Max Overclock Acceleration
On behalf of the Star Wars Conversion, I would like to request a new ships.tbl line

For our gameplay mechanics, we require that, when extra power is moved to the engines, that the acceleration rate as well as the maximum speed of the ship increases.

to keep continuity with the current notation.  I would like to request a new field labelled

Code: [Select]
$Max Oclk Accel:       

Thanks for your time.




edit: we will also eventually need capship bubble shields, but i figure, one thing at a time right?

Re: Max Overclock Acceleration
would this mean that acceleration scales with engine power?
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Right now, when you divert more power to the engines only the top speed is changed, acceleration isn't.
What they need is a scaled acceleration and a max value assigned to it in the table.
