]

You could do multiple stations, but there are ONLY 26 slots to build units for space (and 26 for ground), this number cannot be changed without a scrool bar code addition, this is probably a major thing.

 

So this way each shipyard can have up to 26 units assigned.

 

example

a Rebel Light Shipyard can build up to 26 starfighter and shuttle types:

Rough List

X-Wing

Y-Wing

A-Wing

B-Wing

E-Wing

T-Wing

K-Wing

Z-95

A-9

Lambda - Shuttle

Skipray BlastBoat

YT-1300 Freighter

YT-2000 Freighter

Delta - Escort Shuttle

? - Assault Transport

? - Escort Transport

 

16 of 26 available slots, can have 10 more units at this shipyard/planet.

 

Since you can only have 26 slots you cannot have more then one shipyard per planet, otherwise you would exceed this 26 and one shipyard would overlap anothers units...

[Stellar_Magic]

This is why a Corporation based system would make so much sense...  ;D

 

Incom Space Factory:

 

Incom/Subpro ARC-170

Incom/Subpro Z-95 Headhunter (And its spaceborne variants)

Incom T-65 X-wing (And its variants)

Incom Y-4 Raptor Transport

Incom I-7 Howlrunner

[MajorPayne]

Most useful, but I bet my bottom dollar that some smart alec will figure out a way to enable further space based structures in time (unless they hardcode that sort of thing).

[Teradyn_pff]

I have seen some references to the command bar GUI in some of the files.  There may be a way to extend them somehow.  If nothing else, I wonder if you could have a custom menu pop up when you click on a build button.  Kind of like making a build button = "Heavy Corvettes" and then choose what you want from there...

[NOT Hadoken13]

or making specific ships only buildable on certain planets/regions

[dw333]

^--- Just like Noghri Squads are only available at Honoghr, who ever controls it can have them as a buildable infantry squad.  Could add the story to this in game, hmm...just like finding the katana fleet, but anyway, just an update to 'Civil War' Mod
