Death by beamspam via Lindos.

[Mobius]

What's wrong with that pic, anyway? We have seen more beamspam in Bearbaiting.

[Jessnec]

rays in the beamglow look bad, try making them smaller... it might help.
subspace weapon seems ok.

thank you, I will give a check   

[Trivial Psychic]

I'm not a fan of the rays at all, but if it were more like split-second energy arcing it could look cool.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

JAD is still the master of beam spams, though.

Well crap.

[BrotherBryon]

Finished UV mapping Moonred's Jotun and figured I would post a quick render of it while I was at it.

[blowfish]

Cool.  Are the bomb bays actually going to rotate out, now that it's supported by FSO?

[BrotherBryon]

Unlikely, I would have to completely remodel the support struts to the bomb bays in order to attempt it and we just don't have the time.

I once tried to get Talon to map the HTL Ursa textures to the HTL Jotun model but the result was so fugly that the project was quickly abandoned.

[mr.WHO]

Dunno about other people, but for me the old Jotun looked more serious and solid than this one. Of course this one is HTL, but still it looks too fragile for a super bomber of doom.

[MatthTheGeek]

Well, bombers ARE fragile. They're huge flying bricks with targets painted on their hull, waiting for a random interceptor to smash em to pieces. What did you expect ?

[Mobius]

Bombers are fragile, superbombers are not. For example the Zelos is a potential nightmare to counter in INFASA, and the Jotun isn't exactly what you'd define an easy prey.

[mr.WHO]

Zelos? who's bomber is that? EA?

[Woomeister]

It's INFAs answer to the Jotun, it's larger than the Ursa.

[Woolie Wool]

Bombers are fragile, superbombers are not. For example the Zelos is a potential nightmare to counter in INFASA, and the Jotun isn't exactly what you'd define an easy prey.

Unless it's got AAA beams or something similarly silly, it's not going to be that much of a threat. With the mobility advantage of a light fighter you essentially have total control over the fight with a heavy bomber and can pick and choose the optimal approach and engage/disengage at will.

GTTB Armageddon, anyone?

Maybe Zelos has a multiple stinger turrets for self defence?
Wait...is it possible to have missile turrets on fighters/bombers? I never saw them in any mods, but if posssible this would be quite interesting.

[MatthTheGeek]

I remember a user-made bomber which torpedoes were supposed to be launched by the copilot, which means they were turrets.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Speaking of co-pilots, can they be placed as subsystems on a ship, linked to the function of individual turret subsystems?

[Rampage]

The Holler is a bomber with destroyable missile pods that acted independently of main weapons control.
