Here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11274&p=101801#p101797
I suppose I should choose 4-8-6-6, which rules I should tune?
General: Combat Rounds: 4

Balance:
  • Ship Structure Scaling: 8
  • Ship Weapon Damage Scaling: 6
  • Fighter Damage Scaling: 6

Morning all, I can't d/l b4f9ea1 from SourceForge, the svwh server appears to be down and it's not offering me any other mirrors. I will turn as soon as I can download it. If anyone knows of another link, or can temporarily host it for me, please say.

On a different topic, where are we at with combat bouts and damage scaling. Are weapons and fighters really 6x as powerful as they were, and ship hulls 8x stronger? So a small hull has 40 structure not 5, and mass drivers do 18-24-30-36 damage?

Is there any more additional complexity than that? Do we have ship ranges yet? What's this about stealthed ships being hit in the fourth bout? Last time I played stealthed ships got one free attack and then got hit in the second and third bouts - has that changed? Is AGGRESSIVE_SHIPS_VISIBLE still a thing, and is it FALSE?

Yes. It all cancels out, and a one-on-one combat will always have the same results for both 3-bout without scaling and 4-bout with the scaling.

No ship ranges yet.
What's this about stealthed ships being hit in the fourth bout?
I don't know where did you get that from. Stealth ships are hit from bout 2 and onwards, that hasn't changed.
Is AGGRESSIVE_SHIPS_VISIBLE still a thing, and is it FALSE?
Yes and yes. That is, aggressive ships with more stealth than enemy's detection are undetected and can't be targetted on bout 1.

Thank you, all good on the config. Unfortunately that link is still timing out for me (it's the one I have been using).

WTF... it's working for me, when I posted it and now.

Oh dear. I can connect and get my OTP but when I put it in I get a black window forever. No crash, nothing.

Sorted. My server rebooted the other week and the ipv6 MTU got reset to 1500 instead of 1280, so ipv6 wasn't working properly. All sorted, sorry for the delay.
