I think you can see I haven't actually changed any of the 'primary' lines at all, except for maybe the one running across the bottom.

When you get down to it, the Deimos really isn't a blocky ship. There are many smooth lines going on there.
Exactly.

[22:29] <sigtau> Hello, #hard-light?  I'm trying to tell a girl she looks really good for someone who doesn't exercise.  How do I word that non-offensively?

I believe Hades mentioned more greebles later as well. Hold out people XD

There really isn't even a whole ship here to judge yet.

This Deimos is looking fantastic. I have no idea what the others are so upset about.
I think I'll call REAL Mahjong 'Chinese Dominoes', just to make people think I'm an ignorant asshat.

The bottom of the Diemos was always messed up in my opinion... But now that you mention it, I remember it being very hard to get a beed on the 'chin' engine. Hopefully, what you're doing won't have an effect.

Not unless the subsystem data is changed will its 'destroyability' be different.

That's not what I meant, sorry for not being clear. I just meant it's hard to target.

This is getting better and better as it progresses. The smoothing is now looking much less wrong.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

666maslo666: Releasing a finished product is not a good thing! It is a modern fad.

SpardaSon21: it seems like you exist in a permanent state of half-joking misanthropy

Axem: when you put it like that, i sound like an insane person

OOOOhhh... now THERE's an idea, make the entire ventral engine struts the subsystem-submodel, so they blow up completely leaving a sheared off section when its destroyed.

Please don't, we'll never be able to have a believable Deimos-disabled-and-repaired mission ever.

The existing one has external damage for the engines... we've got turrets with damaged submodels... so there is at least precedent.

The issue isn't damaged submodels, the SEXP can repair the submodel - but how do you justify an entire sheared off ventral engine section popping back into life when repairs are complete?

Easily. First, the Terrans activate an electron-matter ionizer by plugging into the damaged subsystem's Mjolnir socket. Several small charging tubes are assembled and placed near the broken or missing hull. The nanites are delivered via several gerbils that go through the tubes. The nanites then canabalize the gerbils, using their atoms as the building blocks for new matter. Using several low-level atomizers combined with a few high-level ion synchronizers, matter can be rearranged into different densities and new matter can be formed. Prior to the matter being finished, it usually remains in an invisible gaseous state until the point of completion, in which the newly made matter snaps suddenly into existance. This must be countered by using several magnetron emitters, and as such they are usually fired up prior to activation sequence. The whole device fits in a pen.

It'd certainly make that Deimos-minefield mission in Derelict look even more amusing than it is now. :p

Awesome dude! :cool:

It'd still be hard to target ( at least for me ) though. Maybe I just suck at FS. :nervous:

When you say target do you mean a by-reticle aquirement (V-key) or trying to hit it within its exposed area?
