Title: Shield recharge rates
Post by: Wanderer on February 25, 2007, 04:05:14 pm

Would it be possible to get adjustable shield recharge rate? Quite like subsys and armor repair rates currently are. As now only way that i know how to control shield recharging is to set the 'power output' to zero as that seems to disable all repair functions.

Bob made a build that specifies hte power output (makes hte Power Outpur line in ships.tbl actually do something) :D

But you'll have to wait for 3.7.0. for that methinks

Well i was thinking something in line with current $Hull Repair Rate: and $Subsystem Repair Rate:

He made a build where you just add a _ (turning Power Output: into Power_Output: ) and then the number behind will be take into account (currently tehy al lhave a default value).

that build didn't work for me, but I hope in 3.7.0. everything will work...

It's just been implemented!

$Shield Regeneration Rate and $Weapon Regeneration Rate (http://ml.warpcore.org/pipermail/fs2source-dev/2007-February/001894.html) :yes:

Sure the note says 'for WCS' but everyone can use these new table values.  Thanks Goober and MikeStar :)

This means you can make wierd things.. ships with a weak reactor having insane weapon re-charge rates...

Shouldn't this be just tied with reactor output?

why would you want to do that? I, for one, would like to have full control over power output.

Then don't do that.

If we took out every feature in the game which can be stupidly abused we wouldn't have any left. :p
