You'd likely have to touch a lot of routines to do this. Besides initialization, you've got campaign code, red alerts, persistent variables, and, ummm... other stuff.

Allowing more briefing icons would be nice...... just so we can select them based on ship type (for capitals / installations), rather than having a Lucifer (i.e.) icon for a Ravana

lets see,

Ammo for primaries - working on this now
zoom function (sniper gun)
fps counter

edit:

some stuff i've changed already:

10 layered beams (instead of 5, dunno how much improvement this will make)
more than 5 shots on type 3 (AAA) beams

edit 2:
Anyone know where the support ship functions are?

hasn't anone gotten fighter beams to work yet ?!?
something simple I'd like to see, a new weapon flag, call it sparky, when a sparky weapon hits an object it aplys the arc effect for a given amoung of time with a givven color to that object,
I can almost do this myself so for thouse of you who actualy know what you are doing this shoud be a cake walk.
put in a new flag "sparky"
and two new optional strings
sparky time an int
sparky color a 3 part array for RBG
make this work for primary, secondary, and beam
would be cool if this could also be applyed to the actual weapon model or lazer bitmap (probly have to make a nonrendered primitive scaled to the lazer size)

but first fix the thing crashing when useing mod tables, and then up the limits, whe you've done this one thing here post an EXE and your sorce (mark you're changes with comments),
please

the possibility to add new species , with their own support ship and their own thruster ani and glows would be a great thing.

What sort of functions are you looking for? /code/ship/AICode.cpp might have what your looking for. (though certainly not the only place for support ship stuff)
