Norby,

Latest Shield Cycler and Shield Cycler Next now both include the functions needed for SSH.

laser settings description [wiki]LaserCannons[/wiki] and New lasers tweak those settings to create different types of lasers. a few hypothetical examples : set damage to 30k , energy to 256 , shot_temperature to 218 . Put that on a cobra3 and you get a one-shot laser that is capable of destroying a...

I've done more play testing using damage 134 with desired range 18 and haven't noticed any problems. To avoid confusion i've uploaded 1.04 with only that change, https://app.box.com/s/c34vc3dxfmozdpa7yt8i43icf93v35md . I also pm'ed Cmdr Wyvern and asked him to post in this thread whether he wants to...

Injectors and torus Injector and torus speeds are no longer a fixed multiple of normal flight speed. player.ship.injectorsEngaged and player.ship.torusEngaged are recommended to detect enabling of these flight modes. in Config/script.js , line 43 if(player.ship.speed == 7 * player.ship.maxSpeed) //...

I think my external tank can be full or not ) and it has discrete I/O portions. suppose the dft is empty, and i buy 1 refill only and launch. At that point the dft is 1/3 full . I do like the idea of being able to finetune fuel use a bit, and a design with discrete I/O portions does feel like a goo...

version 1.12 released as new stable & development version.

Note :
ATM there's no difference between 1.12 stable and 1.12 development.

My graphics card: HD 5570. Linux Kernel: 3.19.0-25. Mesa 10.1.3. Mint 17.2 x64 Cinnamon. That mesa version was released in may 2014, and latest released mesa version is 10.6.3 . Is there a newer version available for linux mint cinnamon ? Also the window manager used by cinnamon uses compositing an...

Interesting approach, Timer.

Looking at your code, your DFT looks a lot more like 3x 1 LY tanks then a 1x 3 LY fueltank to me.
Was this your intention ?

P.S. your code is well structured, but i suggest you to read https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12149 .

So formula for dealEnergyDamageWithinDesiredRange goes like this : Damage = ( weapon_energy * desired_range ) / ( 6.76 * actual_range * actual_range) The orginal flare has weapon_energy = 1195 , desired_range = 250 . Here are some value pairs ( actual_range, Damage) : 1, 43454 10, 4345.4 18, 134.11 ...

(also posted in RSN thread) I'm currently flying a Fer-de-Lance 3G+(t) and installed Random Hits Shipset to have opponents (pirates, assassins) that can match that ship. Since randomshipnames leaves RH ship names intact to preserve RH mission flavour, this leads to a weird effect : pirates with name...

That clarifies things a lot, thank you Norby . The missiles in [wiki]Armoury_OXP[/wiki] all use max_energy 5 , but the missiles in [wiki]Missiles_and_Bombs[/wiki] use values of 10 and 100 also. New version uploaded (link stayed same) with ENTER = ("sendScriptMessage: dealEnergyDamage 100 250&qu...

Play-testing the 1.03 code i uploaded, made me realise a potential problem : Flare's may do TOO MUCH damage on detonation. In flareAI.plist 1.02 version : DETONATE = { ENTER = ("setDesiredRangeTo: 250.0", dealEnergyDamageWithinDesiredRange, becomeExplosion); EXIT = (); UPDATE = (); }; Wiki...

I dislike missiles being fired at me (don't use them myself at all) and like missile spoof a lot. Lately i got annoyed by the amount of deprecated messages related to missile spoof in Latest.log (dev build) and looked at them. I've updated the deprecated / obsolete parts and added a manifest.plist ....

for those wondering how the odds are calcualted : check feudal-challenge.js .

this.defineChallengerDetails & this.defineChallengerOdds are the key.

The higher maxSpeed , maxEnergy, thrust & missileCapacity for player are, the lower your odds will be.
