| Summary | 0001779: AI ships with low missile ammount exhaust their supply too fast | ||||
| Description | Here a suggested fix for this: added $Friendly AI Secondary Fire Delay Scale: and $Hostile AI Secondary Fire Delay Scale: to ai_profiles.tbl and entered retail values into FS2 RETAIL profile. | ||||
| Additional Information | This is a must have for WC Saga since Wing Commander ships traditionally have a very low ammount of missiles compared to FS2 standards. | ||||

Ok. Technically this is not a bugfix, though. How urgent is it? |

Well, right now Saga is using AI weapons with longer lock time and longer refire delay to adjust the AI behavior. The problem is, this completely rules out using the loadout selection screen since you cannot make weapons available for the player's wingmen and not have them show up in that screen and be assignable to the player too, so the player would see every missile/torpedo twice like "Torpedo and AI-Torpedo". So as long as we do not have this feature we cannot use the loadout selection screen hence it is a release blocker. So since this isn't going to change any of the retail behavior as should be obvious by looking at the code adn the FS2 RETAIL settings for this, we'd really appreciate having this in the SVN. This is one of the most urgent requests we have right now except for from dynamic message limit. |

I agree that the loadout screen issue is a serious problem (I have commented on it before). I will post a thread in the SCP internal. |

K, done. |
