sorry about the long post, hope you enjoy the modules though!

You might wanna check your Enhanced Anti-Fighter Missiles. If the missiles are designed to counter those pesky fighters packing shield generators, you might want to give whe weapon a shield_penetration higher than 0

However, this weapon will make short work of Uni-T drones (because I have set the resistance of all fighter shields to 0)

Woops, I forgot about that. Actually, I think I designed them after having serious difficulty taking out the original Uni-T drones (with shield resistance 10). I then discovered that, with a shield penetration of 10, they made equally good anti-frigate missiles. Since I didn’t want this to happen, I dropped their shield penetration back to 0. Anyway, I’ll raise it to 7.

Tru that. The original Drones were in serious need of a nerf with shields that had a resistance higher than all anti fighter weapons.
Thats why in the subsequent versions of the mod the shield resistance was set to zero :slight_smile:

The Augmented Defenses Mod also uses Fighter Shields that had a resistance to 0, since total immunity to fighter weapons and anti-fighter missiles didn’t make any sense. In the end, I decided that extra regenerating hitpoints was enough of a benefit, and allowed me to keep the power and weight reasonably low.

Normally i would say “great minds think alike”, but i didn’t want to drag you down to my level Cetiah Nova :slight_smile:

Heh. I doubt I deserve a compliment like that darkstar, but I’ll take it. :wink:

So we have:
Fighter speed - prevents a fighter from being hit
Fighter and anti-fighter weapons – counter speed to hit a fighter
Fighter shields (and maybe armor) – help to protect a fighter from fighter and anti-fighter weapons
… can we come up with a weapon that helps (primarly) vs shielded fighters or have we reached the top of our “counter-ladder”?

I’m suddenly reminded of my “there is no anti-shield weapon” argument in the Alternative Damage Model.

Hmm, the way I did it was like this: a fighter’s best defense is its speed, as it can dodge almost every weapon. But, it is often crippled by the first shot that hits. So, I slowed my fighters down to about 1.6 and gave them shields (19 strength, 0 resistance, 2 recharge). At this speed, they can be consistently hit by most anti-fighter weapons but can still dodge just about everything else. The shields have helped my fighters stick around a lot longer. Unfortunately, critical hits from beam lasers and other high-damage weapons will cut through the shields in one shot, kinda defeating the purpose.

Wait, do you guys like my modules? Do you want me to post (and give the proper credit for) my modules inspired by other people’s work?

No one likes my modules? Not even a little bit? :frowning:

(jk, you should try them though, if just to get me to stop asking)

You’ve got some REAL good modules here my friend, some of them remind me of the Union mod I’m working on, specifically the shields with lowered stack effectiveness…great minds DO think alike.

this is proof that, while my mod definately still needs a great deal of work in balancing it’s not beyond broken…some of these modules would give vanilla ships a LOT better chances against my stuff…though don’t get me wrong I"m TRYING to make them comparable to the stock gear of the game.

good stuff my friend…I encourage you to check out the latest post in the “unity vs union” thread to get just a little sneak preview of what my mod will hold in store

Haha, thank you! it’s good to hear :slight_smile: Hmm, I think I’ll post the rest of my modules, as soon as I’ve looked up which people’s mods I got the ideas from.

Yes, I’ve been following the Unity vs. Union mod a long time (since back when it only Uni-T) and I’d definitely say it’s my favorite mod.

Oh! I like your short stories, they really add to the meaning and depth of the game, though I’m quite sure how. I think it’s because they bring the game to a more personal level, one that we can relate to as individuals.

Anyway, I’m really glad you liked my modules :slight_smile:

i loke those modules, but [size=85]( Warning Noob Question Incoming! ) [/size] how i install them??
Detailed instructions please XD

Oh cool! Thanks :slight_smile:

I believe all you have to do is copy and paste the code into new text files. You can put the files in the modules folder for the main game, expansion packs or any mods you have.

Ok, the instructions are step-by-step just for the sake of completeness (I know you’re smart):

At the top of each of the text boxes is the line CODE: SELECT ALL.
Click SELECT ALL, then press ctrl and c.
Now, go to your desktop and open up Notepad. This will automatically bring up a new, blank file.
Click inside the file, then press ctrl and v. Check to make sure all the code copied correctly.
Now, click File, then Save As. If you bought the game directly from Positech, look in C:/Program Files for a folder called gratuitous space battles.
Double click on this folder, then double click on the folder labeled data, and then double click of the folder labeled modules.
Now, type what you would like to name the file in the File name: box and then click save.
If you bought the game through steam the process is the same you’ll just have to do a bit more searching.
Look in C:/Program Files for a folder called Steam, double click on this folder.
Now, double click on the folder labeled steamapps and then double click on the folder labeled common.
You should see a folder labeled gratuitous space battles in there somewhere.
The rest of the steps are the same as above.

Sorry if this seems insulting, I just wanted to make sure that it helped.

nono, everything is fine xD thx for the help. gw!

I updated/edited the original modules I posted, and I added the modules inspired by darkstar’s and Cen2050’s awesome Uni-T vs. Union mod. Hope you guys don’t mind! :slight_smile:
(I’ll take them down if you want me to though.)

Nope, dont mind at all :slight_smile:
I am happy that they gave you a starting point.

So I finally updated the main page to include ALL the extra modules I’ve made, as well as where I’ve gotten the inspiration for each.

Unfortunately, my first post is now absurdly long. I’m thinking about just uploading them in an attached folder.

Does anyone know the max limit for file size on the forum?

Thanks,

Prophet309

256k is the maximum file size . .
Past that you will have to use a file hosting program

how do you do the download if you got it of red marble games? detaled please and thanks.

how do you do the download if it was of red marble games. ive never done a download so a detalied instruction would be loved thanks.
