Welcome to the HeavyMetalPro Forums

Anyone have a good hack for typing these weapons in?

I have made a few attempts. I think I have two sets, one for warships and another for DropShips. I will do a design tomorrow when I finish work.

I enter them in as cap weapons. *shrugs*

I was going to put all the weapons I have on one warship but things started to go wrong. For some reason all the PPCs and lasers were given Artemis IV and I was informed that they did not have enough ammo I checked on some designs I did last week and all the custom weapons had lost their ammo. Shutting down HMAero and re-starting put everything back to normal

The Sub-Cap missiles should work ok on warships and DropShips, though the Stingray and Manta Ray have some rounding issues with the ammo weight.

There are two sets of Sub-Cap lasers, one for warships and another for DropShips (SCL/1-DS* These are standard scale lasers but really heavy and you need to remember to adjust the number of gunners)

There are two sets of Sub-Cap Cannons, one for warships and another for DropShips (Light SCC-DS* These are Capital missiles which works ok when you print a record sheet. the only problem is with the Light SSC-DS*, its ammo is double weight)

Yeah, tanks.

But you say one ammo weight came out funny? And something about gunner head count? Not the worst problem in the world . . .

Is there anything I need to know about printing the ranges out? Or, I guess, the damage diagram? (I'm guessing there'll be no help for it . . .)

The Sub-Cap lasers for DropShips will not show the correct ranges on the radar diagram and they will be listed with the standard weapons on the record sheet, the other weapons should be ok.

Maybe the Sub-Cap lasers for DropShips could be done with capital missiles to get the correct range and number of gunners

New and improved Sub-Cap lasers for DropShips. Looks odd when you are posting the TRO, but works out better with record sheets, radar diagram and gunners. If you stay with the minimum 10 rounds of ammo the mass, cost and BV1 should come out correct.

SO is no way to down load the file into HMAero??

If I understand the question: What you do is download these files, and put them in a subdirectory you can find from within HMA. Fire up HMA, and navigate to these files. When you have one loaded up, go into the Add/ Change Weapons Window. Highlight the weapons in question, and push the Absorb button, down near the bottom-middle of the screen.

Repeat as necessary …
