hi :)

so what i'm going to do is have a new ship i'm working on have two identical nifs (different names of course) and when i hit mvam it swaps the nifs and hp's and gives me different colour blinking lights.

one to simulate "red alert" one for "green alert"

unless there is a better way of doing this  :idk: :help:

If you look at Submodels/F-tech and more specifically the vash...ko...something.. It's a romulan ship, you'll see. That can trigger model swaps with alert status without the need for pressing a button beyond the red alert one.

actually, i think it goes out the equivelant of a tailpipe.  that was the idea WAY back in UC (ST6).  that the only way they could track Chang was by his exhaust.  I believe that was incorporated into the latest KM?

ah i see where you are coming from but... that was impulse gasses not warp plasma gasses.

my theory was to have a "toroidal warp plasma system" which sends the warp plasma from the core to the nacelles and the waste plasma returns to the core where it joins with the new plasma and returns to the nacelles. This would have the effect of increasing warp efficiency by 38%

or

to have a "toroidal warp plasma system" which sends the warp plasma from the core to the nacelles and the waste plasma returns to the EPS systems and so bolsters EPS power availability by 38% during Warp travel.

The Kessok only appeared in BC. Thats a screenie from BC.

hi guys another idea came to me...

is it possible to add tech from a wreck to the ship you are flying

eg: you are in a space battle using the uss enterprise 1701-A and you are fighting a klingon bird of prey. the bird of prey is destroyed but its cloaking tech is left in the debris, using transporters you lock on to the cloak and transport the tech. And now the enterprise has cloaking tech.

is this possible?

heh I bet you could modify the borg tech grab "what ever it's name" script for that... but I doubt you could do it on debris... maybe on a severely damaged ship with no shields...

I think it was one of the BCS:TNG techs... though I could be wrong.

well here is something i came up with... its a equation for getting BC damage values from postulated Phaser output.

A = output in watts
B = particles of space dust per cubic meter(20)
C = phaser range in kilometres
D = radiation dilation effect(10) [this is the effective dissipation of the phaser energy by stellar radiation]

E = eradication effect on space dust(40) [this is the destruction of space dust by the phaser beam during its activation]

(A/(BxC/DxE))
Type 10 phaser output = 5.1MW
range = 300'000km

5'100'000/(20x 100'000) / 10 x 40  = 1020

so the damage for a type X phaser is 1020

You can do it this way:

or there's plugin we've got which is a hell of a lot more complex.

Hi all i need help (any sfrd team out there?)

I have a shuttle. its modeled, textured (thank you baz1701) and in nifskope its centered. but in MPE its not cenetred infact its initialy focused on the port nacelle (left)

when itry to hp the pick and get position do not work. 0.0.0 IS center of the model but i cant seem to click on the model and get a true coordinate. clicking on any part of the ship near the 000 makes it go -3, 5, 2 so way off.

i need help
