game option, weapons strength

posted on July 26th, 2013, 6:28 pm

was wondering if the weapons strength slider bar could be extended. currently it can go to double (2.0) damage.

perhaps it could go up to 10?

Up to 10?!?!? That would be insane. You missing the old A2 battles?

Couldn't the same effect be achieved by also lowering the hull strength (there is a slider for that isn't there? Ship shields/hull strength) ? So, 2x weapon damage, half hull strength would basically be 4x weapon damage.

Also at the risk of being contradicted by the increasingly amazing devs here, I would say that those options are hard coded.

i only see..
"game speed
weapon strength
ship build time
AI build time handicap
AI build cost handicap
global build cost

weapon strength goes up in 0.05 increments, if the decimal point could be moved over one to the right, that would be good tho i dont know if 20x would be over kill even for stations

The current max is perfect I think. Though its really best used with the ai build cost/time sliders all the way left.

Gotta love how the only ships actually firing were the ships in the foreground, I saw none of the background ships firing. They were just looking at the enemy fleet.

Ah my apologies. Been a while since I messed with those settings. You're right. There is no setting for ship durability.
