Energy Management And Weapons Calibration

Post by Spaceman Spiff »

I got a question about the energy management. In the remake i can run with my centurion (shield L3, reactor L3, 4 tachs) with full shields and afterburner and giving sustained fire from 2 tachs for unlimited time. But in wcu, a level3 rector doesn't even give enough energy to run with the afterburner for a long time if the level 3 shields are 100%. Is this on purpose? Why?

Other thing: At the moment I'm flying a centurion with 2 tachs and 2 stormfire guns. Usually I use only the stormfires in battle because they don't use energy and... :oops: they are so damn cool :D ...when the stormfire is empty i use the tachs... I'd like to mount 4 stormfire but it doesn't make much sence 'cause I can only select all four together. Is there a way to select every single gunspot, let's say spot 1+2 or 3+4 or 1+4 or whatever... ? This way, I would be able to fire 10.000 shots instead of 5.000...

No... I was working on that, but then stopped.
I'll get back on that as soon as I finish the higher priority stuff.

I fixed it already--- it had to do with the ECM system somehow screwing up the energy management code


sell your ECM and things return to non-buggy sate
