And ignore the damage on the Gargant, that is with a modded Punisher.

Look a few threads up ( the "Qs about Inferno" ). He said that he made the beam cannon fire extremely often with sexps.

Yeah, I took on a bet that the Icanus could kill the Gargant if you set it to fire overly often. (fire-beam with repeat count of zillion, with 1 repeat delay [seconds])

I recall there being something said about the Gargant not being able to kill (another copy of?) itself with its beams...
What was that all about?

Those beams really need their +Range: set higher.  They appear to be reaching their max of 30k.

And that ship has serious overtiling! :shaking:

When a ship reaches 45km in length, both of those are bound to happen...lol.
A beam doesn't travel the ship's length O_o.

That's not actually a Fenris, it's a GTC Escargot.

This thread is getting out of hand...

If you feel like talking about the possible role of the Gargant in Inferno, go for it...otherwise...*summons Woo*

What I want to know is:

1. Would a Gargant beat another Gargant ?
2. How many Icanus'/Gigas' would you need to take down the Gargant?
3. Why do you need an unstoppable-invincible-god-like-super-ship in a mod, when it isn't seen in the campaign ?

1) The ship has been designed to be invincible but I don't think there's a special code for it. I guess a Gargant is strong enough to face another Gargant but this situation isn't going to occur.
2) Read above.
3) It doesn't make sense. A ship can still appear in sub campaigns released with the main one.

Its for the gradual procession of larger and larger ships. After the Gigas goes down at the hands of the Icanus, something needs to take down the Icanus.

Other than that, I guess the Gargant would be awesome for one of those Death Star Trench Run type missions where you're basically dogfighting on the hull of a large ship. As in, you have to hug the hull close, or get shredded by turrets, and get to a certain area for something...(infiltration, sabotage)? It would be a nice mission, and something that doesn't seem to have been done before (in FS at least). There doesn't even need to be allied capships attacking it.

I have tried something like that in the past(with a Sathanas), the result wasn't that good.

What went wrong?
I was thinking it wouldn't work well with a Sath since it's on the small side, if you're going to be hurtling along its surface for extended periods of time.

What!? Its not that hard to add dockpoints. The paths, perhaps.
