DW could do that but I think your governing body is a bit behind the times. Do they not realise that a lot of your cadets have probably been playing Doom, Quake or Half-Life for some time with its gore.

I can't see how the big problem with a 12 year old sinking subs and ships. At twelve I was shooting down WWI fighters over the western front in Red Baron. I'd use DW and give them some ASW search missions. You could do it like a friendly exercise where the goal is to search and track a sub for X period of time. You can set it so the "enemy" sub wouldn't fire back either by making it a neutral with peace time ROE for good measure.

Yet another example of politically correct BS.

Unfortuntate that it pervades the entire globe.

That's not to say I don't understand your predicament and certainly empthasize with you. On this day of US National remembrance I would like to say that the entire civilized world better wake up and smell the coffee.

Just answer the man's question or don't comment.

IIRC (but I've never tried it) its might be possible to disable the weapons systems on any platform by deleting the launcher system from the game using DWEdit. (Its a database editor found on SubGuru's website for editing and tweaking platform stats.)

Give it a try and see what happens.

:hmm: aside from the fact that was already suggested for enemy ships ...
maybe i misunderstand,
is a player ship set to peace roe absolutely prevented from using weps ?
i thought not.
am i mistaken ? :hmm:

he wants ensure the players cannot fire weps.
so his students go do multistation search and rescue type missions
as well as missions searching for fishing boats and yachts. (unarmed neutrals so roe irrelevant)
there is no mention of enemy combatants. (they could be neutral also)

i think a script would be simpler to disable the FFG weps then editing the dbase
and was surprised it was overlooked.

As stated elsewhere, the weapons systems can be marked as damaged by the scenario. Another possibility is that the multiplayer host of a multistation game, an adult supervisor or such, can hog those stations and not use them.

Oh, and... we too would like to try whatever missions you come up with. We'll gladly help you should you get stuck in their making.
