Give us the ability to hot swap scripts while the module is still active, but don't change the bonus until it cycles. This will help people swap scripts without having to stop the module, swap the script and then start the module again, helping server performance.

Extend it to:
Sebos
TC's
Any weapon system with more than 1 tick long cycle timer (pre-select a charge to be reloaded at the end of cycle)

And we can talk.

Hint:

If you run multiple omni, stagger them, that way you can start changing your scripts earlier.

Better: fix that laggy interface that it doesn't take ages from "cycle has ended... blinks red... blinks red... blinks red... swap ammo.... didn't do anything... swap ammo again.... start cycle... does nothing.. does nothing... " to "oh, now it started again"

The last time I mentioned that to a GM, I was told that is an exclusively client side issue.

And since I upgraded my laptop it has disappeared, so as best I can tell that really is how it works.

One of ours, ten of theirs.

Best Meltdown Ever.

The reason it's 30 seconds now instead of 10 is that the server only has to check and recalculate your drones every 1/3 as often.

Being able to update your scripts in real time would require checks ever 1s, legacy code is awesome like that sometimes.

No it wouldn't. Did you read what I said? It would only change the effect when the cycle finishes, so it would only need to check every 30 seconds.
