he, why are we leaping to conclusions about B5 being in it?  he said a "working ingame [censored]"  for all we know he could mean a Sheridan Bear.

[Trivial Psychic]

As for the Whitestar, I see 2 possible ways of getting it out before Gunship AI is implimented.  1), make it a non-player-flyable ship, so its fully AI, with Bomber AI.  2), still using Bomber AI, make it player-flyable but give the forward beam turret a very narrow field of fire.  You may not be able to restrict WHEN its shooting, but you will be able to restrict WHAT its firing at.  Alpha-1 will need to be beam-freed by default for every mission where the Whitestar is a player option for flight.

Later!

[Edwin]

make it so one key will beam-free it and another will beam-lock it.  more fire-control.

Regarding the Whitestar
 
    Can't you just make the Beam primary#1 and the four Molecular Pulsars primary#2? What's the big deal?

[Fury]

Nose and wing pulse guns are different.

[Fury]

Things are progressing fairly well for a change. We still need to do a lot of work to make finishing touches to everything and test the base and missions inside out.

We may ask your help for testing, if it comes to that we will make a seperate annoucement. So no need to jump on the gun, yet.

LOD0 is complete, 4.7k polies without turrets.

[karajorma]

ummmm. Wow.

[Trivial Psychic]

I noticed that you didn't put the circle bits on the ends of the 4 stabalizers that go around the forward main "ball" section.  And you didn't put the knotch in the stabalizers for the next back segment.

Later!

The Trivial Psychic Strikes Again!

Seriously, are you using a polygon microscope or something?
Anyway, I'll let stithe to comment model related comments since he's the one modelling it.

[IPAndrews]

Truly, I bow before Trivial Psychic's superiour nit-picking abilities.

So this makes how many different versions of b5 you have made?

[morbiddreams]

I would just like to say, i admire the work that you and everyone else has done, you deserve a pat on the back.... congratulations.

I wish i had the abilty to do what you have done, so i am jealous of you guys right now LOL... but i am really proud of you.  keep up the good work... i look forward to play your R3 asap....  

Take care all, and good luck.

[karajorma]

I'm sure the B5 guys like the praise but don't be too hasty to say you couldn't do something to help.

Freespace is a pretty easy game to mod. Even if you have no talent when it comes to making ships or texturing them you might be able to write missions.

[morbiddreams]

Thanks Korajorma, but i have never done any kind of programming at all, apart fromt the basic command goto 10 or run, although i would be interested in helping you guys out in anyway possible, as i think it is a worth while cause.

Obviously its now at its R3 stage, where could i download the R3 editor and start fiddling around with it, although, by the time i have  learnt how to use the thing, you guys would be on release 10..

But if there was anyway i can help, pls let me know.

I want to do something useful for once

[Roanoke]

Wow, that B5 looks excellent. Any chance of  a B4 (in due course) ?

[Fury]

It is said that for every great model something must be sacrificed.

In other words, I think B4 disappeared throught the rift just before it was finished. So we need to make a new one.

no, you just need to go down to the planet B5 orbits, pick up a few passengers, and fly through the rift.

[-Norbert-]

What good would that do? Nobody ever came back from there.
Or rather came back from then

[karajorma]

Actually B4 did come back. In one of the comics. Unfortunately I only ever read the first half.
