FreeSpace Discussion / Re: Was "Capture my Target" ever useful for anything?

There are many such features; these were just the ones I remembered offhand. I don't have the bandwidth to wikify them all right now; my plate is too full of FS-related projects at the moment.

There are a few other vestigial features in the codebase, such as "crew spots" for capital ships, as well as wingmen complaining when they don't have any orders.

Wow, never heard about those before. Are you able to tell us more in details about those abandoned features or even wikify this trivia?

There was one time, I think it would have been the Sixth Wonder where there's an NTF cruiser.  I managed to disarm it, get one of the freighters or transports to go and pick it up, it went to it's warp point and jumped out with it.  I was expecting a commendation from Command for retrieving a cruiser and bringing the crew to justice.

You can imagine my disappointment when neither command nor the debriefing even mentioned it.

That's awesome.  We can put that on the list of all-time HLP achievements, along with Grey Wolf 2009 saving Capella, and Trivial Psychic destroying the Sathanas that destroyed the Colossus.

It got me wondering what the point of that option was in the command menu was.  Any captures of a ship would have to be scripted events, and the game doesn't really handle it that well anyway (if you're not sure what I mean, dock an Elysium to a Colossus and ram into the Elysium).  I can't remember ever using it, all the capture missions in both games happened without your input. 

Was it just a remnant from some older plans to have the player press the button?

It's likely one of those features where something was started but then the game design moved in a different direction.  There are a few other vestigial features in the codebase, such as "crew spots" for capital ships, as well as wingmen complaining when they don't have any orders.

Mission & Campaign Releases / Re: Flames of War - Coming of the Storm (re-release)

« Last post by TrashMan on June 23, 2025, 06:39:23 am »

I honestly put too many easter eggs to remember... hmm. The Chuck Noris bit?


I will check the explosion radius. Did I add the message to keep distance? I know I typed it, perhaps I forgot to trigger it properly? Another thing to check.
This is always a problem when I'm testing missions - I know what's coming.
