Actually, that's a little inaccurate...you can have however many MAX_SHIP_PRIMARY_WEAPONS is defined as, assuming the weapon selection screen is updated.

Nifty.

How does the fire rate adjustment work out?  Is it just halved in group fire mode no matter how many you selected, or does it reduce further depending on the number you have selected?  IE, does selecting 3 primaries to group fire mode give you 1/2 normal refire rate or 1/3?

Also, are you limited to individual active weapons and all at once, or are there subgroups, fire weapon 1&2, fire weapon 2&3, fire weapon 1*3?

These aren't meant as demands or requests, just curious.

Fire rate is still halved (not thirded), and it works the same way as the original FS2 linked weapons worked. It cycles through all of them, and when linked, all of them fire.

I'm thinking of making it thirded, but a per-weapon flag or value to set that up is also possible.

How ungrateful.
How do you link the primaries?

The Seraphims will become stronger now. Or was this dual-primaries-only a rule for the player?

Really outstanding and commendable work ! I can't wait to test them in action. Hope I don't have to wait long.... ("wink, wink")

Great jorb. :):yes:

It should probably be thirded by default, just to stay consistent with the original design.  But option flags are certainly a good idea to customize it.

Tolwyn’s reputation for risk taking with other people’s lives was considered  to understate the facts. The admiral’s willingness to sacrifice anyone or anything to achieve his objectives had long been lauded in the popular press. He was “the man who got things done”.- Colonel Blair

Whoa!!! Have you found a way to have the primaries converge!? That beam screenie looks like it does! I thought primarys are locked in a forward normal.
