The Imperator's size is on purpose, there's supposed to be enough room between the hardpoints to move ships through.



Only the first, the manual that's in the zip details that a bit but I didn't copypasta that part.

imbaczek: That's just visual, can you imagine the trouble I had with LSOS where the mirrors had to be aligned precisely across the map?

Also there are two bugs I know of so far, Imperator hardpoints ghost and the ghosts move with the Imperator and if you hit stop on a hardpoint that's not building anything you get a Lua error.

BTW, doesn't the new option for losing when you lose your planets make the 'income without a planet perk' a bit redundant?

It's a fixed income, it doesn't disappear if you have planets. Also, who knows, maybe that bit of extra income is what you need to capture another planet .

Strange, I was looking at a replay of me vs. auswaschbar, (to see how much the perk helped him utterly crush me ), and it seemed like his income was only equal to his planetary income once he had a planet capped.

It's not much income so it's easy to miss (currently 40 every 2 seconds) and it's not terribly useful either IMO. I guess it's a noob trap...

It'd be good if it also given some (50%? 25%? 1/nplayers?) to every ally.

Love your mod,

but dear god the super destroyer-esque ship is way too big


Also, I'd consider making the imperator more expensive and the turrets perhaps less so. It seemed odd that I built a ship half the size of the map, but the turrets take so much longer to build. I love the idea, I just think it needs to be way scaled down, perhaps half the size, with half the turrets.

I agree with the FREAKING HUGE sentiment. Half the size would be better, possibly even a third.

Also, you could make damage to the Imperator knock down the build progress for turrets, to counter building in combat.

I am now sitting with 11k and +100 income in a game where i am dead, because i lost my last planet, but my ally still had planets.

Make a team-planet-ends mode.

Imperator is pretty silly.

Bugs too:

[ 34765] LuaRules::RunCallIn: error = 2, AllowCommand, [string "LuaRules/Gadgets/imperator.locals.lua"]:123: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

I'd rather see some 'Cruiser' level ships than Imperator.

Had a crash on a 3v3 on Cosmos

Flozi: upload a replay to mantis 1091 please.

The Imperator is that large because it's meant to be the size of a battlefield with battles being fought on its deck and turret placement being an important choice so you don't put the control tower into harm's way or have no defenses that can work when the enemy gets close.

units the size of imperator need special love from the engine:
- improved heading table resolution
- ability to disable swivel during turning

also, it's pretty irritating that you have to select the bridge to make it move somewhere, but i guess that could be scripted somehow...

That sounds less like something to add a mode for and more like a bug.

You need to see the LAAT gunship in IW shoot at something, at least a while back, bobbing up and down... Disabling would be nice, but the real issue is that rolling and pitching do not take turnrate into account at all. 2/3 dimensions ignore it...

Lurker: Sak was referring to a team dying when it has no units left.

Yeah, that one gets irritating.

Maybe you could write a widget to disable the ota resource bar (and the new lua resource bar)

Done.



Hoi... have you even played this mod?

Yes, and I see a resource bar which is of no use.
