[SuperVegeta]

SuperVegeta Turret Commands


====================================================
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>German Thread<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
====================================================




The 4 Commands from EGO Soft are the basis for every Ship.
This from Me written 4 Commands for cannon pulpit (Turrets),
is a help now to that you to be able to coordinate the weapon fire can better,
into larger battle fight, where are swarming hostile GKS and Fighters in disorder move.
You can with this commands install a graduated depth defense,
in which one installs large weapons in some pulpits and them the instruction gives only on large ships to fire and
in which other installs small weapons in some pulpits and them the instruction gives only on small ships to fire.
You can give also the instruction to pulpits: Attack only on bridge targets, thus this pulpit is firing only to targets that is marked by player ship.
There is also an instruction that the pulpit instructs on quasi each Target to fire, that is marked from the player ship, whether it now friend or enemy is, is with this all the same.

[Thraxwhirl]

Interesting script, Vegeta, and I can certainly see the merits of the "Attack Big Ships" and "Attack Fighters" options....

...But may I make a suggestion?

In these commands' priorities, would it not be a good idea to allow them to shoot at "all other types" as a final priority?

Ie. if a Titan has its turrets set to "Attack Fighters", but the ONLY ship in weapons range is a Split Python, presumably it will at present ignore it, and fail to return fire whilst the Python ravages it, no?

Wouldn't it be a good idea if, having ascertained that there are no fighters in range, the turrets could fire at whatever else IS in range? The PRIORITY would be fighters, sure, but in their absence, the turrets could fire at the Python.

And then, obviously, you'd do the same for the "Attack Big Ships" command - ie. a Titan running that command would still shoot at fighters in the absence of any big ships.

You see otherwise you will end up having to check all your ships' turrets constantly, and you'll have to keep adjusting their commands, depending on what types of ship are actually present and in range of each ships' weapons(unless I've misunderstood how these commands work), and that would be a nightmare if you're using a large fleet. I reckon you'd never be able to keep track of all your ships and all their turret commands, and you'd probably end up with a lot of them getting killed because they failed to fire at ships attacking them.... simply because they were the wrong kind of ship.

And in short, once you had too many ships to keep track of all their turrets, you'd be better off using "Protect Ship" or "Attack All Enemies" so as to ensure they never got into a situation where they COULDN'T fire.

Or so it seems to me.

Unless of course I've misunderstood, and these scripts DO already have a final priority... but it's not mentioned in the list of priorities for "Attack Big Ships" or "Attack Fighters", which leads me to assume that if, faced with the "wrong" type of ship, the turrets would do nothing.

Forgive me if I've missed something though.

[SuperVegeta]

i dont know whether i have the description of this correctly translate,
but you see that correctly
a ship that have the CMD Attack only BigShips can fire only of Bigships and ignore all other ships in range

and with Attack Fighters+++(all that is not a BigShip) its the same,
this ignore Bigships M6 M7 M1 M2 TL

but I needed this CMDs at that time not for work at OOS, only IS
with 1 or 2 Titans
i want that my Battleship not fire with G-PIK on M5 Fighters, with this leasers are impossile to hit them


I can build that, that the Turrets fire on other classes if not the mainclass in firingrange

[ChemODun]

I can build that, that the Turrets fire on other classes if not the mainclass in firingrange

Sorry, but I use this command becouse turret fire ONLY on MAIN CALSSES (its differrent command - it's great). If I put in turret GPPC and then it try fire on small ship ? - I don't need this.
Please, don't change algoritm for these commands, if it may fire only fot specific classes - then it MUST.

Sorry for bad English

[SuperVegeta]

if i did that thann so as the Missille detection in "Attack Fighters"
than can this fire on other targets Classes while not the MainClass is in firingrange

if than a MainClass Ship in firingrange than it brake the fire of the noneMainClass Ship and it fire of the MainClass Ship

[jlehtone]

Unless of course I've misunderstood, and these scripts DO already have a final priority... but it's not mentioned in the list of priorities for "Attack Big Ships" or "Attack Fighters", which leads me to assume that if, faced with the "wrong" type of ship, the turrets would do nothing.

But does this not depend on when the target selection is done?

If you select target only when turret has no target, then GPPC (=GPIK) turret will be chasing its "fallback" M5 target forever. That is what the stock scripts do.

If you reselect target frequently, that may interrupt firing on current target. What if that GPPC turret swaps between two BigShip targets every second? It will be spending most of the time traversing. However, operations like missile defence require this approach. X2 AEGIS did, but I guess it stored the current ship target, swapped in anti-missile gun, shot missile, restored heavy weapons and then continued on that ship target.

GPPC against M5 is waste of energy. Weak weapon against BigShip maybe less, but how often do those get into range?


But I see that SuperVegeta has already idea on how to do this.

[SuperVegeta]

this addon is only good for "Attack Fighters"; that this CMD fire on BigShips too, if not a SmallShip or Missile in range

the CMD "Attack BigShips" must not have this:
only turrets with Heavy Guns PIK + B-EPW + ..... have this CMD
and this cannot hit a Ship smaller as M6


also in the next Version can "Attack Fighters" fire on BigShips if not and While not a SmallShip in range

OK...
