Jus' wonderings.... a/ is the ShieldBreaker in the campaign?
b/ is the Railgun any good?
c/ anyone got a screenshot of either?
(in case you're wondering, the FS1 weapons.tbl has 2 secret weapons - the Shield Breaker and the Railgun. The Railgun's commented out, though)
-
Isnt the ShieldBreaker in Silent Threat? I think its called the S-Breaker in ST though.
The S-Breaker from ST, in my opinon, would be a very nice predcesser to the Circe.
Never heard of the Railgun. I still got Fs1 installed, so I'll look and try to get some pics.

wait for OTT, you'll have plenty of them :P

Finally! Fs1 was being a pain in the ass. It couldn't find the Fs.exe then it couldnt find the mission, arrghh!! But me being me, I kept at it and got some pics. I got the pics barly, as Fs would crash 1:25 into the mission (dont care what is causeing the prob, as I'll most likly reinstall the game if I wanted to play it again) Heres the pics:

Shield Breaker is the exact same as the S-Breaker from Silent Threat. My guess is that :v: was going to use the Shield Breaker for something in FS1 The Great War, but they instead put it in ST.
(http://www.thomasbode.com/support/Freespace/screen02.jpg)
Another angle of the Shield Breaker. On the upper right is part of the subspace vortex, (before any asks :))
(http://www.thomasbode.com/support/Freespace/screen03.jpg)
This is the Railgun. It is very simaler to Bobboau's Pharnac, used on Ancient craft. Unfortunly, its nothing new :(
(http://www.thomasbode.com/support/Freespace/screen04.jpg)
Another angle of the Railgun.

A 2nd angle of the Railgun.
So, if you were looking for anything new, Aldo, these weapons are not it.

What did you do to the graphics? You need to go into setup, and detect your 3d accelerator, it will fix those graphics.
-
Hey Aldo, I like yor railguns in model dump2... I made a VF a bomber but it can't equip the railgums (turns them to tempests) .. they work with that bomber you made GTB Surt... Do I have to change anything critical? Anyway great job! I like the bomber and the weapons...
Would you be interested in mkaing a few weaps based on Japanese Anime?

Its always been like that. I have to update just about everything on my computer. Never had time though. Thats Fs1, Fs2 looks great. Besides I dont care that much how Fs1 looks.
-
I had seen the shield breaker before but not the railgun; the shield breaker seems to be pretty much the same thing as the S-breaker except that it uses a different firing sound. The railgun looks a bit like something in my campaign, and I didn't even know it existed... :p

Mine was like that for the longests time, then I detected by 3d card, and presto, my Silent Threat install on the DVD verison looked awesome. But I agree, I don't care what fs1 looks like either.

Actually, Sesquipaedlian tabled the weapon, and the pof is Bobbaus. Maybe make sure your bomber has the railgun in the allowed sbanks?

Err... forgive me if this makes me sound a bit thick, but can one put the corkscrew flag on a primary?

in fs 2 i found a weapon that looked like a ud8 kayser but had no name or description in multi player once...:wtf:

It probably WAS a kayser then. :D Just a bug that prevented it identifying itself as one. FS can do some freaky stuff at times :)

it was the Targeting Laser - pretty useless without further mods

It works but it doesnt do damage past a certain point, even though its supposedly well within the weapon's range, you can see the bolts hit the target but no damage is applied...its screwy

and why would it be in mutli and not singal and what does it do :drevil:
-
The thing was supposed to call in a helios from subspace or something like that...looks like a blue fighter beam
-
I have the railgun in the Port, and will be included in the Vasudan Campaign. Check out the Port 'Features' page for my take on it.
I just HAD to jack up its damage rating to make it useful, though.

Any truth to this? I might have to investigate this myself... Even if it doesn't, perhaps someone working on FS_Open could insert it as an easter egg:-)
