the falcon has a problem with its shield not actually going down when it runs out of energy and goes down. it continues to take hits making the ship have unlimited hps.
the thing that causes this seems to be actually the shield model bubble and has to do with the shield_link line in shiparch.ini
this is the line falcon is using and there seems to be something with all the cv fighter shields. so far I have only tested cv_fighter5_shield01 and cv_fighter_shield01 (falcon and starblazer)
I had this problem with a starblazer when I was still playing single player. I didn't report it because I thought it might have to do with that. but now I am on multiplayer and have the same problem with the falcon. when I changed cv_fighter_shield01 to l_fighter_shield01 and added a link to HpEngine01 making
the ship worked fine. I did this just like the civilian shuttle that is made by jinx and it worked.
the HpEngine01 link seems to improve collision detection from the sides and rear as opposed to when you have a line without it. collision detection when from the front seems most reliable. without adjustment, a few scattered hits will connect from the front on these bugged civilian ships
I also tested this with other shields and certain shields that are known to work didn't work when used with different combinations of ships and it didn't make consistent sense. I made a post about in the general forum. dunno if this is just for npcs not for players but I wouldn't think so.
so I recently started exploring Coronado. I must say you're all doing a wonderful job.
so I recently started exploring Koeln. I must say you're all doing an amazing job.
some time ago I explored Rousillon. Impressive. Particularly the music on the planet that was a nice surprise.
so I recently started exploring Omega-55. LOL... NOMADS. LOTS AND LOTS OF NOMADS. SHOOTING THINGS. I GOT THE HELL OUT OF THERE. (and I was thinking, jeez I can't remember what that one was from the news. I hope I don't run into a nomad system)
recently started exploring Omega-41. what did you guys do to the star? that new effect there, that's impressive.
