Cosmoteer Official Forum

This version continues with adding long overdue parts delayed for various reasons and still not done yet. This version offers 699 parts! It has some adjustments for the new direct control feature mainly pure missile parts.

This version is not compatible with earlier Cosmoteer versions!

Known issues:

Changed

• Repulsor Wave Expander and Gravity mines now affect bullets, mines, missile

New:

• Emita cannon: a shot warp displacement weapon which can attack distant target from random position; is bad at close range
• phaser turret a la Kelving timeline; added by request and given beam and shot spray functions taken from the unfinished gundam victory spray cannon in the VariTech mod.
• internal impulse drive building system parts
• fusion reactor
• warp core engine room
• romulan singularity_reactor
• borg tractor beam

If you got a weak/old computer or have a low amount of RAM use this to replace the standard "mod.txt". This should allow you to load and play with Abh.

The list of new parts will be completed next week.

• Emita cannon is complete except the animation part doesn't work. It has been eluding to work properly and for some reason completely invisible in this version.
• The phaser turret is complete but might need some adjustment for stats
• romulan singularity reactor; only 4 can be build on a ship
• borg tractor beam; can damage enemy shields and intercept incoming fire to a certain extend
• internal impulse drive building system parts consist of the impulse thruster (aka impulse driver coil assembly), the new fusion reactor; impulse engine room; and impulse control unit; and alternatively the new classic warp core engine room. All parts can be used independently for their main or other side purposes, but combined creates the most powerful impulse drives. There are numerous possible combinations and augmentations by using other buffing parts (plasma injector; computer). In order to keep the number of parts low the roofs of the impulse thruster and fusion reactor can be adjusted to give a visual resemblance to different shaped external exhaust designs. It's not perfect but better than having to create 144 individual parts or 432 graphical arrangement components. Instead it's only 51.

Example ship

It's complete and uploaded. Please read on the new information and details.

So I ran some measurements to get some statistic and see the difference between now and from last year's 0.5.3 RC3.6, RC4 (~0.6.0)

Loading time is mostly roughly the same but memory usage of the game has skyrocket double to triple fold.

CaptainDale I've changed release plans a bit due to game issues and spritting. I'll get to it soonish as in the next release which might be done weekend/next week. If you got requests it's best to do them in one go so I can plan better.
