Master Leffe Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 After adding in a 6000 credits, 6 pop. Mon Cal Cruiser to the Rebels that kicks the crap out of Star Destroyers, I'm realizing that the Imperials need something to balance it out. So I'm making a Chiss Star Destroyer (not a public mod, though I'm considering it), but I have a slight problem. In order to make megamasers (the Chiss equivalent of turbolasers) better than an average ISDs weapons, I'm trying to give them the ability to pierce shields. The CSD will just have lower shields to balance its massive firepower. The only problem is I'm not sure how to modify a turbolaser to pass through shields. Does anyone know how to do this? I tried it on my own, but it didn't quite work... Thanks!
jedi3112 Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 I think the easiest way to do this would be to create a new weapon using information from the torpedo, but give it the speed, movement, looks etc. from the turbolaser. Anothing you could try is to copy the line that makes torpedoes go through shields to your new weapon and use the turbolaser lines instead. I haven't tried modding the game yet, I found out that I didn't have enough diskspace so I have to clear that out first. I can't tell you the lines because of this either.

Master Leffe Posted March 14, 2006 Author Posted March 14, 2006 Megamasers. Read any book with the Chiss in it and you'll usually see them. So just by making that "NO" instead of "YES", it passes through the shields?
Master Leffe Posted March 14, 2006 Author Posted March 14, 2006 Hmmm... I suppose it does. I was going to try that, but then I thought that it would just make the weapon useless... give me a second to test this.
Slocket Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Set shield to "no" and energy to "no" and hitpoint to "yes". Then only the hull will absorb the damage bypassing shields. They are correct.
Master Leffe Posted March 14, 2006 Author Posted March 14, 2006 Just tested it and it works perfectly. Thanks a lot guys.
Rhedd-5 Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 My pleasure. Glad it worked. As a thank you, please don't suggest that I read an EU book EVER again. heh ^_^
Master Leffe Posted March 15, 2006 Author Posted March 15, 2006 AH! Your words wound me... (Sorry, but I love those books lol)
Isair Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 AH! Your words wound me... (Sorry, but I love those books lol) Agreed, I've actaully got to get around to reading some more of them since it's been a while since I've last read one.
