a ship idea, little advice needed

Postby geekZoltan » Wed Apr 23, 2014 6:02 am

Hi,

So, I have an idea of a ship, but I need some help to make the custom augmentation work.
The ship, Mjölnir (named after the hammer of Thor) will have an augmentation called "ion storm generator". With that you can stimulate surrounding nebula to turn it into an ion storm, that will hopefully harm your opponent more than you. Of course, you can upgrade your reactors more than you need to run your systems, to make sure you'll have the advantage. Pretty neat, huh?

The problem: this augmentation needs a blue option into every nebula event, that has a ship battle on it. I also want it to work with the legendary Captain's Edition (which I love by the way <3), so there are a hell of a lot of those events. I spent an hour last night editing those events yesterday :lol: But I'm ok with all of that. The real problem is how to make sure, that my mod overrides those events that the other mod, Captain's Edition, allready modifies?

Thanks people ;)

If you want it to override anything from captain's edition, it simply has to be loaded after captain's edition. Cool augment idea by the way. :lol:

By the Way as I know you cant change the maximum upgrade level of the reactor ;)
So you would have to set the StartingPower as high :mrgreen:
