Seeing the whole hull multiplier things, and my own thoughts have suddenly turned up an interesting idea. Hull Ammunition Multipliers.

Basically, rather than a weapon having the same ammunition regardless of what ship its in, be a scout or dreadnought, each weapon would have variable ammunition depending on the shipclass. Also, different weapons may yield different ammunition counts. heres a rather crudely done snippet of code to simulate such things. Its not nearly as sophisticated but it gives an idea. Everything is done in multipliers.

ammoCount("ICCMissileDreadnought")
SetAmmo("ITMissile") = *5
SetAmmo("ARMissile") = *5
SetAmmo("Fusion Torpedo") = *.2
SetAmmo("Torpedo Fighter (Anti-ship fighter)") = *1
SetAmmo("Fighter") = *.8
SetAmmo("Bomber") = *2
EndAmmoCount;

Also, it can be used to set resources limits for devices like Reloads, so, say, A light supply only has 1000 resource units of reload per reload. Wheras a Station has over 10 thousand per reload.

would make more sense, but those numbers are a bit high O.o;;...I don't think any MD will last that long to fire them all...and whats the point of supplies if dreads can hold like 50x more ammo?..but it's a good idea

actually 5x Is pretty decent for IT missiles, and you got to remember, Dreads are supposed to last a REALLY Long time.... not to mention id like to give the ability for larger ships to at least be independant of a resupply for some time, rather than having to force a supply to be at his side at all times.

Meh, I suggested that from the very beginning, but for some reason Tael thinks big ships should have less ammo.

Bigger Ships = More Room = More place to put stuff, including ammo.

Hello, simple logic would tell us, if there can be more, there probably would be more.

You're obviously thinking of a different game.

There is no extra space on bigger ships. It is all full of cheese supplies

Tael says the dread is full of weapons and systems, so it cant fit that much ammo. But I also think that dreads should fit 2-3x more ammo.

Logic you say? QST. QS is what happends at the core of blackholes. Which ripps the fabric of exestince apart. In other words what on this game makes sense we have dreads and stations docking on planets like Luna which are fairly smaller than dreads and station by the way. All i'm saying is dont take this stuff with logic.

Move back on-topic please.

In my opinion, it just doesnt make sense for a Lvl 8 Torpedo to have the same amount of ammunition on a destroyer as on a Dreadnoght. Considering especially that Dreadnoughts dont have weapon damage/weapon reload multplier advantages like hull.

no... what dreads have is more power not more space... where a lesser class has less power...

lvl8 wepons not as good on smallers ships do to the inabliaty to keep up a sustaned fire long enough to do a high amount of damage...

that is the way i heard it exsplaned... though i too am unhappy with the realy low ammo count at higher lvls...

My ship has killed Dreads easy. With plenty of power to spare.

Not to mention missile ammunition is pathetic anyway. You should have at least enough ammunition to last for a battle. I dont think anybody ever imagined space combat as having every fearsome 'dreadnought' with a supplyship at it's side because the Dreadnoughts never had enough ammunition themselves.
