As for the eject button, I will firmly oppose it unless it's accompanied by the risk of death and injury in air combat & ejection. Else it's a stupid "get out of jail free" card.

I thought more about adding a decision: should I eject now, or do I stay in the cockpit and try to save the whole ship? But I'm not sure how it'd work.

And I'm certainly not against risk of injury; actually, we could even have injuries from simply getting ship damage, caused by rough shaking and exploding consoles. :)

Plus there's the "save the pilot" mission idea.

Yeah, but to make it work, we'd have to have ground combat emulate MoO2's ground combat.  :)

Are we getting Battleoids then? :P
Anyway, as I said, the turn-based air combat was a very loose idea. I'd just like to see a more competent air combat engine, and I can't see improving the vanilla one.

Maybe we should do the aircombat discussion in another thread

*Wanders back in*

Oh hey, cool, a new version!  And yeah, Dioxine forwarded me sprites ahead of time to update the Alt-Corpses mod, but my life has been absolutely crazy and I've had no time to address this.

So question here to the players:  Is there interest in having Alt-Corpses still up to date or is the new built-in functionality sufficient?  (I assume the latter is what I've been seeing in Meridian's LP)

Hey Ivan, you're back!  I quite like the built-in functionality, both using it myself and seeing it in the LPs, and it's surely less work to maintain for you than making new sprites for Alt-Corpses...

It doesn't need maintaining at all, and it's not Ivan's, the 2 sprites I made for it are obviously uglier than his work :)

That was the point I was trying to make - his idea, but now with no busywork for him, so he can get on to spriting other things!  Ivan, maybe you can release the red crosses and z's sprites you used for the AltCorpses mod as an alternative to the ones in the built-in functionality?

Given that there are different TU costs for moving equipment to different slots in the inventory screen, i find it hard to remember it all (and having to experiment blindly is a chore). Would it be possible to pick up an item from one slot and have the TU cost appear for whatever slot that your cursor is currently hovering over?

Just upgraded to 099D1. Looks good - Should be able to put in some play time tonight.

The change to the Inventory images was nice - I will be makeing this change to my Armour mod tonight - as was the new armours. Though, I'll have to make some changes to my rulesets to stop My Extra runt armours from over-lapping with the Brainer diveing suits.

FYI - Male Image #1 in the Piratez Alternate Armor - Smoke mod should be body33_M0_pir.gif not body33_M00_pir.gif. Its the only one mis-labled as far as I can see.

This is already done, no?

Yes, it is already done. Might be an option you have to turn on though.

I can't seem to find the "scout" item required to research cybernetic interface and I've been stuck for a while. What is it?

A scout should be one of the enemy ships, there are a couple ways I know of to get the research: find the paperwork on the scout or (ahem) interview some engineers, maybe pilots will work too, possibly a few others.

Is there a convenient list of craft that can/cant go underwater floating around somewhere? My Pachy finally has a disappointing downside

Most excellent mod. Query: The Workshop description states that it gives you an 'unlimited amount of Runt Outfits', but I get no Runt Outfit option when I select my gals and making them still requires materials. Am I misunderstanding something?
