Discussion, Suggestions & Feedback / Pre-Programing Ship Targeting
« on: April 18, 2015, 03:37:06 PM »
Hey all,
I've been messing around with the idea of programing in the equivalent of a targeting computer to the way ships engage in EaW. Before I started messing around with the game's coding I first wanted to check and make sure that 1: It's legal to do so 2: Someone hasn't already done it 3: See if anybody has a similar interest and could offer up ideas as to how to go about it.
My thoughts are as follows:
I've noticed that when engaging an enemy ship with hard points, my ships don't target in any specific or strategic order. I constantly find myself pausing the game and manually targeting the individual hard points to most efficiently take down enemy ships, but with 15+ ships in play this is tedious. Ideally, I'd like to program in multiple targeting modes that would be user enabled during a conflict to make most effective use of their fleet.
Comments, questions, suggestions?
