Hack Request: Engine Performance reduction on nozzel destruction.
-
Hey,
Thought i’d come back into a little bit of freelancer modding (again), and this thought came accross my mind. What if when an engine nozzel is destroyed, engine performace is decreased by a set amount? From memory, freelancer already stops the engines from working when all nozzels are destroyed, so maybe we could get this to work.
Thanks,

Bump,just through testing i noticed that you can still strafe around with all your engines destroyed, could this be disabled aswell? Seems kind of silly if your engines are destroyed you can still strafe to the nearest base to get repaires

You prefer the unfortunate player to either stay where he ended up, or quit and delete his character?

Using this method you could let ships have an invisible nozzle (so that the engine is still working), so that you could still fly it back hame (slowly) when all regular nozzles are destroyed.
Problem: You can’t have weapons that use power…at least you shouldn’t have.
I would like to have destructable thrusters for strafing…</somevalue>

Yeah alright, i get your point about strafing. But i would still want to see engine performance decreased when a nozzel is destroyed, and i think the idea of utilising power wouldn’t work in this case since i am already using power as a key factor in other aspects (think thrusters, sheilds, armor and other items.)
I think this would be best acheived through a plugin, what do you think?
