DSMK2 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I'm coming to a point where I want to keep my current ship design, yet want the new weapons slot/inventory size upgrade. Would be nice if you could unlock the various hull designs, and change to them and back at the stations with ship re-customization service. Or is it hardcoded into the client?

irrelevant Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 the main issue is probably weapon mounts... if you don't care about seeing your weapons fire from your ship, it could be done I believe but the weapon mounts are hard coded, as far as I know (that's not a lot) .

DSMK2 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Can anyone confirm the above? Anyways, we could have more ship variation this way :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco[IS] Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Can anyone confirm the above? Anyways, we could have more ship variation this way :/ "Hardcoded" since Live. But you can always not do a hull upgrade. then you can keep your design. - Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irbis Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 seriously as Progen Sentinel i am simple scared of any HU i take... at the begining my PS looked like cool version of Star Wars TIE Fighter and its more like... i dont know - Space Metal Mushroom? but i dont know if this is from Live or not. bottom line - some of the HU are just plain ugly and saying "you are not forced po do HU" is like telling me i am not forced to Lvl Up.

Marco[IS] Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 but i dont know if this is from Live or not. bottom line - some of the HU are just plain ugly... It was from live, and yes it is ugly in my opinion, others think it looks better the the starting hull. Main reason I don't play as a PS is the look at the level 135 hull upgrade. ...saying "you are not forced po do HU" is like telling me i am not forced to Lvl Up. No one said you are forced to do anything. If you really like the look of your ship, then don't get a hull upgrade. You can still level up and equip level 1-9 gear on your ship. Heck, a player over the summer made it to level 150 as the starter JE ship. So it is possible. - Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyran Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 This is farfetched and unlikely to get added cuz it may be too difficult or take too much time but: Wouldnt it be cool if your hull upgrade had an option to add just the weapon/device mounts and nothing else(and be changed backwards and forward at any time)... Several advantages and disadvantages would be gained: - No speed reduction (with current upgrades you lose about 20-40 speed each time) - No signature increase (currently your ship gains something like 0.1-0.5 signature per upgrade) Downsides would be: - No cargo size increase - No hull points increase Kind of a fair tradeoff if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each ship has a 0-6 hull designator that the client comprehends. We can modify the weapon/device slots for each hull, but then it will be limited to everybody. As well, the best setup available to the client is a 6/6; six weapons, six devices. So the other guy who was wanting more weapon slots, well... can't go beyond 6. 0 = Starter hull 1 = Level 10 2 = Level 30 3 = Level 50 4 = Level 75 5 = Level 100 6 = Level 135 As you can see, there is no "branching off" factor available. I tried in the past, but the client will not comprehend alternative hull upgrades. I didn't like the hull 1 wing 1 look of a JE at level 135, so I tried to insert an alternative hull upgrade system in. It caused the client to crash. - Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrell [BT] Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Never noticed a siggy increase with all hull upgrades. Does that apply to all races/classes? I'd always though that base hull siggy was .5 for all Jenquai, 2.5 for everyone else, though I did notice that my TW's base siggy is 3.5. I did notice that except for the Solar Sail line of engines, siggy usually goes up some with tech level of engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerospace Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 The way the game displays the various hull pieces can be modified client-side, allowing you to display old hull pieces. However, this means no-one else can see it, only you...and it would apply to every other player with the same hull/wing/profession pieces as you. Though I am not sure if I am allowed to share the details here. >.> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, there is no sig increase on HU.. atleast there as not been on my Sentinel ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
