Oh yes, auto aiming is pretty cool. The interesting thing about it is that it targets subsystems as well! Very useful to destroy turrets on capital ships

Ah very useful for my siege fighters who's primary mission is to take out turrets.

[Wolfy]

hmm, so those stars are the WCS logo? ooooops

maybe you could make a way of turning auto-targeting off in the Launcher window?

[Tolwyn]

no, there will be neither -turn_auto_target_off nor -wcsaga flag in the launcher. We might tie autotargeting function to the difficulty setting though (e.g. no autotargeting at high difficulty levels).

[IceFire]

Meh, it's like cheating . I don't like it

True that! Athough....craft like the Bearcat, should you guys go and do WC4 themed missions later, almost needs the auto aim properly.  Loved that fighter (possibly my favourite...always went and got it during the optional missions) but it really needed the auto aim with the guns all the way out on the wings.

[Starman01]

Well, not really the auto aiming, but the bearcat, excalibur and some of the WC2 craft could use the laser convergence thing (did it ever made it into release state). Trying to destroy a turret with weapons mounted under the wing is nearly impossible, because the shoots go left and right of your recyticle (spell ? )

[starlord]

Hello there, I was just wondering if you would also use kilrathi static defenses in the saga campaign like that asteroid base in WC3 (no, no talk about dreadnaughts this time )

Also, what about using a kilrathi shuttle (like the WC4 model): It might be useful for quick strike or even capture operations (something never done in WC3).

Of course you do realise those are only questions and in no way I'm doing you job for you.

Just tell me what you think of this.

[Aginor]

Well, I can tell you....

....wait!, what's that??!!

NOO!!!

.... I have to go, no time to talk. Sorry!

 

[starlord]

Well that was to the point

 

[Tolwyn]

speaking of available ships: you might find this interesting.

I think it's safe to say that this already in. I have released pictures about it ages ago. Of course, the model needs some overhaul now, it doesn't even have an UV-map now. However, it was my first model with a build in hangar

And there will be many more different suprises in the game later

[Tolwyn]

Yes, I suppose there will be

Reticle

Yeah convergence would be a huge thing for some of these as well.  Otherwise the fire points have to be moved inwards.  Hope that gets sorted in the code.

[Scooby_Doo]

Well I did mention axis limited converagance  (individual x and z axis).  You can set angle limits for example X:0 Z:15 the gun can swirve left to right by 15 degrees but not up or down.  This would make sieges much better, right now my blackwidow is absolutely worthless i have to aim off to the side to be useful. 

[starlord]

Wow: great work all of you:

Speaking of Wc4 ships, do you know that some unused models like the black lance carrier are quite attractive too: would be good to see this one somewhere should you continue a WC4 conversion.

I'm also pleased you included the asteroid base, but I was referring to a kilrathi shuttle being used in saga (obviously the WC4 model) for capture missions (were we would disable such a shuttle using leechs to capture high ranking officers) or quick strike (were we would destroy such a shuttle to hamper kilrathi efforts).

I estimate chances of converting it are less than zero.

Ah, that one. Well, uh, yes, an interesting model.

[starlord]

and it could be of use in saga missions too.

[headdie]

do you have any WC1/2 era ships hanging around, most of my play time as been in this setting and the epee would be a perfect fighter under FS engine with its two chin mounted cannons

[Scooby_Doo]

The only epee I know of is the one I'm doing and that'll be about a month or so till it's done.

[starlord]

Tolwyn, scooby doo: did you recieve my PM's?
