Question about Slide
Flashblade:
Hi there, kinda confused because I thought I had allready registered in this forum. Oh well doesn't really matter.
What I would like to ask is if it is possible to increase the power of the slide? As it is now I see hardly any reason to use it. It is hardly noticible thrustwise if you fly full throttle and it takes ages to kick in, both things I would like to change. While the glide feature is kinda nice, it doesn't have anything to do with how a Starfury should work. What I really would like to see would be the possibility to completely change the direction of thrust. After all a Starfury should be able to fly backwards as fast as it flies forward. Maybe not exactly as fast up and down and to the sides since those thrusters are smaller, but they should be alot more powerful than they are now.
Whoops started rambling off a new idea. Well the question stands, thanks for answering
Vidmaster:
that was discussed plenty of times before. Above all else, there is one major argument against it:
It would make the game very very easy, since the AI can't really react that well to sliding. All you would have to do is flying a constant circle to avoid getting hit.
Additonally, I wouldn't call the current setting useless, in fact it's key to victory in the thougher campaigns.
Dragon:
I think that slide handling by AI should be improved, as it wouldn't break retail and will open a lot of new possibilities.
FUBAR-BDHR:
I was actually considering making an alternate ai_profile with some of the new glide functions. It wouldn't change any of the old missions but would allow new ones to have the option for improved glide and AI use of glide. As for slide that would require a change that would effect existing missions so no chance on that one unless you want to make your own mod and run it.
Flashblade:
How is the 20 slide in each direction after a delay of 3 secs mission critical? I don't see any reason to use this or are you refering to glide? If it is the latter I never said it is useless. I said glide has nothing to do with how a Starfury should handle. As for complete thrust control making missions to easy, has anybody tried this or is it just a guess that it would become to easy?
In a way this is besides the point though. Let me state my question more precisely. If I would want the slide to be lets say 30 less then what is max thrust on the fury (without AB) and for it to take effect faster, where would I have to edit that if it can be edited by myself? I never asked for a global change in the first place. ;)
