Default Re: Big ship supremacy... Can little ships keep up

All those ideas are feasable, unless I'm highly mistaken. Look in the data files - Something like 'abilities.txt'. It's been a while since I've poked around them.

1) Yep, one of the abilities that can be used on ships is a maintanence reduction.

2) Certainly. All data files are text files; you'd just have to change some text files. Can't quite remember the name - 'somethingmounts.txt'.

3) Little ships already have this; you'd just have to increase it. 'vehiclesize.txt', I think.

4a) Yep. Just make it too large to use, then make a mount for the smaller ships by setting the minimum and maximum size of the ship the mount can be used with to the range of smaller ships you want to use it with.

4b) Yep. There's a default setting for number of engines that can be put on a hull.

You could also give them a to-hit bonus.

Hello, and welcome to the forum. Cheese?
