Fuel Scoops
Fuel Scoops
Apologies if this question has been answered elsewhere (although I did search the previous posts and didn't find anything obvious...)Are Fuel Scoops available for the Eagle LRF? I ask because when I tried to purchase them, I got an "There is no space on your ship" message, even though I had 9T free for a 6T object.Thanks in advance.
RE: Fuel Scoops
Actually, nevermind. I had a look at the lua file for my ship and I can see the max_fuelscoops bit is set to zero:
Code:
ship_defs = {{'Eagle Long Range Fighter', { 25*10^5,-62*10^5,15*10^5,-15*10^5,-1*15^5,1*15^5 },3*10^6,{{ v(0,-.7,-40), v(0,0,-1) },{ v(0,-.7,25), v(0,0,1) },},{ 20, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1 }, // <-- that zero specifies whether fuelscoops are allowed20, 5, 3800000, 1}}
Once again, looking up the developer wiki saves the day.Time for a recompile

RE: Fuel Scoops
so that was a small bug g cool
RE: Fuel Scoops
Those settings are set by whoever made the ship originally, so in this case it was Potsmoke66 that created the Eagles. It was perhaps just a gameplay decision to not allow the eagles to have a fuel scoop. The MkIV is the only Eagle that comes with a fuel scoop ability so I wouldn't call that a bug but rather a decision made by the model creator.
