Title: Question
Post by: Night Hammer on October 05, 2004, 06:18:18 pm: Say an Argo is docked with an Orion and the Argo jumps out will the Orion go too?

Post by: Axem on October 05, 2004, 06:33:31 pm: Yes, and it's quite hilarious. :D It tought me the reason you should put is-undocked-delay as the departure cue, and not a 5 second delay.
Title: Question
Post by: Night Hammer on October 05, 2004, 06:34:32 pm: would it just be the one warp out thing for the Argo or would the Orion make one for itself too?
Title: Question
Post by: Axem on October 05, 2004, 06:40:53 pm: Think of it this way, the Argo is a Poseidon, and the Orion is a cargo container.

But I'm not sure how big the warp point would be. I think it would be as large as the Orion.

Post by: StratComm on October 05, 2004, 06:51:06 pm: It's calculated based on the size of the ship jumping, not the larger of the two objects, so the jump point will be the size of the Argo. If you want the big jump point, make the Orion jump out (make sure the Argo is pointing forwards, so use its bottom dock)

Post by: NGTM-1R on October 05, 2004, 07:25:11 pm: I've seen an Arcadia jump out because the Argo it was docked with jumped out, though...and the subspace effect was large enough for the Arcadia.
Title: Question
Post by: StratComm on October 05, 2004, 07:34:34 pm: Interesting, it is. I stand corrected. Is this a change?

Took forever for the Arcadia to sink into the hole too, interestingly enough. I.e. not like the Arcadia was told to jump at all.

Post by: Grimloq on October 05, 2004, 08:27:06 pm: sometimes the hole is big as the bigger of the 2, sometimes it isnt. and it takes forever to take otehr ships into subspace, but its SO funny!!!!!!!!

GTT Asdf: Im sorry, but FRED ordered me to jump out while I happened to be offloading some antimatter charges. Oops.....

Post by: Axem on October 05, 2004, 09:07:08 pm: Semi-related to this, in X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, there was an Imperial Training Mission, that when you completed it and you stayed around, 6 ISD's came out of Hyperspace and started talking. Anyway, they all decided to order pizza, and when the delivery came and they couldn't pay, a tiny tug came and pulled away one of the ISDs.

I wouldn't mind seeing something like that FS-wise. ;) (Tiny Poseidon takes away the Colossus because of a speeding ticket...)

Title: Question
Post by: Axem on October 05, 2004, 09:25:24 pm: It was the warhead interception one. Easy way to do it is in an Assault Gunboat, disable the fighters, then let the cap ships move along their waypoints till the mission is done.
