Ohh and its set to only have one squadron and id like to add some but im not sure how to do that either

ok so set the forwars weapons to like 20 and the side weapons to 21?

Assuming the forward weapon's rate of fire is slower, yes.  Also it's for ALL weapons in the bank, so for instance, let's say that the Kol's forward beams & lasers have raw damage of 80 and 20 respectively, (note- beams are weird, given the duration thing, which I'm not 100% certain on how it adds up e.g. does the cooldown begin after the whole duration, is the raw damage over that duration or per second of beam focus etc. but whatever) with a respective cool-down rate of 5 seconds and 2 seconds, respectively.  This gives a DPS of 80/5=16 for the beams and a 20/2=10 for the lasers, for a cumulative forward DPS of 26.

As an extreme example the side autocannons could be 5000 raw damage but 500 sec cooldown for 10 DPS and then the Kol still isn't turning around, even though that 5000 raw damage is more or less one-shotting most ships, or at least one ship every 500 seconds.

Also IIRC some weapons have multiple fire arcs, for instance the Kortul's beams (I think) can fire forwards as well as to the sides, so they would count for both firing arc's respective totals.

Still cant make a ship have more fighter squadrons though what do i change?

Ohh i thought that had to do with upgrade points (Like you can start a capital ship at level 3 or something)

Scaling for that is pretty strait forward

.6+.2+.2 =1 more command point so at that example, at lvl 3 this ship will gain one more command squadron

though after level 3 it will take 5 more levels, so the next squadron will be level 8, so this ship ends with a total command value of 2.2 (goes up 9 to hit level 10) [.6+ 9(.2) =2.2 ]

What i do:

change the start value to 0.030000 make scaling the main point of this, and for something like a Kol(since I saw it mentioned before) I put scaling at 0.33 making, at level 10 the Kol will have 3 squadrons

or you could do this for a carrier and make the star scale at 1.0 and per level 1.0, give it 10 squadrons at lvl 10, this however is kind of broken and results in a ginormous tidal wave of strikecraft, the likes of which your computer will cry about....

anyway....algebra..... V+9(x)=S

math is starting  value 3

per level (6-3)/9 = 3/9 = .333

harpo

thanks

PreBuffCooldownTime is the rate of fire IIRC.  Damage/Cooldown=DPS.

I could be wrong though; haven't looked at entity files in a while.
