More optimization!
It’s Saturday morning, cats outside woke me up at 0615, everyone else is in bed. Time for some CC2 modding. In my previous posts about profiling and CPU usage I made use of a primitive call timer. I’d forgotten at the time that I’d hacked up a basic call count profiler from lua.org examples The…

Electronic Warfare 2
EW is coming to CC2 in Rev:1.5. I’ve already posted about the impact EW might have on sensors at Electronic Warfare. This time I’ll talk about how you equip the EW pod option and what trade-offs you have to consider. Because of the nature of the EW devices, that they are created by stripping down…

Lua CPU in Rev:1.4/1.5

Rev 1.5 Beta News
Hello all, I have continued to work on the next release of Revolution. There are a few new things and some less obvious changes. As is the “Revolution” theme, I wanted to make incremental changes every release. Think of it like the necessity of war driving innovation. In the first few Trickys matches of 2025…

Rev Tweaks
I’ve been adding some fun mini tweaks to Revolution and Tacops the last few days. Relax The team drydock at long last has somewhere to relax and decompress once your day of ship duties has ended (or your carrier has been sunk) with the Drydock Bar & Grill. Operate I have often been confused when…
