hahaha, nice April 01 joke HLP 

[Woomeister]

Uh we'll decide that once we get chapter 2 done.

[CaptJosh]

No kidding. I have a blast flying that sucker.

[Woomeister]

Well I fix things when they need fixing.

[Kosh]

Got any updates to this thread?

[Woomeister]

Uh Sids not around right now...

[SadisticSid]

Especially since when I loaded up FS2 for the first time in ages today, I found out my venerable Sidewinder 2 had kicked the bucket. Completely dead, not even detected when I plug it in.

Any chance of a little peak at an ancient Ship

[Snail]

Woo already said that there would be no Ancient ships in this thread. 

[Woomeister]

Page 8 of the new eyecandy thread has a pic of one.

I have a question:
On the Gargant, what weapons are on the four huge prongs on the front? Those have to be HUGE cannons  . I think they should be more powerful than any turrets on the ship. There are also four smaller prongs. What are those?

Oh, and there was a render of the Gargant obliderating a GTVA/EA fleet while on its way to Sol, using ONLY its aft cannons. Can it still do that?

[Goober5000]

It can probably obliterate a GTVA/EA fleet simply by bulldozing right over them.  Kind of like a human stepping on an ant colony.

[Dark Hunter]

Somehow I think the fleet could move outta the way. Can't see a ~30 mile ship moving very fast (subspace jumping notwithstanding).


I'm also looking for a render I saw but was too stupid to save.  It showed a wireframe of Gargant next to a wireframe of the R1 Gigas, with a GTVA ship below for size comparision. Where IS that render!!!???

[Snail]

  I was looking for that render too!! But didn't it also have the Colossus?

It has no forward weapons except for a subspace one in between the arms.

[Snail]

What? But doesn't the Subspace weapon need a long time to power up? Wouldn't that leave a massive window of oppertinity to go pummel it (not that pummeling it will penetrate its armor anyway)?

[Woomeister]

The subspace weapon we use is a bit different now than the original one, ours is specially scripted using new SCP features.

[Snail]

Can the Gargant's other beam cannons reach the front, though? And does the Gargant have surface shields or just a new armor value that makes it invulnerable to everything? Oh, and how big is its fighterbay? Can you fit a Sathanas in there ?

[Woomeister]

I'm not sure, it doesn't really matter though.
Well the Gargant hasn't been updated since we started using the armour code. We don't use the surface shields feature.
It has no fighterbay since it would need about 20 of them

[Snail]

Well, something that big doesn't really need shields OR a fighterbay, does it ? What other uber ships are there? Will you still release those reskinned fighters from OTT? I REALLY liked those.
