Can the Strategies.txt be edited so that capital ship missiles are targeted? |
Is it possible to edit the strategies.txt file so that capital ship missiles are targeted? I have a vision of doing away with pd on my attack ships and leaving this duty to a figther screen, but I can't find an example of how to do this.
Also, I was wondering if (on the off-chance that I'm brave enough to be owned by everyone younger and older than me who plays multi-player) you can use custom strategies in a multi-player game, or do you need to stick to the strategies defined by the host?

Not to say you can't mod fighter weapons to target seekers... that DOES seem odd, come to think of it, that they can't!

That would be cool.
Reminds me of Wing Commander III (or IV, I forget) and other space flying games, flying a fighter by the seat of your pants, going full afterburner, trying to shoot down big missiles the enemy is launching at your ships from a long distance away.
Edit:
Fighters in SE 5 also need missile weapons that can be used against other units.

I believe that was a mission in wing commander 3 that was imposible to win no matter what you did. Had to be that way as it was part of the storyline 
Groovy Baby Yeah!

How bout freespace
Re: Can the Strategies.txt be edited so that capital ship missil
Yeah, Freespace 2 is my favourite space sim. I loved the capital ships going at it with each other in game while you're flying around in a fighter dodging their beam weapons.
I seem to recall the imposible to win mission in WC3 was if the Humans had lost the war and the Kilrathi? were invading sol. There were infinte waves of fighters and a dreadnought that wouldn't die even if you were cheating

I changed the component.txt target list so fighter and ship weapons can target CSM (along with all other missile and torpedo). So yes, you can change it so you can target (seeker or directed torpedo something like that in the component.txt file where you have target list) with your unit and ship weapons.

The mission I was thinking about was where you were protecting a cap ship. The kilrathi attacked with cloacked missles and no matter what you did the cap ship blew up. The part of the game I hated the most was when Angel and the mechanic girl were sitting at the bar and you had to choose which one
Groovy Baby Yeah!

None of the fighter weapons can target CSMs.
You can edit your strategies (in game) to whatever you want in a PBW/PPEM game.
