Forum - Space Odyssey MMORPG - a massive free online space game

I have been working for some time now on improving the fleet upgrades, namely making it more realistic and easy to design / upgrade fleets. The idea is to be able to use a blueprint to install several systems of the same type on the ship.

For example, if I have a shield blueprint, it's more realistic to assume that I can install the same shield twice on my ship, improving the aborbtion. The same goes with weapons and the other categories. All the penalties apply and nothing is changed in the way they are calculated, you can install something 10 times with a different blueprint or 10 times in the same, it does not matter.

There is a max of 250 modules / upgrade that can be installed with a given module blueprint, however there is no max of modules per ship, you can use another blueprint with the same stats to install another 250 modules and so on.

This update is available on the SO Wars server, and it will be available to SO Main in a few days if everything goes well. It has been tested and re-tested to make sure there are no modifications to the way the stats are calculated.

God Speed commanders!

 :wow: YOU RULE EMI!!!! hahaha i was just getting rdy to design 4 new ships literally minutes from when u did the update... this saves me (and i'm sure many many others) hours!!!

plz keep up the great work and excellent timing!

Yay!

Party!!! :punk:

Sweet... :12:

gj emi :D, ive been waiting for an update for a very long time, now we all know what u were working on :D

let the pship madness begin :D

hum wonder if we can get a power ship that gives more power then the credits you spend on it now :12:

sigh emi! now i have to go back and delete all the posts in my allaine so i can edit the first one and incorrperate that into the guide..

*shrug* maybe you should add the option to edit posts in the allaince next :p

Any idea of when this update will be available? this could be the best update yet :dribble:

It is available just only on Space Odyssey Wars :12:

Hum I think I'll start making a 250,000 Weapon Powership when its added to SO :diablo:

it would really be pointless other than to desive people.. cause the best p ship out there has a 4.7 to 1 credit ratio with max gold and line, and it only has like 300 weapons.. others close to hit have 4.5 to 4.4 and there areound 1000-3000 weapons..

I don't like you implying that I'm making it in order to make people think its better than any other one out there. I'm making it for pure fun.

oh no.. a p ship with 250k weapons would be asusome.. gosh that big.. that expensive.. wow i mean i could have what? 14 ship, have (random guess) 10 tril power and noone would know that 10 of them are just powerships lol that would rock!

nahh, i would attack u anyways

You'd still have to design 1000 wepons though

well as far as i know pships can give 0.73 fp for 1 cred max -i already went ahead and created 50k weap pship and it was just a bit better than 1.2k pship :)

What attack were the weapons your using?

nice job emi

The update is also available on SO Main now.

On other notes, all the ships that had many weapons of the same type had their weapons combined with this update to optimize the database.
For example, if you had a swarmer ship with 1000 weapons of the same type that had 1000 records in the database, it has been converted to 5 x 250 weapons of same type, reducing it from 1000 records to only 5 and improving the View / Edit room to load faster and be able to add / remove system faster.

Ship stats have not been modified in any way.

God Speed!

lol wouldent it be 4x250=1000?
:P

oh  yeah... 4 x 250, 4 records sorry  :confused:  0o

yay- now i can delete 1.1k of my pship weap designs lol
