A12 EXP: Do weapons on CVs only work in space now?

[SpeV|BJHook]

Hi everyone,

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong, but here's the problem:

My CVs do not accept any weapons which work planetside, with the exception of small point defences. Projectile guns cannot be placed at all, and rocket launchers and more advanced turrets report that they cannot work on the planet.

Is this a bug or a deliberate decision?

As long as i can remember the only CV turrets that work on planet are projectile (cannon and minigun turrets) as well as sentry turrets. No other CV turrets work outside of space, rocket or otherwise

Edit:on a side note, has it been unlocked in the tech tree? are you over a CPU limit or something the server imposed?

[rphillips1986]

Regardless of where they work (planet or space) you should be able to place them on the ship. Is there a chance you are trying to place a BA turret on the CV? That won't work. Shields on will prevent placement of things but it sounds like other turret types can be placed. To the best of my knowlage projectile turrets still work on planet.

Yellow dotted ones only. Of course, that whole mechanic is hopelessly silly, but that's the way this game is. It's a love/hate thing.

You may also have the limit for a specific type.

Yes, I unlocked the projectile turrets. Yet I could not install them on the CV - which I could in previous versions.

It's always been like that. However, you can set CV weapons to fire on planets now via itemsconfig.ecf

Well, in previous versions, I could - without altering the config files - install projectile cannons on my CVs and use them on planets. I've done it several times.

Cannons and miniguns were always enabled for space and planet playfields. They still are.

Yes, yet I cannot even place them. And yes, I chose the CV version and not the base version. Strange...

Did anyone place a projectile cannon on a CV, which also worked planetside - in A12 experimental?

Yep I have, I took over the CV wreckage in orbit and slaped 2 Multigun turrets on it no problem on my side.

Okay, thanks for the info! Yet it seems to me that the ones I produced, although selecting CV-ones, do not want to be installed on a CV. Maybe it's a bug which will be fixed during the experimental phase.

Sounds like a bug to me
