Title: subobject hitpoints thingy?
Post by: TrashMan on June 24, 2005, 06:18:48 pm

Is anyone working on it or does anyne have any plans?

You know, the subsystems beng determined by the % of the ships hull and MUST add to 100%...which sucks..
I cna't have a ship will well armoured subsystems & turrets unless I have a few subsystems and turrets or redicolous ammount of HP (and I don't want hte ship to have too much hp)

Before this devolves into the customary flame war try giving it a ridiculous number of hitpoints and then use special hitpoints in FRED to reduce that to a normal amount.

I've never had to use the feature so I've got no idea whether it calculates subsystem strength based on the table value or the special value.

I don't think it makes any difference if a ship's hull adds up to more than 100% or not, FRED2 just complains sometimes.

Goob said he wanted to look into it, I think, it's an ask-after-3.6.7 item

I do belive FS2 will chrash if subsystem totla exceeds 100%
(I dunno, I was told)

If this is true then it is impossibel to make a ship who's subsystems are heavily armored, but his hull isnt.

I was under that impression, but I may have been mistaken.  I'll have to check.
