The Chimera now sports twin beam cannons.

Stealth fighters with beams?! Well, it depends on how powerful the beams are, really.

[NGTM-1R]

You need to do something about the red texture on those. The black/grey bits are fine, but the red looks awful.

I don't think it's a stealth fighter anymore.

[ssmit132]

Ah, I see.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I thought the Chimera was a bit big for a stealth fighter anyway.

[Mobius]

The Chimera's more like the Daedalus. It's a stealth fighter capable of inflicting damage to its enemies, not a sneaky scout like the Pegasus or Ptah.

So it's a stealth fighter with fighterbeams?

[Mobius]

I'm not even sure it's going to have beams. It may have been a joke by Rampage, considering that the Chimera looks like a tiny Lucifer.

[Snail]

Uh, no. I distinctly recall some relatively recent screenshots of it using fighterbeams.

[Mobius]

Proof...?

[Snail]

Ugh I can't be arsed. Just trust me. They exist. Ask Woomeister.

You need to do something about the red texture on those. The black/grey bits are fine, but the red looks awful.

The red have not been grayed out on the base texture, so w/ the glow maps applied it looks convoluted.  We will fix this when the time comes.

I read it had beams on some tech description somewhere.
Don't remember where though.

[Rampage]

Developer's



Speaking of beams, this is our beam-capable medium bomber that is still under development.  It carries no warheads but two beam cannons that can easily rip through capital ships.  Polygons ~2500 untriangulated.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Hang on, I think I've seen this ship before. Wasn't it used in Droid's ToD?

[Jellyfish]

SB Yali, I think. The beam bomber.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Yes, that. I forget relatively unknown fan-made Shivan designs so easily...

[Droid803]

Oh hooooo niiice.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Yeap, it's the Yali.

Hmm, it has a 158th tech room description?

[Nyctaeus]

I've never liked beam-bomber idea design, but I like Yali design . Good work .

BTW. I wanna see something bigger .
