Military shields where?

[Dark1]

Where can I buy a military shield enhancement?

I bought one for my Cobra III from somewhere, but since I traded it in for a Josher, I haven't been able to find another one. I slogged half way across the galaxy to find a tech 15 planet, but even they didn't have any. So where are they? Can you fit them to Joshers? Getting a bit fed up of ECM hardened missiles being absolutely guaranteed to wipe me out since the "upgrade!"

I don't recall exactly but I wrote the Josher OXP before I added MSE to the equipment list, so it's most likely that Joshers can't be fitted with them. Check the shipyard.plist entry for them in the relevant OXP to be sure.

Yep, that's the reason.

Cheated a bit now and inserted the missing options.

"C'mon baby! Not so easy much easy meat now, am I? Muhahahahaha..."

I am in the same situation, just saved up for military shields, but can't install them. I don't know the first thing about programing, so it would probably take me days if not weeks to figure out how to modify the game so that my Josher will accept Military Shields. Would it be possible for you to post thelines that I need to add to the config file?

Find file 'newships.oxp' in folder 'AddOns'
Show package content
Open file 'shipyard.plist' in folder 'Config' with text editor
Find line '<key>josher-player</key>' - Below is list of game specs for Josher
Find lines enclosed with '<string>' tags
Add to list:
<string>EQ_SHIELD_BOOSTER</string>
<string>EQ_NAVAL_SHIELD_BOOSTER</string>
Save

Bah, that's cheating!

Would'nt it be more practical to consider ALL ships can have equipment as long they have free cargo ?

In such a case, they don't need to be upgraded each time.

Yes, I know, this would change some things because each equipment would have a cargo value (and perhaps an energy value).

can a python class crusier have shield enhancement? my python could but i traded it for the python class...

[Arexack_Heretic]

Code: Select all

<key>python-cruiser-player</key>
<key>optional_equipment</key>
<array>
<string>EQ_CARGO_BAY</string>
<string>EQ_ECM</string>
<string>EQ_PASSENGER_BERTH</string>
<string>EQ_ESCAPE_POD</string>
<string>EQ_ENERGY_BOMB</string>
<string>EQ_ENERGY_UNIT</string>
<string>EQ_NAVAL_ENERGY_UNIT</string>
<string>EQ_DOCK_COMP</string>
<string>EQ_WEAPON_PULSE_LASER</string>
<string>EQ_WEAPON_BEAM_LASER</string>
<string>EQ_WEAPON_MINING_LASER</string>
<string>EQ_WEAPON_MILITARY_LASER</string>
<string>EQ_FUEL_INJECTION</string>
<string>EQ_SCANNER_SHOW_MISSILE_TARGET</string>
<string>EQ_MULTI_TARGET</string>
<string>EQ_GAL_DRIVE</string>
</array>

So...No. Just look inside the files, my good captain.

Maybe ask Giles about this, could be that he forgot to update the PCC specs with the new shieldbooster-eq...it IS supposed to be a souped-up version of the python right?

[Lord Winslow]

i guess not, but i guess i could fix that.
