That's pretty confusing, especially considering the section name "All" never appears in an actual config file. It's just a shorthand that means there are eight sections these settings can go in, one for each ship type. Futhermore, it would be good to differentiate between settings that apply to subgame, settings that apply to asss, and settings that apply to both, before just mindlessly dumping the contents of template.sss on here. --[[Grelminar]]

I'm pretty sure that energy and speed are Energy / 1000 * hundredths of seconds and Pixels / 1000 * hundredths of seconds, respectively.

Isn't this kinda a pointless page? I mean, all this information is in Complete Settings and is dispersed in greater detail in each section's page. --Cyan~Fire

Pests: This and Complete Settings are two different things. Theres a section in the template.sss named "All" and Complete Settings has EVERY section, including this "All" section.

That's pretty confusing, especially considering the section name "All" never appears in an actual config file. It's just a shorthand that means there are eight sections these settings can go in, one for each ship type. Futhermore, it would be good to differentiate between settings that apply to subgame, settings that apply to asss, and settings that apply to both, before just mindlessly dumping the contents of template.sss on here. --grelminar

my updates

OK, I don't think I have any questions on this one. But I do have a comment.

I'm pretty sure that energy and speed are Energy / 1000 * hundredths of seconds and Pixels / 1000 * hundredths of seconds, respectively. I also made a marginally tested educated guess that weapon speed units are the same as ship speed units. I also figured that Energy / seconds / 10 is a much easier to read format (I sure don't have to think so much), although a bit less standard. Any comments/questions/suggestions/curses? --Cyan~Fire

Smong: I don't understand this: '90°/hundredths of seconds'.

I would think it would be 9°, since that is the rotation increment --D1st0rt

That was the best way I could think of defining it. Should we say "Quarter rotations per hundredths of seconds"? And it has to be 90° because everything in SubSpace is in s/100. --Cyan~Fire

Smong: How do I read '90°/hundredths of seconds'? 90/400?? 4 seconds to turn 90 degrees?

I'm not quite understanding your misunderstanding. :-S Would "90°/100s" be clearer? That is, it's going to turn 90° this many times in 100 seconds. --Cyan~Fire

Smong: I don't think 90/100 works. 400 = 1 second for a circle, (400/4)/100 = 1 second, ok. But 200 = 2 seconds and (200/4)/100 is 0.5 second?

But the answer is not in seconds, it's rotations per second. 200 = 2 rotations in 1 second, not 2 seconds. --Cyan~Fire
