Title: beam flak guns on fighters
Post by: OMFG PWNT on August 20, 2006, 01:49:14 am
ok i thought of a way to use beam and flak guns by changing the fighter flag to cruiser so i can use them. i got a ursa and put lred on the turret, but it doesnt automatically shoot, it only shoots if i make fire beam in event editor. also i put the flak on pilot weaps, but when i shoot it the flak balls (watever you call them) blows up instanstly, killing my self. when i use beams on pilot weap bank it shoots little spheres that blow up on impact but does does damage, wtf is the problem?

Sounds like your using retail to me. FSO allows fighters and bombers to carry beams and flak properly, without the cruiser flag.

In inferno once it kept starting me off with 40 BFvas as secondary and no primaries. so I'd call in a support ship and then have some fun killing EA bombers with a BFvas :pimp:
