HullMassScaleMod

Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2016

Hi modders,

does anybody know what HullMassScaleMod in ShipComponentDefs.xml means exactly?

I checked that for Lasers: HullMassScaleMod has two ValueParams, one 10 and one 0.01. I assumed the first one refers to the standard mass of a laser component for a certain hull size and the second ValueParam modifies that somehow according to hull size. But when I checked in my current game (1.9, Torians) Lasers have always a mass of 9, no matter which hull size (tiny, small medium, not more researched yet) I use. On top of that I cannot find a tech that modifies beam weapon mass so I cannot really tell whether the mass of 9 has something to do with the ValueParam 10 of HullMassScaleMod.

Can anybody shed some light on this issue?
