(Orbital Weapons Platform Question) need help on this.

[DarkkUnit_1]

ok first off...yes im new to the game but i know my way around mods and stuff..so i got a large orbital defense weapons systems platform using a cheat but...it don't do anything when enemy's are in around it, how do thay work? is there a mods/script for that can make them work? ( if they even really work on there own) and if not what can thay do? im just a lil lost on how thes things work..i mean whats the point of calling them "Orbital Weapons Platforms" if thay don't do any thing. but if any one can set me strait on this plz do. trying to better under stand the game and the things in it as well as mods that may/may not work.

The Orbital weapons platforms are a bit like a ship at 0 speed. They need to be filled up with missiles and guns for them to work. They do bugger all for OOS combat but will work if you're in the same sector and enemies are present.

humm but how would i do this, (and as far as OOS combat, no clue in to what you mean by that plz explain that). how will this work by just adding missiles and guns? or do thay have to be a specific type of guns and missiles ? from what i thought was, there were slots for the weapons on the platform like a ship has slots for its guns. are u sure that it will work by just simply adding armaments in its docking hold?

OOS = Out Of Sector combat or, when your ships do battle against enemies and you are not in the sector at the same time.

OWP's are equiped just like a ship and have the same menu's for doing so. If you target your OWP and push i you will be given the details of the weapons and missiles it can hold. Most take a huge amount of guns and missiles to fill them up, but as you have cheated yourself one in already then adding guns and missiles the same way, would give you an idea of the cost involved if you were doing it normally.

They only use lasers when IS. OOS they only fire missiles.

If you install OOS Reballance script, then OWP will work very well in OOS.

And if you use Cadiuses OWPs as well they rule the battlefield

Or you use the CODEA weapon bases. They don't have an own English topic yet, but I have linked them in Lucikes Collection anyway as far as I remember.

Lucike adapted the vanilla scripts for better usable OWP's too and also CODEA is useable for the OWP's.

CODEA has it's own English topic.

do you have a link to the OOS Reballance script ? also the link to Cadiuses OWPs ? also i tryd to get the info on the OWP but it dident give any info on what guns or missals to us all it gave was ship upgrades.
