Is there a way to emulate a "shock wave" so when a warp core explodes etc...the ships close enough are whisked away by the force? (like in st:insurrection)
...or am I asking too much?

Also, why when a ship explodes the ships near it don't take any serious damage, but when you dump the warp core and shoot it....ka boom...anyone who is near is severely damaged?

By using Nano FX (better visual aspect)
, and if the power is high enough in the exploding ships HP, the near by ships will take Serious damage i

yeah but they don't move away from the explosion as if a "shock wave" hit them.
I guess that's not possible in bc...unless....hmmm....if one can create a script in Nanofx2 (similar to the nova explosion in nfx2)so that depending on the distance the ships are thrown away at variable speed (the greater the distance the less the speed) and are being flipped (turned around) until they finally stop.
Maybe something to do with "collision" but depending on the distance the speed of the ship changes...argghhh I don't know how to do it!

actually there are torps that do this with a certain mod, can't remember what that mod was, when they hit, they would modify the velocity of the craft, stop it, cause it to spin, or give it a "push" in a direction
maybe you could combine the two

Torpedoes do this by nature. Wink

You don't.

BC does this already. Wink

yeah I mean to "emulate" a torpedo (from the shock wave)...or...I don't know...
Basically how to set that the ships that the shock wave hit start moving

pretty simple...

change their acceleration or velocity to a different vector.

no, i mean there is a script out there that can add a huge amount of movement will little damage, the Jean Luc Picard class ship has torps like this
you may have to create a new script that gets called when the explosion occurs that would take the power and do some calcs that would create a velocity mod field that would be applied at the same time the shock wave hit

Oh about that yees, it's the FTA 2 mod i think, it haves the Chronoton, Poleron, Repulsion and Hyperion torpedos, the readme says the Repulsion repels a ship violently.
