Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
Frankly, I don't think the Falcon should have direct turret control, but rather a convenient way to give orders to the gunners. Meaning, for example, that you could target something and tell the upper gunner to attack it, then target something else and tell the lower gunner to attack that, or lock the turrets into the "front" position and use them as regular primary weapons, etc.

The turrets only rotate some 180 degrees or less horizontally, so player control would likely end up being pretty frustrating when the AI just wouldn't fly the ship so that you could shoot at what you really want to. IMO the turrets would be much better suited to be AI-controller turrets you can give orders to and having the player's role be flying in a way which allows the gunners to take their shots.

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
Kinda like how flying Capships in other FS mods? Sounds good to me. So we will actually get to fly the Falcon in the campaign?

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
In the campaign? No plans for that yet, but if it gets into the game, I will FRED a mission where you fly a YT-1300, which may or may not be the Falcon.

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
Is it just me or does the Falcon's cockpit look really flimsy from that angle? Never notice that before...

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
Might just be because of the unfamiliar camera angle.  The Falcon was almost always photographed from a low 3/4ish angle

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
Is it going to have that hidden turret that can pop out and blitz stormtroopers?

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
Hmm, doubtful.  It's only ever used in that one scene, suggesting it's either too weak to be of any use in a space battle, or there's some functional reason it can't be deployed in space, maybe it's not sealed for use in a vacuum?

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
My bet is it's an anti-personnel blaster... however, it'd come in handy if (in the waaay distant future) you had ground missions etc.  IIRC Goober was slowly working on rudimentary support for some of that stuff.  Or I'm going crazy.  :lol:

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
It's a beauty :-)

A question: Will the standard YT-1300 have one or two quad laster turrets? IIRC the 1300 in XWA had only one turret and the Falcon (and also the YT-2000) had two turrets.

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
As far as I know, the original YT-1300 had only the top mounted gun, and it was of a different make, smaller and double barreled instead of quad.

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
Okay here we go, texture is done except for the dirt, which will be coming next, but here's what the Falcon would look like if Solo ever washed her and patched up the holes!
