It takes more then just a Lucifer to stop the almighty Autarch...

the beams fires from the wrong place (hmm, reminds me something lol). Check FS2 intro (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

You've never played FS (original) have you? thats the right firing position for the beams on the Lucifer, the intro movie got it wrong (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

If you look at the briefing ani where Lucy is introduced you will notice something at the destroyers side that COULD be a beam cannon. But the game model only has two beams on the arms.

"You've never played FS (original) have you?"
Of course I have! I finished it again last week!!! Mmh, let me check...
Yes, you're right. Anyway, that looks better in the intro I think. But there's no point anymore, people prefer what they want, so I'm fine with this (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
-edit: anyway, you say that there is only two beams on the model, but in some briefing, they say Luci gots 3! So what are we supposed to believe? Even the Volition staff doesn't seem to know lol.

This isn't a 3D render, is it? Dang, makes it much harder to judge. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
I like it... The lucifer looks great, and the Autarch, although you can't see much of it, doesn't look bad either. Your lasers look really good, and don't skew in the wrong direction. Great nebula in the background, although there are too many stars.
The explosions on the L. look kindof wrong though... and the beam coming off of the prong at a 90 degree angle definitely bugs me. The only other major complaint I have is the lens flare effect off one of the gunshots- it kindof distorts the rest of the image.
Keep up the good work! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

It is a render, although anything except the ships is post-production. The main idea was to show the different gun types on the Autarch.
The explosions were an experiment, was trying to use my spray gun and blur method for damage effects.

The Lucifer is firing from the right place. Its forward arms.
With so many guns on the Autarch firing on the Lucifer, it reminds me of the space battles in Babylon 5. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Alright, here's how I THOUGHT it worked...
Front arms had the Shivan Flux Cannon: a.k.a Shivan Super Laser. The beam turrets were on either side, where they fire in the opening movie.

The Lucifer has 3 Flux cannons...
2 on the forward arm thingies & one on the right hand side that was used to bake that Orion...
A cut FS1 cutscene showed the Lucifer taking up position around Vasuda prime showed it using the right hand cannon...

Flux cannons ARE beams, just the way FS1 could do the effect.

That's right. However, the Shivan Super Laser from Shrike's Arsenal looks much better than the beam there by default (is it an LRed?).
