What space sim would be complete without a piece of **** freighter that can't properly defend itself?

Maybe it was a field of fire issue, or maybe it was the fact the Bonnie Heather was actually invincible, but I always dreaded defending a Clysdale much more than a Free Trader.

I think you might have been thinking of the Drayman.

The Bonnie Heather was in fact invincible, but it was a very heavily modified Free Trader commanded by a main character. A stock Free Trader is just target practice.

Just thought a random Raynor Vs. Titan brawl would look awesome.
Suprisingly the Raynor reached 0 hull about a quarter-second before the Titan.

Try the Titan's head-on beam barrage.

The Raynor has...fairly terrible firing arcs, kinda hard for it to actually open a full broadisde.
Plus the fact that the AI doesn't like to use all the beams even with Max Turret Target Ownage set to 255...

Why's that?

[Droid803]

No clue. They just...don't.
On different run-throughs it'd pick different turrets to use, clearly over the capped amount but still not all of them :/
Might be the random re-fire delay.

But broadside attacks are so much cooler!

@Commander Zane
Awesome Screens.
What lighning seetings do you use, looks very cool, with cool weapons effects but not overloaded?

Mav

[Commander Zane]

-no_emissive_light -ambient_factor 35 -ogl_spec 20 -spec_exp 15 -spec_point 1.2 -spec_static 1.5 -spec_tube 1.5
Don't enter a bloom intensity if you use Post Processing and it will use the default bloom number.

We need more screens! Maybe Woolie Wool can post new Awesomeness from Wings

[Woolie Wool]

You're out of luck as far as new Wings screenshots, but I've got this:



Oh yeah, and for all the people calling these screenshots "WCS", this is just a mod for WCS Prologue, not WCS itself. This is no more "WCS" than Twist of Fate or Wings are FreeSpace 2.

[Commander Zane]

WEWT, looks like I'm the first to post Vassago's Dirge screens.


I think this was my favorite mission of all, just look at the Lilith get shafted.


Dogfights can be extremely aggressive with the enemy fighter behavior.


Those little specks, are allies.



Oops, a miss.


IMMA FIRIN' MAH LAZOR!


The Sathanas has nothing on this attack.


If you let this happen to yourself, and end up getting killed...slap your face.



Offnote, this is what happens when you give a Raynor nothing but TerSlashBlues with the beam pierce effect...


GREAT. BALLS. OF FIRE.

[Snail]

Nice one.

[Fury]

I'm glad all those effects were reworked for BP2 and subsequently for next mediavps. That looks somewhat ugly.

ugly isn't the right word ..... maybe overloaded .....

For a space-sim definitively too much fire.

[Turambar]

I could use some nice FS2-based screenshots to use as my new desktop background for my workstation at EPIC GAMES. 

[Fury]

This is what I use as wallpaper at the moment.

[Turambar]

Im trying to get some high-poly ships, new effects, and pretty backgrounds (with no blur/glow/bloom shaders) from original FS2.  That is pretty though.

Um, where is that beam firing from on the Ravana?  I admit that its been a while since I booted up FSO (a REAL looooong time), but I don't recall there being a turret in the Ravana's "mouth", and I wasn't aware of any such additions to the Hi-Poly version.  Did someone re-work it for said campaign?

[General Battuta]

Play Vassago's Dirge and you'll see. The answer would be a fairly major spoiler. And it's an ingenious bit of FREDding I'm not surprised you didn't figure out in a single glance (hint: the Ravana model was not altered at all.)
