Title: Lookee what I found
Post by: Dark Hunter on January 13, 2007, 09:48:09 pm: Has anyone ever even heard of the AI Pyrgos?

Found its POF file loitering around in Inferno's VP, so I copied the AI Thera's table data, made a few adjustments (this thing is HUGE), and voila! here's a ~~ship~~ Installation I'd never even heard of.

Dimensions of Pyrgos (w/h/l):

31km
51km
31km

Dimensions of Hara (w/h/l):

38 km
34 km
42 km

So about the same size, I estimate. Taller, but thinner.

Anyway, I converted it into a gigantic cannon once (Mjolnir in the middle). :D

You read my old post about the Pyrgos, right?

I would like to have a tbl entry...for future use.

Post by: Snail on January 14, 2007, 01:47:47 pm: Actually you wouldn't. I just made the Thera and replaced its hitpoints to a few hundred million or so.

Post by: Dark Hunter on January 14, 2007, 02:02:58 pm: I don't think it has turrets or anything else... though an installation of that size wouldn't need any! :D

Like Snail said, just copy the Thera's table data, increase hitpoints and closeup pos (so you can actually see it in techroom), and there you go.
