Ted,
I will review the 3rd Gen definition. It should be using an empire specific refit. That means that the refit has the weapons for that empire and that is sets the empire to be the name of the refit.

Garth,
There should be no need for a specific BATS ship definition for each empire.

Ted,
I just added the 3rd Gen BATS using the client and the Kzinti looked fine. The 40 box shield refit was available. (i.e. it is the Y175 refit). I don't see the Snare or Plasma-D. When the Kzinti refit is applied.

Do you have the latest client? (I know there were issues with previous versions of the client and refits)

New definition files for the bases have been sent to Paul. Thanks to Francois's excellent bug report, the problems appear to have been addressed.

Problem with X-Drones: They're broken. They simply don't work like X-Drones. A type-VII can't be loaded in a rack. A Type-VIII cannot load any spaces of payload. A Type-VIII is 1.5 rack spaces, not 2, so you can't get the correct number drones in the rack.

3rd Gen SSD for Zin BC has weird racks. They have duplicate racks, some A some B/C.

For the MSC it has all A-racks regardless of refit.

Maybe problem with client version since I added these ships, then updated.

Problem with Zin BATS resolved with client update.

Ted,
I'll look into the BC drone thingy tonight since I made them.

Thanks !

Cheers
Frank

Frank, I laid down the BC before I updated the client. It's entirely possible the problem is with failing to do the client update.

/me bows
Thank you, Gents
That base has 37 possible refits. Some of these bases are probably the most complicated SSDs in the SFB-Online software

Waiting on next set of images and defs.

By Matthew Potter (Neonpico) on Friday, February 06, 2015 - 08:16 am: Edit

I, also am waiting on images

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Friday, February 06, 2015 - 01:11 pm: Edit

Sorry about the delay in images. I've been buried in doing that @#$% fiction for CL50, what with the entire company on hold for six weeks while I create it. (If I have a story in my head writing it takes a day. If I have to create one, then, well, things don't go well.)

I'll try to get you guys at least something today or tomorrow.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Friday, February 06, 2015 - 06:26 pm: Edit

Ok, I dug into it, and here's the hold up. (Insert standard rant that I'm very busy talking to way too many people and sometimes don't remember the point that any given conversation reached.)

Did you ever decide if you want them color or grayscale? Or do you want certain empires in color and there rest in grayscale?

To avoid sending my brain back into reset mode, could future requests for images specify if you want color or grayscale?

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Friday, February 06, 2015 - 07:41 pm: Edit

I sent Frank three ships he asked for and asked Petrick what the other one looks like.

I sent Matthew two ships in two formats and asked him which of three formats he wanted.

By Francois Lemay (Princeton) on Friday, February 06, 2015 - 08:37 pm: Edit

I will be away from Feb 7 till Feb 25 with no access to a computer and yes, that is intentional !
:)

I'll get at them ships upon my return.

Cheers
Frank

If any of you guys want art this is a good week to ask for two or three.
