Concerning your workers.

First here are some Ideas for your men.

1. Medics
They will partly bringing the staff back that will be lost due a fight, when the hull droped.

2. Weaponengeniers.
They will increase the fireingrate, speed and damage of the weapons,

3. Enginemechanics.
They will increase the enginespeed, when the hull drops unitl 100% of the original speed

4. Shieldengeniers.
They will increase the loadingrate of the shield and the max shield.

5. HullMechanics
will repair the hull slowly. When working on a carrier they also heal stored ships

So here you have a number of different staff.

I also suggest that skilled staff should be able to overtune the ship with speed shield and hulldurance, and be able to work faster.

When they leave the tuning will be lost.

@Cycrow do you have to be in the same capital ship to hire the crew to that cap ship

Posted: Fri, 3. Feb 06, 21:37
by Cycrow
no, you dont need to be in a captiol ship

what you do, is hire the crew from the BBS, you can be in any ship to do this
once hired, you then have to assign them to the ship you want them to serve on.

you do that via the ships additional commands
you can do it remotly so you dont even need to be in the capitol ship

Cycrow, do these guys repair docked ships as well?

You also might want to think about just a big hiring cost for the mechanic at the beginning, but then greatly spaced out payments. Mechanics demanding pay every hour when you put those ungrateful bastards up in your cap ship is a little too expensive.

by Cycrow
well, i need to c how the costs balance out. i might increase the time between payments.

they dont repair docked ships yet, but they will, once i get the workers in, they will also repair any ships that are docked

One more quick question. As they work... will the crew gain experiance? Becoming more efficient in their respective fields?

By the way you are my hero.

no they dont, i wasn't sure weather to improve thiere stats or not

which means you will have to look for better ones, maybe i could make them improve abit, but u'll never get a 1 rated crew upto 10

maybe once i've add some more stats i might think about doing that
could have like a certain number of experience poitns, and over time these points get spent to increase the stats.

So say one crew member could have 5 experience points, and those points will slowly get added onto the stats to increse them. This will be hidden so you wont know how many of these points there have and will jsut work in tthe back ground

I am favoring the choice to devide the mechanics in to different skills.
This will decrease the power they have and open up the opportunity to set prioritys on different tasks.

Ive already posted some idea above what do you think ?

Posted: Fri, 3. Feb 06, 23:35
by Cycrow
well, the problem with some of them is that there not possible via scripts
as scripts cant change the anything to do with weapons or shields

i will most likly have Engineers, that can tune the ship, increase speed and steering

and i will look at adding medics, but first need to add damage to crew members when the ship is under attack :P

On carriers (M1's and possibly TL's) do the mechanics also repair the docked fighters? It'd be better than having to fly your carrier to a shipyard to dock all your fighters for repairs.

Does this script conflict with the terracorp pilots scipt?
