Yeah, it does. Fighters use missiles fairly well. The only ships which don't use them well are ships which are designed to lob out loads (ie M7M and M8 ). They still use them, but they will only throw them out at the same rate as normal fighters.Deadbeat_Spinn wrote:Out of curiousity does the AI ever use missiles (regardless of ship)?
Perhaps for XFF II, assuming XFF I goes well but that's up to the leaders.EmperorJon wrote:I was going to do it if people wanted.
Not only that, I could even get a quick way of changing the missile probability, which would make M8s good.
If you want to bet on a fleet who's gonna stop you?Deadbeat_Spinn wrote:Can we have bets on whose going to win a given match (when the matchup between two fleets are announced) or the overall winner?
When a given fleet wins, do only the survivors move on to the next round or does the whole fleet get to go?
Does ammo/missiles get restocked or remain at the number when the last round ended?
And my last question (of the moment), Technojerk36.....where's your fleet?
You say threshers but they are a bit naff if the battle is takin place in sector, they run out of energy to quickly. This just means im gna have to utilise fighters a bit better.Tenlar Scarflame wrote: Now here's what I want to see - an all-Boron fleet. We don't usually hear much love for the fish-faces' designs, and if I were a Boron I wouldn't stand for it.
That, and a couple of Threshers on anti-capital duty could be quite terrifying, if done right...
I don't think anyone else has started work on a script. Thanks for helping us out. Also, why don't you throw in a fleet of your own?cyberfuzzie wrote:Hi all,
if I did read everything correctly, you still have nobody to write the script? If I have the time (and as next week are still holidays, this should be no real problem) I could write it.
If however someone else started to work, I now just post my ideas on how to make this rather simple:
The only real problem I have so far been able to think of is the race logic, as it may take some time to spawn all ships, and so one fleet may be ahead of the other.
Here my solution: In section Fly Commands is a command, which should be easy to use: <RefObj> set race logic control enabled to <Var/Number>
Every ship is created, belonging to either argon or xenon, and then race logic is disabled. The ships should then just wait.
After all ships are created, race logic is enabled again, which should then be possible to be done in short time.
There even isn't the need to save the ships in an array, as we can get an list of all ships in a sector(Universe and Sector Commands / <RetVar> = <RefObj> get ship array from sector/ship/station).
Feel free to use this, if you already started to work, but please leave a comment, I think it's not necessary to have two scripts.

Since it's going to be set up in a tournament kind of way, there must be an even number of fleets so that one person doesn't get a free pass to the next round. If we end up with an odd number of participants, I'll quickly put a fleet together so that we have an even number.Deadbeat_Spinn wrote:And my last question (of the moment), Technojerk36.....where's your fleet?
With a 8 hour difference, it might be hard to get all the matches done. But I'm sure we can work something out.Tenlar Scarflame wrote:TJ, I would certainly enjoy doing commentary, but I'm in GMT-4...
Maybe if I were visiting my parents in Abu Dhabi...
Anyway, I'm not very sure how reliable I'd be, but I'd still enjoy it.

I've updated the fleet list but you might want to add that to your original post as to avoid confusion.GCU Grey Area wrote:Been wondering about that myself & finally decided that the Yaki fleet should be referred to as The ReaversTechnojerk36 wrote:Also, if you haven't already, don't forget to name your fleet
Also been considering changing the Reaver fleet a bit, losing the Hoshi (it's just a bit too expensive, can't afford to arm it properly & fill it with good fighters), replacing it with Chokaros to carry the fighters & some M6s.
If there are no objections would ideally prefer to use Pirate Centaurs & Ospreys. They're a bit undershielded, but the paint job more than makes up for that. Planning to cost the fleet out as if they're the standard versions (which I'll use instead if anyone dislikes the idea of me fielding pirate ships).
From looking at the PHQ production costs the price of pirate M6s would, if they were sold anywhere, be either the same price or slightly cheaper than the standard versions: i.e. Pirate Osprey requires exactly the same resources & production cost is the same as the Teladi Osprey; Pirate Centaur requires slightly fewer resources & production cost is about 10k cheaper than the Argon Centaur.

- but I wonder what to do when both Pickers pick the same number
