I’m not sure how accurate this is but there is definitely a strong negative correlation between shield strength and the threshold value:

effective shield capacity = max_capacity * (1 - offline_threshold)

Shield will come back when both of these are true:
time offline >= max_capacity * offline_threshold / regeneration_rate
time offline >= offline_rebuild_time

To ensure any missiles you add don’t blow up too early here are some simple formulas for calculating the minimum time they need to reach their desired distance:

top speed = muzzle_velocity+accel * motor life
accel distance = muzzle_velocity * motor life + accel/2 * motor life

munition lifetime >= (seeker_range - accel distance) / top speed + motor life

Here are some images that I will continue to add as we get.

@Alfa:

Me and my team are trying to come up with a story for our game. Well…we’re stuck on the story. Right now we need the start for it, which is, “How would WWIII start?”

We thought of religion with the Hadron Collider, but obviously that wouldn’t work. So then I thought of oil. That wouldn’t work either. So, that’s why I’m now coming to y’all to see if y’all can helps us out. Any ideas would be great. Thanks in advanced.

Chuck Norris would start WW3.

Hey, no problem. I know I still suck. But I’m learning pretty quickly… sorta. Would be nice if we could get Golem Pyros to model for us, but he doesn’t care about the art much anymore it seems. Not to mention he has little intrest in ever modeling for games do to the restrictions.

I know exactly what you’re talking about. I install all my games on my secondary HD, otherwise I wouldn’t be albe to touch their files (i.e. mod FL). The only reason that file doesn’t show is because it’s directed to the C:/ drive, which means that without extreme permissions, it won’t be created.

Haha, why post it here then Alfa?:P

Yeah listen to Gibbon, he’s right…again ;D

My problems related to BINI are regarding using the 5th and 6th decimal point on its own example = 0.000002 These values are typically in the nebulas or asteroid ini’s, but I have overcome this now.

Sorry Guys, I know the thread was locked, but it seems I missed out and I want my say.

I joined The Starport on the basis that we would not discuss TLR. We would let them do thier thing, and we do ours. We would strive to provide a safe, secure, fun and helpful place to come learn and discuss Modding, Tools, servers and everything related to Freelancer. We would show maturity and decency to all, and uphold strict standards.

I see none. That goes to some Staff and many community members.

Guys, it does not matter what TLR does. We are not TLR. SWAT is not TLR. TLR is it’s own site. Leave them to it. Do we every month have to have this ‘blow out’ we always seem to have.

Ignore it, and it will go away, somewhat like a bad smell…. or Cheesy boys feet.

If someone else (even Azza) runs TFL, leave him to it. I personally wish him luck. Although I have had my share of experiences with his and Knife, I am beginning to think TLR is cursed. So anyone wishing to take it on needs luck, and a lot of it.

It’s a shame I didn’t spot this earlier, as personally the language used here was beyond acceptable and personally I would have deleted half the posts, inclusing those of ‘prominent’ community members.

I thank you for your time, and wish you all a pleasant evening.
