Cheating

Post by Alex »

To my mind there is no such thing in Oolite.
Change your ship to what you want tis not cheating.
I fly a Caddy OMG,
Put 3 auto turretts on the tail
reduced the pitch rate, was a bit too twitchy
Increased top speed, and still get out run :roll:
And even now still see "Press Space" too often.
So not actually cheating.

Have you tricked your ride?
LOOK OUT!!!

Yes - an extra energy bank!

I made the ship I built for me a little bit (several 10,000 Cr. :lol:) cheaper than it should have been compared to the other ships on sale. But I had honestly earned all the equipment I stuffed into it.

My second sin is, that I made some equipment indestructible because I don't like the random and very simple way Oolite handles the damage. But I'm not very pleased with this myself, so at the moment it is more tinkering than cheating.

Almost the opposite. :D
I've tried to make sure that all the ships I can buy are no better than the ones the NPCs have. I've made small changes to many ships but any changes should affect the Ooniverse, not just me.
So for example:
The player CobraIII has a max speed of 300 just like the NPCs.
The Adder has a 5TC cargo hold as per NPCs, I have also given it a slightly improved recharge rate which the NPCs get as well.
The Krait now has a witchdrive but only 5TC cargo hold.
I also don't believe having uber ships is good for the game balance, so don't have them installed.

What's the story with that, actually? I noticed it elsewhere, but just thought I'd typed something in wrong. Why does the core NPC Cobra3 have a top speed of just 300? Does anyone know the history?

I've always assumed it's so the player doesn't regularly become permanently masslocked by a ship they can't overhaul.

As I have I, and it might be useful to reduce frustration for a first time player (although there's still plenty of other things that can do that :mrgreen: ), however it just feels wrong to me. The great thing about Oolite is that I can (fairly) easily do something about it in my game.

Had a quick glance... uses shipdata overrides... All NPC cobras get 350 as maxspeed, recharge rates of 4 and maxenegergy 256.
So yeah, it should work.

Better that it should drop the player Cobra down to NPC stats?

Why would you make it harder?
If you don't see "Press Space" often enough to say "DOH" or the such that I will not type.
You are in an Uber ship. Which is still not cheating.
Cheating was the 'Tab' bomb, remember that?
Destroyed everything on radar but didn't touch you.
