There are externally carried missiles, including some that are carried in bays which open up gorgeously when the missile is selected, but the Uhlan does not have them - just underwing missile pods.

Sweet If I wasn't already, I'd become a fan of BP right now.

Do the sledgehammers have unique models? I frowned when I downloaded the federal fighter pack and there was no sledge or Thor cannon.

[Commander Zane]

They all have unique models.
And the Federal Fighter Packs are still...incomplete in some areas.

[Colonol Dekker]

Yeah I realised about nine months ago.

[Snail]

Why is the GTVA using one?

Simple answer: Because they work.

Actually, it doesn't make much sense, come to think of it.

UEF fighters have modular hulls, or whatever they're called, which allows support ships to repair their main hull strength. I doubt a 50 year old design (by now) would be able to do this without extensive modifications.

[Fury]

UEF support ship is not in-game due to model issues. They will eventually have one however. Since it is just a visual change, it has not been high in priority list.

[General Battuta]

Yeah, we had a UEF support ship (the Aranyaka), but it caused the game to crash occasionally.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Got a screenshot of it? I'm curious to know how it looks like.

I sort of figured they couldn't get funding for a new support ship design in the political climate produced by Ubuntu, so the Centaur had to soldier on.

Androgeos: it was the Beksup from Taristin's Skelkwank ships (minus the alien-looking glows)

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Reminds me of the Hygeia. Stick to the Centaur.

[NGTM-1R]

That makes some unfortunate sense, as all of his ships from that collection and the Losna had a crash-inducing bug as originally released. Ransom figured out how to get the Losna to work for Transcend, though, you might want to consult him on it.

[Dragon]

Losna?
Only Kelpie made apperance in Transcend.

[NGTM-1R]

Losna?
Only Kelpie made apperance in Transcend.

So I'm confused! It's still true, I remember Ransom mentioning that the thingie (haha now you can't do that anymore) had problems which delayed the release significantly.

[Commander Zane]

Since that Bek'Tah Support Ship is there I'm going to add the Interceptor and Bomber look epic too.

Zacam got access to Blue Planet SVN to debug an issue HerraTohtori was experiencing. When Zacam got around to play a mission HerraTohtori had reported issues with, this is what Zacam had to say.

<Zacam-Away>: Oh, and btw....that was BALLS INSANE! Jesus. I need a cig after that.
<Zacam-Away>: Freespace dog fights are like 2 lame house dogs yapping at each other. Fur-ball in BP2-04 is like two lean but well fed junk-yard dogs looking for blood.

This should further motivate the team to push WiH forward.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

There's a mission called "Fur-ball" in WiH?

[Fury]

* Fury headdesks

No, furball is another term for dogfight.

[Woolie Wool]

Basically, imagine two dogs fighting, chasing each other's tails--this is the metaphor behind an aircraft battle. Now, imagine a whole bunch of dogs all fighting each other and running around ridiculously fast, so all you see is a blur that looks like a giant ball of fur. That is a furball.

A furball is a large, chaotic melee involving many fighter aircraft.

[Dilmah G]

Or bombers, if you're feeling confident.
