Can you change how combat is done?
In BFA you have a chance to hit and a chance to get pass armor.

Would it be possible in BFA to have Damage that gets by Armor do X points of Damage to the Model, and add chance for critical hits?

I like BFA just trying to see which will work, they are different scales, so ATG also has some nice pluses as well.

Getting my head around it is all before I start designing anything.

Thanks again,
Lee

Combat now seems to be, if it gets hit, it looks to see if it kills the unit.

Can this me changed to if it get hit it takes some damage, (based on weapon ), and if it punches through armor it takes more damage.

Also could the Damage be in the form of knocking out a system, like main guns, turning and so on.

Basically the entire model can be redone as you like, using the various stats you like.

Essentially, the entire 'game' is changable in the scripts :)

Cheers

Pip

I have bought both, and will see what I can do with them.

I really like the fact of how much is open in the game.

Thanks for your time.

Good luck with the project. Keep us posted.
