Thought about multiple cruise speeds...

I just had this thaught;

If there are different types of lazer colors and shapes, couldn't you make different types of cruises as well, eventually leading to multiplke cruise speeds? Just a thaught...

Alchander;
Would this be possableor not?

Laser colours and shapes are in no way related to cruise speed. You can have different coloured cruise engines no problem, but there is currently no way to have variable cruise speeds. Perhaps with some EXE hacking this could be possible, but I'm pretty sure the ships all draw the value for cruise speed from the same location.

in your engines stats change this:

cruise_power_usage = 0
to something greater like this:
cruise_power_usage = 500

increase the power use until you begin losing power in cruise,when you run out of power the cruise engine will continue running but your average speed will be lower(and much less steady:/ well there's always a tradeoff)

I knew about what you are sayin Cold, but what I am saying is how the weapons have the "weapon effect", well, is there some way to add a line to the engines like "Cruise Type = " then for like cruise type one have speed = 600 and cruise type 2 = 300 and so on.

NEWSFLASH! =)

I know this has been wanted for a long time so I started looking into it. I have been able to get engines to have independent cruise speeds! Look for a patch some time tonight!

whats the patches name?

I was just wondering (I know I already posted this under Some Patches), but is there a way to make some engines incapable of cruise, like they won't even begin to start charging?

This might be possible, but at this point is not implemented in any patch (such as the cruise patch). However, you can set the cruise speed to 0 for the engine and they won't move, or set it to the same speed as the the maximum speed of the engine and it won't be any different - but it will still try to charge and activate cruise at this point.

I'll reply in your Some Patches Forum.
