It's done by deploying 8 Sathanas Juggernaughts, and then self-destructing them simultaneously. It does 5,000,000,000 damage approximately (it damaged the Volition Bravos to 51%). It could be used to kill the Gargant, too.

It strikes me that if you had eight Sathannases at your disposal, you could simply use them to kill the Ghargant, but whatever.

Err.. No. :P

They can't kill the Gargant. And they can't even scratch the Volition Bravos with their main beam cannons either. ::)

I didn't do that cause I had my homework on the computer at the time. :p

i wouldnt mind seeing flying exclamation marks or other ascii characters  :P. ascii vs fs2?

What have you done? Made them kamikaze or simply self-destructed and shockwaves dealt so much damage? o_0
Title: Re: Sathanas Catalyst
Post by: Snail on February 03, 2007, 10:17:56 am
I just self destructed one when they were a few meters apart, started a chain reaction and then... BOOM!!!

i wouldnt mind seeing flying exclamation marks or other ascii characters  :P. ascii vs fs2?

Actually they're just those question marks when you click on when there's an unknown briefing icon present.

Yes, they have almost the same stats as the Pegasus.

I removed stealth so i could get some screenies. They are small, and extremely fast so hitting them is very hard. i also made it so they can move in all axes at the same time, like the Scorpion. It actually looks pretty cool.

Hold on... are the question marks actual ships?

What do you mean? They fly, shoot, and get blown up if that's what you're asking.

Heh, according to FSOpen i have killed the Volition Bravos..though i don't remember seeing the whole ship.  :lol:

This is what has me confused. What exactly are these question marks?

Messing around with skyboxes (in INFA):

Trapped in cargo.

They were models, originally used in stock FS2 when one clicks on the unknown icons during the briefing (nebula in FS2, little clovers in FS1). I added gunbanks to them, cloned a Pegasus table and gave them a few custom weapons. Turned out hilarious as these little question marks ripped apart a Vasudan Aten. :lol:

I think he put his fighter and the cargo in the same coordinates, no skybox. I think :nervous:

Title: Re: Sathanas Catalyst
Post by: Snail on February 07, 2007, 12:46:18 pm
I just used the cargo model. There are no modifications to the actual model. However, it is a skybox so you can't fly into the walls or anything.

A pegasus fighter replaced with a question mark image. Its not that hard to understand. The ?'s are fighters, with IIRC 21 gunz, and can move in all axies. Hard to hit and blow up like normal fighters.

EDIT: Crap, 2 pages. Someone probably answered already.

EDIT2:
:blah: that better not be the case! I have THE BEST mission idea...
Lemme guess. Command tries to sneak Alpha 1 behind enemy teritory. A lone cargo drifting in space. Everything goes smooth untill a patrol wing, close to the enemies 1000 capital ships, destroys the cargo. All of a sudden out of the explosion comes... Ta da! Alpha 1, the l337 ship of doom, whos mission is to kill all red dots!
What will the enemy forces do now.. their doomed!!

So... you wrote "cargo03.pof" in the skybox field?
Title: Re: Sathanas Catalyst

Yep. You can also do hollow asteroids. And perhaps even a hollow Earth using Earth.pof. :lol:

More like a fun mission.

That question mark thing made me want to make something funny, so I made a space-faring car. I'll come up with a picture later.

No. 1, the skybox model follows you (I think), and two, it would look stupid as the model is transparent (to show the stars).
Title: Re: Sathanas Catalyst

The min number of star is 500, IIRC.

Post by: Snail on February 09, 2007, 06:17:28 am

That's one thing, but there's something more important. The model itself is transperant, so you would be able to see what's on the other side. Try setting transparent in the lab, you'll see what I mean.

GTVA reopens the SOL node only to find out Earth is fake\hollow.
