Confused

Post by PaulB »

Ok, I'm totally confused.
This is my Frame configuration:
Starmaster = avail assm = 550 yes???
Engine 7 = 145 (Neptune MK I)
Shields 9 = 140 (C9)
Fuel Tk 2 = 40 (800)
Wings 11 = 150 (NightHawk MK I)
C Bays 5 = 125 (5x25)
----------------------------
Total as. = 600____550 - 600 = -50

So how come I got all the above and 0 assm left over out of 550 when based on the math I shouldn't be able to since it comes to -50???

The problem rests with the cargo bays. A long time ago, their resource consumption was reduced to 15 from 25. While everything else calculates this correctly for cargo bays, the displayed amount in the lower left frame incorrectly shows 25 points for each bay. When you have 5 cargo bays, the difference between 5 X 15 and 5 X 25 results in 50, which is the difference you encountered. The text file has been corrected for the next update to properly show 15 units per bay rather than 25. In the meantime, you can change this in the text.dat file in notepad by changing this line:

1133= X 25 units

to

1133= X 15 units

Then when the next official update rolls out, this line change will apply anyway upon installation.
