making armor.

Is it possible to intensify your ships hull, to act like armor? With this, you wouldn't need shields, and it would take a huge amount of hits to destroy the ship.

Post Mon May 26, 2003 5:05 am

Yes it is, but why would you do that when you can just buy a cheap shield and mod the HP on that??? When you get hit and you don't have a shield your ship bounces around a bit, making it hard to dogfight....

because for some reason the shield HP isn't on the Osiris battleship I installed.

ok..But how do I increase the health/strength of the hull?

Post Wed May 28, 2003 8:41 pm

Chris03 you can increase the strength of the hull by opening the goods.ini file, finding the loadout package for the ship you want, and adding a line that reads as follows:

addon = armor_scale_##

There are many premade armor scales listed in the select_equip.ini file. I have been unsuccessfull in making new ones but the ones that are there seem to work good.

Hope this helps...
