Plugin Manager Help - Ship Creator - Rebalance Ship

Using the ship creator, you can rebalance the ships settings via balance profiles. To balance a ship, load or create it in the ship creator, then select the "Balance Ship" option to open the balance dialog.

There settings Include:

• Speed: This is the ships speed, and controls the minimum speed of the ship and the number of tunning to add
• Manurability: This is for the turning of the ship, changes the Yaw, Pitch and Roll. The Yaw is always set slightly higher than the Roll and Pitch.
• Acceleration: This controls the acceleration and deceleration of the ship.
• Reactor Output: Controls the level for the Reactor Output.
• Weapons: Controls the amount of weapon energy the ship has.
• Recharge Rate: This controls the rate the weapon energy is recharged
• Cargo Space: This contols the amount of cargo space avaialble in the ship, both before and after upgrades.
• Shields: This controls the size and amount of shields the ship can mount.
• Hull Strength: This is the hull amount the ship has.

To Adjust each area, just move the slider, moving to the left decreses, and to the right increases. To the right of the slider you will find the amount commpared to the average in the balance profile.

At the bottom in the center, you will see the overall average amount, ships should be balanced to 100.

Auto Balance:

When auto balance is enabled it will automatically move all the sliders to kepe the ship in balance. So if you increase one of them, it will decrease others to keep the average around 100. If you want to have a ship with more or less than 100, then you have to disable auto balance first.

The "Balance Ship" button at the bottom does the same, but only when you click on it. So each time you click it will move the sliders to make the ship an average of 100.

• Equal Balance: When balancing the ship, it will move all sliders equally until the average is 100
• Lowest First: This will always move the lowest slider first, so the lowest slider will be the only one that changes until it reaches the minimum, then the next lowest is used, etc.
• Highest First: This is like lowest first, but will move the highest value slider first instead of the lowest.

NOTE: The Shields slider will not be moved at all when using Auto Balance, so you should set this first to what you want before balancing the ship.

Set Average:

This simply sets all sliders to the middle point, of average for each value. IE all values will be at 100%

Details:

Clicking on the details button will open or close the details options.

This displays the exact stats that the ship has been balanaced too so you can view values rather than jsut the sliders.

The exact stats that the sliders represent depends on the ship class and balanace profile that is used for the balanace. If more than 1 profile is available, then you will have to select it at the beginning.

Finally:

Clicking on the Done button when you've finished will save the new ship stats.

Clicking on the cancel will disregared all changes made in the balance.
