Question concerning trunk

[Screet]

Hi,

when I tried to look wether my modified values for some definitions are still in place after an svn up, I stumbled over something which looks strange to me:

#define PLAYER_PLASMA_RANGE (MAIN_PLASMA_DURATION * PLAYER_PLASMA_RANGE)

and the same thing for NPCs.

Should that not be PLAYER_PLASMA_SPEED being used?

If PLAYER_PLASMA_RANGE would be a variable that is initialized, OK (then it would be PLAYER_PLASMA_RANGE *= MAIN_PLASMA_DURATION), but it's a definition without prior value...

I think you are right. But a project search showed that PLAYER_PLASMA_RANGE or NPC_PLASMA_RANGE is nowhere used in the code yet. Not a real problem then.

Speed (m/s) * Duration (s) = Range (m)

Is there a plan to make plasma ranges scriptable or ship-dependent?

I think that carriers loosening plasma volleys that reached 15kms would look pretty impressive in space battles ...

I dont think there is a plan to do that. I guess its possible, but I havent heard anyone mention it.

I hereby declare my bold and decisive plan not to do that.
