I've no idea how they got into almost capturing that Comet Breaker, but if I were them, I'd remove that fuse that detonates it 650 meters. Nuclear rockets detonating in the atmopshere isn't good either...EMP and all that. Like Black Wolf, I wished that FS1 techroom stuff wasn't canon, but...it's set in stone.

[Darius]

Also kind of a hassle using FS2 weapons in atmospheric battles and having to have it behave differently.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Well, even if they behave differently, there won't be much of a difference unless the objects are torpedoes, right?

[-Norbert-]

Gravity and aerodynamic restistance in case of any missile and projectile. Physical reactions and more heat loss for plasma weapons. Possible refraction by higher particle density for lasers. And probably a lot more I don't know about.

Also shockwaves propagate better in the atmosphere, making them much more of a threat.

So yes, atmosphere is going to have a pretty big impact on almost (if not every) aspect of a battle.

[Pred the Penguin]

You guys are supposing that planets won't have planetary defense of any sort. There will also be the mandatory fighters that even backwater planets will probably have.

Edit: Ah whatever... I'm speculating as well.

[Destiny]

I think it can be inferred that fifth generation air superiority fighters like the F-22 Raptor and the PAK-FA will triumph against the fighters of today (23xx). Seriously though, I think that any military will make sure to have a terrestrial arm, like aircraft carriers and fighter jets. I'm willing to bet UEF fighters, however atmospheric flight-capable they are, cannot compete against a true fighter jet deployed by the UEF Air Force.











...that is, if it even exists.

It's not just FS1 that has a couple bad eggs like that, you know. FS2 has plenty more (which are probably worse) such as Argon only being in Sol aside from the nebula or that godawfully unlikely material the Deimos is made out of.

Isn't bloom a setting in the launcher?

[Commander Zane]

Enable Post Processing, yes.

[Qent]

So Destiny should just add the options -post_process and -bloom_intensity <something bigger than 75>?

[Fury]

Uh, the red flash is NOT a post-processing effect. It's an effect like any other explosion or shockwave effect, having post processing enabled or not doesn't make a difference whether it appears or not.

[Commander Zane]

So Destiny should just add the options -post_process and -bloom_intensity <something bigger than 75>?

The Post Processing bit isn't needed on the custom flags tab anymore, it's on the graphics settings.
But also what Fury said.

[Destiny]

Hmm...well, personally I don't think it matters too much anymore. Enjoy what already comes out of the factory.

[Qent]

Now that you got what you asked for you don't care anymore?

[Buckshee Rounds]

Act 3 beta FREDding should be done as soon as AXEM

(we're just waiting on his m21, more or less)

M21? Just how many missions is this bad boy gonna be packing? Did Axem just start working with WiH from R2? I can't imagine how awesome R2 is gonna be with Vassago's Dirge talent on hand.

[General Battuta]

Well the numbering picks up where R1 left off, so the first mission of Act 3 is m17. But missions aren't always developed in linear order.

I am free to disclose that Act 3 contains eight missions, one of which is a special sort which you will visit repeatedly.

[Darius]

Battuta means mission 22. Act 3 sort of...expanded a bit from what was originally planned.

[General Battuta]

**** you're right, m22.

The total count should still be correct though.

[Destiny]

Now that you got what you asked for you don't care anymore?

I'm afraid of messing with settings I'm not familiar with, hahaha.


This is how the story goes: One day, I was playing with FRED. I didn't really know what the special EXP stuff meant, so I set it to 25k each. So somehow I blew up a Colossus while I was sitting 10klicks away. So I watched, a blue light. Slowly expanding. It...got closer. I was wondering where it was going. A few seconds later, it got larger. And suddenly, WHAM! I was sent flying at 200m/s before exploding.


Destiny was killed by a shockwave of the GTVA Colossus
