Dude, the linked site is SO going in my Favorites folder ... JUST what the doctor ordered! And I think a link to teh finished product should definitely go into the must-visit SEIV sites folder. Permanently!

Many many thanks!

Great work IF! Makes me take a step back to look at my attempts to snipe back at particular Anti-American UK turd and remember what this forum is supposed to be for. Good job!

Anything I can do to get this place out of the control of kats, is fine by me.

This is outstanding!

I seem to recall a conversation on IRC trying to steer you towards a certain educational pursuit. Dude, from what I have seen, do whatever the hell you want. You will be successful!

Good job.

I'm glad I thought of it

Might I suggest that you link some bits around in your tutorial?

eg: The "Vehicle Type :=" bit in the Components chapter, could refer to the Vehicle type in the Vehicles chapter.

Quote:

This determines what a weapon can target. This is what makes a Point Defense Cannon a Point Defense Cannon, because of it's targets. You could design a weapon with the "Point-Defense" Weapon Type, but give it Ships for targeting, and it will act like the normal Point Defense Cannon, except that it will automatically fire at ships.

Has that been changed? IIRC, ships were not triggering the point defense code, only units...
