The sath should replace, say, the guillotine maybe (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

That's a matter of modding though. Let me tell you, watching a 4.4km long juggernaut pop out of the St. George Lag and open up with a dozen assault cannon turrets is an intimidating thing. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
I'm reasonably sure that we could just about build FS2 in Iwar2. Or better yet, FS3. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif)

I meant replacing the guillotine for logical reasons, not to make any comparison (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
just sounds more logical to me to replace a big ship you almost never see rather than your home base...

Also, since we can know that we can mount beams on t-fighters, we can have beam turrets. Since we can limit turret angles (in the INI file for the turret) we can limit angles of attack for the beams.
All this, of course, is dependent on the release of POG.

you can limit turret angles, but not Tfighter angles

I can mod a comms laser into a great ugly Sathanas beam.
I can mount a comms laser onto a turret fighter. That means that there is in engine reason that beams cannot be autotargetting or be mounted on freely rotating turrets.
I can, therefore, with POG make a turret with a beam.
I can limit a turrets range of motion.
There is no reason, therefore, that a Sathanas, with proper beams, could not be built in Iwar2 as soon as POG is released.
