When will the changes to the combat system take place?

Also, will it require a new version of the order editor?

Stuff should be going to KJC on monday, assuming i do not surcome to german mesals that the kids now have. Then it will depend on sorting out the online order editor before things are going.

There will be a new version of the order editor + orders.cfg. You will need them to use the squadron orders.

What's the deadline for sorting officers out?

I hope they get well soon.

And that you don't come down with it yourself.

And not just because I'm dead keen to get the squadron order up and running. smile.gif

What do you mean ? Getting officers in the correct location to be converted to naval ? Depends when we put the new version on - monday most likely, so all conversions go through then.

That's what I meant yeah, thanks.

So did they go ahead today (or are you a spotty person tongue.gif )?

just a quick question about the new combat changes and squadrons

if a ship is spotted by any of the ships in the squadron that is on the enemy list, does it get involved in combat?, IE at the moment a non admiral spots a ship and it wont engage, under the news rules will it and all the others engage?

im not saying it should, im just asking the question, in fact im saying it should still probably be the same as it is now.
Gandolph
forget above question, the new officers would be able to have people on the enemy list and would not be reliant on an admiral.

must learn to read the changes thoroughly before asking silly questions biggrin.gif
Ted
May as well ask this question here as anywhere!!! biggrin.gif

I see the new orders are on the online editor.Will there be a new orders cfg for the offline editor as I prefer that one??? blink.gif

download the new editor from the site - everything you need is in the zip file

Hi.
I am downloading the new beta editor from the website and it all unzips ok,but I still have the old one for some reason and yes it is going into the phoenix file!!
Dan Reed
what version number does it say? I've now got V 1.3.3

Dan
Steve-Law
Ted, did you unzip it to the same location as the old one? (probably c:\program files\skeletal or something like that, right click the shortcut and look at properties)
Ted
I did unzip it to that file,but it still shows the older version.
I've attempted it several times now!!!!! mad.gif

The latest editor containing all the new orders is the Beta Editor. If this is what you have downloaded then there is something wrong.

Have you a shortcut on your desktop that you use to activate the program? If so this may well be pointing to a second copy of the order editor stuck somewhere else on your PC.
You can test this - go into the directory you unzipped the order editor. It should have a last modified 4/10/04 (or there abouts) and double click on the editor to run it. This should then list all the new orders. If this is different to the one opened by your shortcut, right click on the shortcut and look at the properties to find out where this rogue copy of the order editor is.

I had similar problems so I deleted the zip file I had downloaded and used the Run option from the website, all working fine now. biggrin.gif

Do ships that are already listed as part of a squadron as some of mine are need to rejoin now the squadron orders are in?

Also on a side note Mica has sorted out my problem with downloading the new editor!! biggrin.gif
A big thank you to him,but my phone bill will be high this month!!! unsure.gif
David Bethel
All existing squadrons shoul dhave been reconstructed - you will see on your politicals as they are listed there
Ted
Thanks David smile.gif

I cannot see my ships Alert Status anywhere on the turn. A vital bit of information that needs to be included in the Space Combat Report area or possibly the Target Lists area.

Did they default to On or OFF on the update?

All on and its clearly flaged if its off.

AA Emplacements now work as point defence against surface launched fighters. Does the same apply to ground units with AA attacks?

If so, should they be included in the Point Defence Systems section of a starbase report, or kept as they are?

Could I ask nicely for it to be equally clearly marked when it is ON. Might avoid confusion.
