An experienced pilot will use his superior judgement to avoid any situation that would force him to apply his superior flying skills.
(taken from aviation but I think it's applicable here as well)

That said, I am trying to avoid encounters if I can. Which also means I would hardly get to see a paint job on the other ship...

The role frequencies you have assigned are very low meaning that these fine paint jobs will be extremely rare and hardly ever seen.
On the flip side, I've also created 27-36 instances of these ships, so while there might be a low chance of spawning a single example, collectively the chances are a bit higher.

Can I get you to try something for me? Can you plonk this code into a worldScript somewhere, then monitor what you see in your log during a normal play session:

Code: Select all

this.shipSpawned = function (ship) {
    if (ship.dataKey.indexOf("phkb_") >= 0) {
        log(this.name, "phkb ship spawned: " + ship.dataKey + " - role: " + ship.primaryRole);
    } else {
        switch (ship.shipClassName) {
            case "Krait": 
                log(this.name, "normal krait spawned: " + ship.dataKey + " - role: " + ship.primaryRole);
                break;
            case "Moray Star Boat":
                log(this.name, "normal moray spawned: " + ship.dataKey + " - role: " + ship.primaryRole);
                break;
            case "Moray Medical Boat":
                log(this.name, "normal krait spawned: " + ship.dataKey + " - role: " + ship.primaryRole);
                break;
            case "Cobra Mark I":
                log(this.name, "normal cobra mk1 spawned: " + ship.dataKey + " - role: " + ship.primaryRole);
                break;
            case "Mamba":
                log(this.name, "normal mamba spawned: " + ship.dataKey + " - role: " + ship.primaryRole);
                break;
            case "Mamba Escort":
                log(this.name, "normal mamba escort spawned: " + ship.dataKey + " - role: " + ship.primaryRole);
                break;
            case "Gecko":
                log(this.name, "normal gecko spawned: " + ship.dataKey + " - role: " + ship.primaryRole);
                break;
            case "Boa":
                log(this.name, "normal boa spawned: " + ship.dataKey + " - role: " + ship.primaryRole);
                break;
            case "Boa Class Cruiser":
                log(this.name, "normal boa mk2 spawned: " + ship.dataKey + " - role: " + ship.primaryRole);
                break;
            case "Anaconda":
                log(this.name, "normal anaconda spawned: " + ship.dataKey + " - role: " + ship.primaryRole);
                break;
        }
    }
}
That should give some indication of how infrequent (or not) the spawn rates are.

I presume there was no way to add decals?
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Not with my (non-existant) shader skills. If I had any, I probably would have found a way to reduce the size of the packs by having the shader doing the colouring, rather than including megabytes worth of textures!

Ran the tests as you requested. Yes, tests as in plural. Ran one test with my Tweaked role frequencies and a second one with your original role frequencies. Neither test was very long, about 30 minutes for my settings versus 20 minutes for the original settings. In neither test did any of the Factory paintjobs come into visual range. During prior game sessions they have popped up visually in a few Pirate Groups with my Tweaked settings.

The results are as follows.
With my settings 45 Factory paintjob ships were spawned versus 46 normal ships. (first code block)
With your original settings 7 Factory paintjob ships were spawned versus 43 normal ships. (second code block)

This is what was expected given the numbers involved. It may be better for others to run this test as well given that all of my OXZ/OXP ship role frequencies have been Tweaked upwards to some extent. It may not be needed though given that if the ratios remain consistent between all of the numbers involved then the results would still be consistent in relation to one another. Given these results it probably just comes down to another case of a Crazy Code Tweaker looking for justification.

Thanks for running the tests. The untweaked version is what I was hoping to see - a few cases being spawned per system, without making it every ship.

But hey, there's no reason why you can't tweak the numbers up if you like the look of the ships. That's the beauty of tweaking! Make it how you like it.

Your designs certainly look good. After reading Nite Owl test results, I was thinking to render some textures to ships in service for a short time and give them a higher spawn possibility. Technically only a specular map would be needed to give some scars but not as much as Griff's textures have.
Scars remind us where we've been. They don't have to dictate where we're going.

If it ends up with only one number to be tweaked (specular map), maybe this could be matched with the maintenance status of the ship?
That would allow players to directly see how run-down a ship is. And proper maintenance would keep it shiny....

I don't believe you! Somewhere civilised such as Digebiti, yes, of course. We Digebitians take pride in keeping up appearances. But those slimy dastards in the corporates such as Onrira or Zaonce...

I followed a MkI in earlier. The urge to scrape its shiny new paintjob with my grubby old MkIII was almost irresistible!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Just trying to make sense of this shipset business. I presume that what you have produced are a set of ships which may evolve into an additional shipset, no?

Your talents, Phkb, are quite all-encompassing, it seems!

Well, I don’t imagine it will be a ship set like Griffs, as I’m not planning on doing paint jobs for everything. It’s more a variety pack.

Sadly not! I can’t model ships, or create unique textures. I can use paint.net, though, and draw lines and fill regions with colours. Mostly what you’re seeing here is Griffs work. My contribution is relatively minor.
