Title: help plz
Post by: Mishakuz on January 10, 2003, 10:21:19 pm

I'm considering making a mission where a ship has to go through the big hole in an Arcadia. I was wondering if anyone knew if the Deimos corvette could go through it or not.

Thanx

Firstly, welcome to HLP, I hope you enjoy your stay! :nod:

As for the Deimos, I've never actually tried, but at first glance I doubt it. I think a cruiser might be able to get through, especially a blocky one like the Rakshasa (maybe not the Leviathan) - but why not give it a go? ;)

Like Steak says - suck it and see. Load up FRED, put in an Arcasia, and see if a Deimos will fit in it without clipping the sides.

In all honesty, a Leviathan will only just fit in it with a few metres clearence above and below... so there's not much chance of the Deimos fitting, methinks...

I'm afraid I'm going to gave to pull a Zylon now and say that I hope your question is not indicitive of your FREDing skills in general... and case, good luck :)

Do your attempt using waypoints, and order the Deimos to go directly to that point. An Aeolus can surely get through the hole, and I think the Deimos is also able to do that, but that is still unknown.:)
