Right now I'm currently working on a mod thats merging a lot of the features from as many of the mods out there that I can and still make things functional and fun, long process no? So far its been going good, all the basic editng done and now its just the long testing process so I can correct my mistakes.
I do however have some things I want to try and put in that I haven't seen on other mods, and some that just haven't been implemented much on some of the newer mods. This is where I ran into my first snag, and I wanted to see if anyone has any ideas on a solution or if at the moment it is just out of reach for the current modding tools.
Having massive battles is fun, huge fleet vs fleet scenes with weapons fire going in every direction (even more so with the mod I'm working on), but after a while I got kind of bored with all of the ships just kind of sitting there shooting at each other. Just like two guys standing face to face shooting each other, you would think they would be dodging or moving around to make them a harder target to hit. Well I wanted to apply some of that logic here, and this is where I need a bit of help.
I want to eventually see whole fleets manuvering around, shooting from every angle possible. Now at the moment the only ships that do even a portion of what I want to see are the Squadron Fighters and Bombers, but after looking through the modding tools files I could find, I didn't see anything that would make them act like they do (other then the last thing I could think of which was the entityType). Is there something I'm missing that could easily make say a Cobalt Light Frigate fly around like a Fighter does or is there some way I could make them do that?
Thanks,
