Title: Table questions for my redesigne of the G-96 Prodigy
Post by: WS-Thunder on October 27, 2001, 02:22:00 pm

Hey everyone, I'm redesigning the G-96 Prodigy and I have a couple of questions. Is there a way to limite certain gunpoints as to what they can carry. For instance...


You can carry shield damaging weapons like the HL-7 only on two of three gunpoints, but on the center gunpoint you can carry only hull damaging weapons like the Maxim cannon?


Also, is it possible to give a ship weak spots. Such as make the sheilds weaker in the front than in the back?

Howabout a subsystem that jams radar systems? AKA the old fashioned bouncy red dot thing (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Nope, that's SEXP-driven.

You can code the SEXPTs so that a subsystem does control the stealth however...

Well, here is what I am getting too. I want to make this ship different but interesting. I was hoping to give it a very large gattling gun right in the center of the ship, or at least something simular such as strapping 4 large guns in the center that look like a gattling gun and a couple of smaller guns on the wings. If there is a way I could set it up so that you can only have one certain weapon in the center and have whatever you wanted as a sidearm that would be awsome. Any thoughts on how I could give it this effect? I think this would be cool for a Freespace ship. I plan the fighter to be extremely fast but its an older model than the Perseuse so it will probably be slightly slower but it will have more manueverability than the Persuese (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/redface.gif)) The idea is to have some sweet looking guns on it. This is basically the hero ship in my campaign (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/redface.gif))

I want selective weapons banks too!

I have ideas of light and heavy cannon types but need to stop heavy cannons being put in light mounts.

This sounds like a job for 'the source code'
