take the station drones that explode when they get near you, shrink them (like you did with the mini-bus) change the damn colors, then add in alvalon explosion. take say.. A sunflare lancher. put the drone as the ammo it fires. copy&paste drone info, take one of them, change the bot coding so the just fly in a line and explode at whatever range you feel like, at avalons strangth.

gah. reply please guys. >.<
</me knows he isn't liked much>

I'm (very nearly) SURE that wouldn't work. There are different resources for weapons and ships, and actual targeting of shots is much more complicated than just that. It will probably require a rewrite of at least some of the weapons subsystem...

Ever tried to mod a game besides EV: Nova?

...yeah. If you haven't, then nevermind.

The holdup in the return of the Avalon torpedo isn't in the technicality of making it targettable. It isn't back yet because it won't have a role (and will therefore be a nuisance) until the cap ships are fully integrated. There will then be some tweaking of the torpedo and probably of the cap ship weapons so that the ship can defend itself to some degree.

aye FM, I just loooove avalons...
