Title: Multi weapon turrets
Post by: Dwarf on December 25, 2002, 06:30:59 am

I know that you can have multiple weapons on a single turret (the science cruiser on turret 3) but whenever I play around with the tables file on a capital ship I only get one turret firing. For example if I change the leviathans missle turret to have two secondary banks of helios and fusion mortar, only the fusion mortar fires.

Thx

Gunnery control, open fire!

Welcome to the HLPBB!

Exits are to the rear and left in case of emergency and shotguns, flamethrowers, mortars, rocket launchers, and Type IV Phaser Rifles are under the seats and in the cabinets. If you see any Shivans crawling around here, that's probably just Carl. If you see him, just give him your lunch and don't make any sudden moves. Plus, avoid the Hammer of 0wnage and Tiara's Axe

Back on topic, I really don't understand those multiple secondary banks either. Best to just leave the Leviathan with one, and ignore the science cruiser (damn thing can't defend itself anyway).
*wavey*

Anyone? Nuclear1 calling for immediate backup!!!

Multiple weapons on single turret does not work as far as I know.
Whatever the turret is equipped with, it will only use first weapon.

I don't know why Orion, Faustus and perhaps a few others have multiple weapons on one turret in first place...
Perhaps Volition scrapped support for such feature before FS1 final but didn't bother to remove extra weapons at all.

The Faustus has multiple weapons on turret 3 becase (in my opinion) the guy who wrote the tbls at V screwed up. That weapon list for turret 3 is a lot like the loadout for a fighter.

also, i think he must have got the helios and harpoon confused. (Myrmidon anybody)
