Autocannon glitch in ship strengths export.
« on: November 06, 2009, 01:44:06 pm »
Interesting, apparently there is a glitch in that chart.  I'm looking at the raw values for this in the game code itself, and they are correctly set up.  They appear to be entirely backwards on that chart.  Revenantus, is that my glitch or yours with the exports?

This makes me feel better. I just unlocked Autocannon IIIs so I could build IVs... i was going to be pissed if it turned out my IVs were weaker then the IIIs ;)

BTW: I'm now inspired to work with the ship data and stats and come up with a reasonably small set of modifiers that generates similar in game characteristics... More of a thought exercise then anything else.

I presume mine, as I've just checked the latest export from the game and the data in the xml file is correct. However, the unit data on that page is still from a previous version of the game; I haven't updated it to 2.0 yet. I'll quickly fix the autocannon error in any case.

For anyone using the strong vs / weak vs charts, those are always up to date with the latest releases pretty quickly - they currently reflect 2.0.

Possibly those values were reversed in-game in the past, and I fixed it, even.  Too many small tweaks for me to remember them all, so I can't really say for sure on that.

What would players think of having the next batch of unit data in pdf form, rather than a wiki table?

In many ways a pdf would be easier for me to maintain, and it could look a lot better, though if there's a reason that a web based resource is more valuable we can stick with the current system.

I split this, because it's becoming its own topic here. :)

I think it's fine as a PDF, but I don't know what others will think.

Personally, I'd vote for the PDF format. They can still be linked from the wiki, so one can either view them directly online or print them out as desired. It would be nice to have the printable option for when I'd like them right in front of me.
