Re: [Audyssey] Miner STFC News.
Hi Chris, Yes, I does make things sound better having differing sounds. The full release of STFC 1.0 also will have the new bridge sounds. It won't be long before I put 1.0 out, and I can move on to working on STFC 2.0. Which I am kind of working on both branches at the same time.

Re: [Audyssey] Miner STFC News.
Hi David, I am sure I can. However, in general torpedoes on Star Trek are fired in groups of 5. Of course, they can fire a specific amount as well. See my prier post, but in 2.x you will only be able to fire up to a maximum of 30 torpedoes in any case. I don't see any problem making a dialog allowing you to fire everything from 1 to 30 torpedoes. david wrote: > What about specifying the exact amount of torpedoes.

Hi Raul, I had you in mind when I began working on the new dynamic menu UI. In fact I learned something by applying your suggestions I had never thought about. Instead of coding lots of exceptions why a station for example can't go to warp simply remove the item, and me, the programmer, never has to write an error message, error exception, or bypass that command some other way. Your suggestion has just saved me loads of programming time just by removing options that aren't needed for ship or station x. Raul A. Gallegos wrote: > Hi.

Re: [Audyssey] Miner STFC News.
Hi Allan, Well, at the moment no the number of torpedoes in the menus doesn't reflect the number of torpedoes the ship can fire. Although, now that you mentioned it would make allot of sence to have it stop when you reached the maximum number of torpedoes. Although, I will say right off I didn't mention this in the announcement firing photon and quantum torpedoes is quite a bit different in the 2.0 branch from the 1.0 version. You see, on Star Trek the most that can realistically be fired at once is 30 torpedoes. Some ships like Defiant can only fire 15 in a full spread at one time. Well, if we were using the values from v1.0 of STFC it wouldn't get very far. However, in 2.0 all the photons and quantums pack a huge amount of fire power. So if you fired say 15 quantums it would totally knock a standard enemies shields down, but not enough to destroy that ship. Follow that with a phaser blast and that dude is heavily damaged if not toast. So STFC 2.0 will allow you to fire upwards to 30 torpedoes, and the values have been calculated for that amount of torpedoes. Firing 30 in 2.0 is like firing 300 in 1.0. However, you still have 300 torpedoes so you have basically 10 times the firepower in 2.0 than in 1.0.

What about specifying the exact amount of torpedoes. Let's say I want to fire 42 quantums.

Re: [Audyssey] Miner STFC News.
Hi Tom, The dynamic menus sound great, I am lloiking forward to using them to kill some borgs with extreme predjudice. grin. One question, and forgive me if you had mentioned this somewhere else. I was wondering if the weapons firing choices will reflect the remaining left number of torpedoes or energy that might be available. For instance, a player has three hundred quantums and fires 150 of them. When he goes to fire a second salvo using quantums, will the amount of quantums left, in this case 150, be reflected in the choose number of quantums to fire menu? Currently, these numbers aren't made available when choosing, but rather every ship has a standard choice to launch, I think a max of three hundred, even though the player might not have that amount available. thanks, and I hope I asked that question right, grin.
