The mission the first two grabs of from is an absolute scream lol

[Commander Zane]

I hated the **** out of that mission. It was a miracle I passed it on the first run.

[Dragon]

Strange, I've had no problems with it. If you aim carefully and remember your guns are just a bit to the bottom, you shouldn't have any problems with it.
Maybe it's because I have a joystick and I'm quite good with it.

[Commander Zane]

After a certain point it's only you doing all the work, and joystick or not, they have Touhou hitboxes seeing as I literally watched shots roll along the sides.
Nothing like FS bombs where you can miss to an extent and still land a hit.

[Dragon]

That's because they're actually ships, or at least the game thinks so. They're perfectly manageable if you have a steady aim, some intuition and a good joystick. You don't need AI help either. As for hitboxes, they're consistent with the actual model, unlike the "real" torpedoes, where collision detection is done using radius. Notice that you can hear "crack" as you hit them, the impact sound played for weapon-weapon collisions belongs to the impacted weapon.

I passed the mission first try using keyboard

Must...repel...WC invasion...



Resorting to reusing pictures posted elsewhere. (Not really this one has textures reflective of the released version)

[AndrewofDoom]

Oh Droid why must you yoink my pics all the time?

[esarai]

Did I see that right... there's a Solaris firing gauss rounds... from its MISSILE TUBES!?

[-Norbert-]

Looks like that gauss round comes from one of the two the lower, forward multi-part turrets to me. In BP that place is taken up by a gattler though.

[AndrewofDoom]

Don't you wish the UEF was this cool?

[Androgeos Exeunt]

They already are, because their small ships look better and their warships look almost like that.

[Dragon]

I like those fighters. Also, is that Karuna modified? I see the guns are arranged differently. Also, did you fix the stern greebles?

[MatthTheGeek]

Err, wut ? It's exactly the Karuna we have in latest WiH. At least from what can be seen in the pic.

[Dragon]

Nope. Take a closer look on the cannons on the front. They are more widely spaced than on WiH's Karuna.

[-Norbert-]

I just did take a very close look, comparing the picture with the model loaded up and FRED and it looks exactly the same, except for the turrets pointing forward instead of up and down.

The angle is a bit deceptive, because what looks like the lower guns are actually the two port-side (left) guns, which also hide the actual lower guns from sight.

[MatthTheGeek]

Nope. Take a closer look on the cannons on the front. They are more widely spaced than on WiH's Karuna.

They're... not ? You might want to buy some glasses, mate.



The cannons look a tad longer though, but I blame FS's low FoV for that one.

[Dragon]

Heck, you're right. I really need to wake up. 
It's all work of the tricky angle the picture was taken and different FOV that made cannons seem longer.

*awesome snip*

Don't you wish the UEF was this cool?

Can I wish the UEF has Astrogators, Skjoldrs and the Impervious-class?
