heh, ever have the Colossus blow up in the final mission?
I have, first thing I noticed wrong, big set of engines in front of me
second, they were exploding
third, I was in a different ship that I was in the 2nd last (I was in an Aries with dual Kaysers and Trebs, then I was in a Perseus with dual Maxims and Tempests)
fourth, the engenes were flying at me extremely fast
fifth, I was dead....

It took a Collosus exploding to kill Alpha 1...yes, that's been said before... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

I was destroyed by SC 5 debris once but my hull was at 10% or something. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

The GTVA should start using huge chunks of debris against their enemies instead of standard weapons... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

 (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) True. After getting killed by debris, diginity does kinda go out the window.

I used cargos in Iwar2 as weaôns, once: I docked with one, went at about 1500 mps and dropped it, boum, it went directly into that ùmarauder station hehe, quite efficient, it was full of neutron warheads  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Heheh, I altered the Tempests so that they fired in bursts of thirty. They had 360 tracking, had like a 0.003 rotation time and went about 1200m/s. They were also heat seeking. If there were hostiles behind me I had to fire them, hit the burners and corkscrew outta their way. Anything slower than a Uly and I was toast. They had like 2000 damage per missile. Hehehe. Blatant misuse of TBL editing.

Stupidest thing about FS2? That would have to be the bug they never fixed with damping, where if you try to make your ships slide more than the tiniest bit, you end up flying sideways. Killed any hope of a physics mod for FS2.

Well, that and the 60km box outside of which Command will kill you.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

Whaddya mean? I tried it, and it worked just like I expected to. The main problem I had was that those sliding keys weren't remappable.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)

And AI takes a hitch... so there's no real reason to make "physics" mod.

I got that in a mission I made, over and over again, until I relized that I put my starting point outside the 60 km range...

Has anyone ever figured out how FS calculates collision damage? Is it based solely on the speed, or is the mass figured in too... and if so, where does it get the mass of debris chunks from?

Blast damage attributes in ships.tbl maybe.... I need to balance all this crap out for the big ships in Reciprocity.
