Ooh, squeaky.

And since when was the creator of the Amaterasu (i.e. esarai) a member of BP?

Has the Sath been HTL'd yet?

No.

A few days back.

[Commander Zane]

Thank Macross Plus for that.

What Battuta said.

[Woolie Wool]

Thank Macross Plus for that.

I really wanted a VF-1 but the only model for that is a low-poly abomination with at least 10 textures dating back to the dark ages.

[Colonol Dekker]

From Robotechlan? Yep, i've still got that somewhere, the VF1s is the best though.

My plans for this are to create a tech demo with several fighter classes and their associated weapons, plus a couple of demo missions. It probably won't become a full-blown campaign unless I can get a modeler to make more models for it (preferably enough that I don't have to reskin Macross/Robotech fighter models like I did here).

Currently I've got four playable fighters (the Tigershark and Flashman plus the EUF Sigurd and Tupolev Tu-212 "Brigand" strategic bomber), six primary weapons, two functional secondary weapons, and a dummy torpedo. Basic dogfighting is playable (yes, you can hit enemies at 400+ m/s) but I have a long way to go.

Heh, reminds me of the time me and Dysko attempted to start our own mod with aerospace-style ships (well, we were actually taking real fighter plane models). You mention 'EUF Sigurd' - are you having American, European and Russian/Soviet factions (the same as what we had thought up)?

[Woolie Wool]

Yes, as well as Japan (allied with America and Europe), a Middle Eastern faction (allied with the Russians) and a faction of space colonies (pretty much against everyone because all those colonies used to belong to somebody). China is neutral.


New menu system. There are two new ships that were added after this screenshot that I have no good pictures of, the Al-Hafiz P22 (Arab fighter) and the Han-Ronald Shrike (colonist fighter). The "F-16 Vindicator" is just a dummy ship placed in the root FS2 directory, so it appears at the end of tech room listings. If it's there, I know I haven't exceeded the ship limit.

And when the tech description says "threaten capital ships", it means "shoot turrets off of". Even the heaviest fighter cannons will only be able to damage capship turrets and regular fighter weapons will do nothing to them. Only torpedoes can really deliver the hurt against capships.

good concept, I like it.

[Titan]

Hopefully capships would be few and far between? So anytime a capship is in a mission, it truly is a big deal, instead of the 'Oh, another capship. Oi, bring out the bombers again *sigh*' mentality in the FS universe.

Lvlshot FTW. And do I detect usage of Flaming_Swords' Contemplates?  Me likey.

The first time I saw it, I felt my mouth watering.

The second time I saw it, I felt as if I was viewing it in a real desert.

That's how it should be.

Just don't make them appear everywhere like they do in FS2.

Cool, back to my posts being ignored.

Yes, they will be. One or two destroyer-class ships plus a few dozen smaller ones per nation.

Cool, back to my posts being ignored.

You know, I don't spend every minute of every day watching this thread.

Glad you like it. I wanted something other than a space theme to the menu to emphasize the "aero" in aerospace combat, and the Arab Coalition is one of the primary antagonists, thus a desert theme.

Uh.... what?

Much want.
