Title: Question regarding ships appearing in yards
Post by: KAT Chuut-Ritt on September 06, 2004, 04:11:52 am
Can certain shis be made to appear more often than others of the same hull type.

Was just thinking that if for example a BCF is prefered over a BCJ can it be made to appear more often without taking the BCJ out of the yard?

This way the ship generally prefered by players would be more frequently available for purchase, while still aloowing the others to appear for those wierdos who liked the other.

An alternative if this isn't possible might be to allow the same ship to be put in the list twice say a BCF1 and a BCF2 so that they would have a chance of appearing more frequently.  Could also be used by server admins to make a ship less likely to appear if that was their desire by making a similar ship duplicated to take up more production slots.

Just an idea.

No.

But good idea.

Spam is the hardest part of an FS derived dyna list. Figuring that out may change my No.

How, exactly, are the ships actually produced?

Is it a variant of the ship-class selection method?  IE: roll against a percentile chance for the first ship, if it passes, good, otherwise, move down to the next ship etc., or is it a straight random selection...

And if it does use the check ship 1 then move to the next ship pattern, what order are the ships loaded up in, and what governs the percentile chance a given boat is built...
