That's pretty cool, what did you use to put it together?

The only thing that bothers me about it is Alpha 1's flightpath. It seems to come around at a weird angle when he's veering away from the beam.

it was all done in lightwave - and yup the path is abit iffy - i'm having troubleworking out how to get something to automatically allign to the path if need be i'll set a null target and have it fly the path just infront of the ship and have the ship target it  but but but the i think there is  way to get things to automatically follow the path

Reasons to hate AOL:
Corporatism
They're self serving expletives
Their service is crap
They let rejects onto the net
They sell drugs to ki....err...scratch that one
They are trying to buy RedHat
Their sites suck faeces through a bugs bunny novelty straw.

On the plus side, they do bring in lots of cannon fodder and help hide err...'questionable' sites. Then again, that second one is probably a bad thing too.

I think you should make the ships move faster, though. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
