The max repeat count is 999,and it will probably crash the game.

[Snail]

Nope, I did that before.

[Mobius]

Maybe it would be effective against an entire Shivan fleet,with the beams pointed in different directions.

[Woomeister]

The REAL Icanus supercannon can destroy the Gargant in less than a minute (not counting the time it takes to explode, of course).

Code: [Select]

Fry that *****
fire-beam
Icanus
Turret01
Gargant
With a repeat count of 2348283482 and an interval time of 1.

Nope, it still loses:

I WANT THAT SHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WANT THOSE TEXTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WANT THE UPGRADED EARTH!!!!!!!
I WANT EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey there's Italy beyond the Gargant...well done Woo,in the old Earth she was covered by a white cloud.
The region where I live is covered in this screenshot...

There must be a trick,a ship of that dimensions can't resist to all those USilvs...the hitpoints are unfair...

[Woomeister]

No tricks there. I set up a 1 second delay, repeating fire beam sexp on the Icanus main turret, and beam freed both ships so the Gargant could attack as well. Icanus got it down to 89%.

[Snail]

You might have proven my theory wrong, but I managed to squeeze Gargant shots out of you! I am a genius!

[Woomeister]

Only because I wished to show them

[Mobius]

You still call it Icanus,umpf.

The Gargant seems longer than expected,wasn't it long 38 kms?

1 sec is the minimum value.The T...Icanus reduced to 30 percent in 30 secs...wow....the Gargant reduced to 94...

[Woomeister]

It's 37.8km

[Snail]

They're not gunna change the name to Terra, NO amount of crying, magic, spellcasting, running outside naked and yelling or going to Woo's house with +2 Armor of God and +6 whupass, is going to change that.

[Woomeister]

Why would I even want to call it Terra?

[Snail]

The Steadfast people are calling it that.

[Woomeister]

Well I could care less what they call it. The official name stands

[Mobius]

We don't want that you change the name of the T...Icanus.Our model is better
What does Icanus mean?It isn't a good name for the symbol of the Terran fleet.

[Woomeister]

Our model is better

Uh if it's the Icanus your using for the 'Terra' then it's the R1 Icanus, which is lower quality than the current one.

I actually have a 5000 polygon ship which would make a decent replacement for the current Icanus, it's one of Aldos, but it's a major design change and would be extremely difficult for me to texture.

[Mobius]

What does Icanus mean?Why the most powerful Terran warship has a so strange name?Wasn't it going to be renamed Apocalypse(it was maybe a torpedo)?
About "our" Icanus,the plot has changed...

[Woomeister]

No it wasn't named Apocalypse, at one point we were using the Apocalypse from Machina Terra. When we went with our own model we had to change the name as it would clash with the MT one.

Many R1 names were not chosen for their meanings. Melia is a nymph for example, and doesn't sound right for the Sol gateway. I originally wanted to call it the Gaia, but Venom wouldn't let me as he had a ship called the Gaia at that time in OTT

[Snail]

I had a crappily reskinned Gaia that looked like the Vasudan supercarrier from the FS2 concept art, it looks surprisingly similar, the mesh just had Terranish maps...

[Woomeister]

The Gaia has some mesh issues IIRC. I'll need to have a look at it someday.
