*NEW* Lights and Ship Speed
Hi all,
In my efforts to make my Anubis the nicest looking one there is, I wanted to change the ugly slow blinking yellow orbs they call running lights to something more cool.
If you go into light_equip.ini you can create your own lights or edit others, blah blah it's easy you'll figure it out. The hard part is - now how do I alter which lights are on a ship. The answer - goods.ini. That's right - anything you specifiy as an "addon" in goods.ini is automatically brought over with the ship at time of purchase. So the bad news is that I had to re-purchase a new Anubis to get the new lights I stuck on it. The good news is that we can set up ship to come with the weapons and equipment of our choice at purchase time.
Item #2 - Speed...
Everyone is in search of the elusive cruse speed modifier... those who can't find it but wanna go faster have increased their thruster output... but of course that's a pain while in combat... you NEED your thrusters.
Calm yourself, Child - for I have the answer...
... Reverse.
That's right - nobody uses it, there's no reason for it. Until now. Go to the engine of your choice and change the Reverse_Fraction from 0.nnnnn (whatever it is now it's small) to -100. That's right, Negative One Hundred.
Now, when you hit "Reverse" you go forwards at 990, and you can keep your thruster for combat use
Enjoy!
