Is there a way to stop your subsystems from regenerating?
-
Have them at 0%?

Sabotage subsys sexps with a repeat counter...
But would need a terminating sexp if you call for rearm.

Well, depending on what overall effect you're trying to achieve, you can also set the ship's power output at 0.0. Of course if you do that then NOTHING will regenerate (weapon capaciter, shields, or afterburner).

Id like to see a mini escape pod, that has shields and afterburners, maybe a subach cannon, but has no generator. It just has a battery, once the battery runs dry, ur screwed (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif). I like that idea better than the Hermes Econoline van or whatever current escape pods for the "command crew"

That more or less describes the entire MOD I'm working on. All of the weapons are modeled as secondary weapons (which means you have very limited amounts of ammunition). Well, mostly modelled on secondary weapons. I had to have "bot" versions of all the guns as primary varients because I haven't been able to figure out how to trick the AI into using the secondary ones. If anyone knows some way to have a ship's 'laser battery' get recharged whenever it docks with a supply ship I'd be eternally grateful (it would simplify a lot of what I'm trying to do with this thing.)

To have the AI fire secondaries as primaries ( quick burst). make a swarmer version of the gun, unguided. Even with a limited swarm, the ai won't stop firing. Strange, but that workes with me so it's wirth trying it, no? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

[lol] Actually, I guess calling it a MOD is a little inaccurate. It's probably more of a conversion as it is not set within the Freespace universe (I'm just 'borrowing' Volition's game engine to do my own thing with). The basic setting depicts a China/United States cold war that's beginning to turn hostile. All of the action takes place within the Sol system (no warping around). If I do this right it should 'play' very differently than Freespace does.

Thanks Venom for the tip on the cannons. Thhat should help solve most of my resupply woes. Of course FRED and Multiplayer mode will still kick out errors left and right. I'll probably make some kind of "blank-gun" to fool the error checker with.
