Cosmoteer Official Forum

From now on the main releases will be the light version while the full ship classes version will be a separate optional download of a different mod.txt

This version is not compatible with previous Cosmoteer versions

Known issues:

• A lot of new effects and animation are not working or are inflicted with a few game bugs. However, they do not impact on part function in anyway. So things work.
• Fusion beam: a game bug that makes it no longer use power.
• Proxy bug: Walt fixed something related to proxies (probably with crashes relating to destroyed parts) which now seem to be more broken than before. All parts using proxies to access other parts are potentially broken which includes all kind of supply and transfer parts: supply corridors, nodes, transporters etc..

Changed
A lot of re-organizations and renaming to a better scheme. Will continue in the next version.

New:
See next post for more details

For the full version use this to replace the standard light version with the full "mod.txt" version. This should allow you to access separate ship classes.

The planned Star Trek parts have been moved back further except for some weapons here. This version adds more turrets, specifically, the roof turrets version of the old weapons. Not all are covered but most relevant.

Changes

• Vertical missile launcher now can switch to use all vanilla missiles, mines

roof turrets versions of old:

• electron_laser_turret2, for the beam
• electron_laser_turret3, for small one but shoots shots
• antiproton_turret, for the single gun
• antiproton_turret2, threw in a new dual variant, why not
• retractable_antiproton_turret2, the single one
• retractable_twin_antiproton_turret2, the dual version

New

• flex_hybrid_turret, a mixed PD with ordinary PD and AHEAD with rods
• flex_hybrid_turret2, dual version for larger ships
• micro_torpedo_turret, Kelvin timeline micro torpedo turret
• hydrant fusion_beam, has different power settings: normal, overload, suicide overload with 1x,2x,10x power
• hydrant hellbore, works best against shields, interaction with ESG is not possible atm

For the electron laser weapons you can now build accelerator-undulator parts to increase the firepower as far as the battery storages allow. There are three parts:

• electron_laser_source serves as the starting point

• electron_laser_undulator, the main extension parts, can be used to split into two ways

• electron_laser_undulator_bend_left/right, to build around corners

• Star Trek time_warp_core1, time_warp_core2 : displacement warp drives; long-term parts will be upgraded to blink drive feature; hence, not fully operational yet as planned

• ball_defense_turret; another Yamato additions

• A set of intruder defense parts: corridor_security1x,1corridor_security1x1 corner L/R parts and for more HP corridor_security1x2, and corridor_security2x2 L/R. You really only need the first two. They currently suffer from an animation game bug.

• weapons_locker1x2

• storage_automated01 L/R universal storage system for later

• armor_2x2corner L/R special purspose

By request added re-imaged Battlestar Galactica turrets

• BSG_battery_turret, the large railgun turret; dual attack/defense mode (flak); default is attack
• BSG_defense_turret2; the dual gatlings; semi-flak mode and less laggy than vanilla PD; should help with spam
• BSG_main_battery; fixed railguns for the nose; 2x powerful shots as battery turrets
  Penetration might be high, no explosive warheads; might change depending on feedback

Example ship:

I seem to be having an issue with the power transfer system, whenever I add another shield or gun I have to completely delete my power grid due to the new shield not getting power then rebuild the system, is it just me or has anyone else had an issue with this?

I got a crash when the cloning pod times out. Though I think what you did wrong is you typed "clone_pod" instead of "cloning_pod" for when the pod returns to normal. By the way, can you fix the biocorridor? Can you please change it to something else since I hate it when I have to go into the settings and wait hours for it to load.

Solar138 Ooops. Thanks for telling me. I honestly don't remember when I changed the name. But I recon it happens a lot as I create things and coordinate them. Re-uploaded the fix.
Please elaborate on the biocorridor.

Kriencky Do you mean playing save games? AFAIK some past RC versions had that problem and became incompatible. I also encounted a similar one last week with 0.14.12 stable just because I removed a part. Walt hasn't said anything about it yet.

If it's the ship's file then it's more likely a mod bug. Hunting it down would be difficult since it could be anywhere. But it would be very helpful if you got an idea which part you used that caused it.
