This shot is making me think of the Prometheus cannon.

Am I the only one who thinks that having two different Proms (or three, if the PromR is still in R2) that behave exactly (or nearly) the same is more "realistic"? Sure, maybe the two Proms are nearly identical performance-wise, but perhaps the mounting points on the EA variants are specific to the EA ships and vice versa? Can't use an EA Prom on a GTVA fighter?

Or does the EA improve their Prom, while the GTVA sticks to the "tried and true" theorem and stuff... but I can't imagine the EA giving it a whole new name altogether, since the Prom is pretty much a proven weapon with every side (bar the Shivans). The most is maybe they'd keep the Prom name, and give it a "MkII" or an "Adv" tag. Like in R1, maybe EA gets PromO and Prom Adv, but GTVA side bears with PromR's and PromSes?

"EAW-xxx Advanced Prometheus" and "GTW-xxx Prometheus S", or stuff... bleh... I hope I'm making sense with the post...

The little confusing bits all caused by the Sol-Delta Sepentis node getting sealed off for several decades...

The EA doesn't use any 'Prometheus' cannons in INF SCP, only the GTVA Terrans do.

[Snail]

They use something similar to the Prometheus, but it's called a different name, which slips my mind...

[asyikarea51]

Well, if the Prometheus is that recognised a weapon, I really can't imagine the EA replacing it completely. Kinda why I thought about it.

What weapon's that? Vengeance?

Then you have to make combustion in space work. Another rule broken.

Not really.  For combustion you just need heat, fuel, and oxygen... and I'm sure you'd agree there's plenty of oxygen on board any craft carrying Terran or Vasudan ppl.  There's plenty of heat from the damaged reactor going supercritical.  And, there's fuel from the matierals & weapons onboard, plus the nuclear fuel used in the reactors... although I'm not sure how that would work as it would depend on the type of reactor used.  And, actually, I think just about anything will "explode" if you throw enough energy at it... the super-rapid expansion, or something like that, I'm not sure.

I'm nitpickin' now, but do Sentry Guns have oxygen in them? Even if they did, there wouldn't be a lot of it, so the explosion would be comparably small. Inferno explosions are probably more realistic in the way that they're simple spouts of atmosphere with a puff of combustion, but I don't think they're as good to cover up ships exploding since sometimes you can see a clear split from 'hull' and 'space' expanding from the middle (you know what I mean).

Heh, Sentry Guns would have of stored energy in them... some sort of reactor, I would think... so just that would probably account for an explosion: the Sentry Gun is all of a sudden ~500,000 degrees or whatever.

[Snail]

On the topic of sentry guns, can we have a shot of the Vasudan one in Inferno?

[Woomeister]

Wow you had old destroyer battle shots but don't have one of the Vasudan sentry gun

It looks similar to the FS2 one.

[Snail]

You fail to realise that I don't know all of what I'm posting.

[Woomeister]

How's this?

No it won't animate

[Dark Hunter]

Awesome, new main hall! 

Hey, Woomeister, have you seen the Music Project that NIx is working on? People there seem to agree that "fs2betamainhall.ogg" would fit Inferno (and maybe INF:A) very well, and I tend to agree. In case you haven't seen it, here's a link.

[Col. Fishguts]

Ooh, nice.

Minor complaint: The planets on the solar system map are stretched

[Colonol Dekker]

What formats that in? cos you can render portions of a view to movie in TS

[Woomeister]

It's in PZZ format

If I did animate it it would be over 100mb of anis so I'm not doing that.

[Snail]

Is that INFA or INFA2?

[Woomeister]

INFA and INFA2

[Snail]

It would be cool if there was Mars among the stars at the background...

[Woomeister]

It wouldn't be generic enough if it was

[Tyrian]

I like the main hall.  Looks like it fits the style of the EA very well.  I assume that's an EA main hall... 

[Woomeister]

No it's a Mars and/or Earth mainhall. The EA doesn't use the Callisto.

Mainhall should fully work now for both standard resolutions.
