[Request] Disabling laser tower is under attack notifications

[Probe1]

I'm sick of Betty telling me a ship in PTNI headquarters is under attack. It's a stack of laser towers intercepting pirates coming out of an XRM Pirate sector. I know they're getting shot at. That's what is supposed to happen.

I would be more upset if they weren't being shot at.

But it's driving me up a wall. I can either turn Betty off entirely and rely on subtitles to notify me when something is attacked in a sector other than PTNI headquarters or I can suffer every 10 minutes.

Is there a way to disable the audio notification of ship under attack ONLY for laser towers?

LT's are ships. Its either on or off for all ships as far as I know.

Personally I gave up on LT's and use drones instead via SSDN. Allocate enough drones and they kill their targets so fast, the system doesnt get time to tell you they are being attacked more than once.

Could you.. say, reclassify them as satellites?

[apricotslice]

A satelite is still a ship and gets the same warnings.

If you change them from a ship, they will stop firing.

Hi, Probe1, Apricotslice

I agree with Apricotslice, forget LT's and OWP , use drones.

I use DCS which can make every carrier you choose into a powerfull Drone Carrier.
fi:I put 1 m2 Valhalla Drone Carrier + 1 to protect it in Omnicron... War sector ! ---> they survived for days now (IS-OOS no matter), fantastic !
Fly there with whatever ship and start fighting - you will see what I mean, when things go really bad they come by the hundreds m1,m2,m7,m6,...

In a friendly sector you take a cheap carrier as DCS, much better than LT's because they spawn somewhere in the sector, not at the gates.

Carrier needs weapons only for self defense, with small groups of enemies he will not even get close. I always put in a combat ship to protect it, just in case.

You will loose some from time to time if they spawn on top of your DCS , but that's okay , shit happens !

Don't worry, be happy ! leko
