Did anyone ever notice that a couple of ships didn't match up to their Tech descriptions
For Example:
According to the Tech description, The Mjolnir is supposed to have 2 Anti-Cap Beam Turrets and 3 Anti-fighter Turret...But it doesn't
Also, The number of Turrets on the Colossus didn't match up to the numbers given in the Colossus Cutscene.
NOW I would like to know if someone has made Description Accurate versions of these Models. and if so where i can get them.

?
I think the descriptions should be adapted to the models, not the contrary...though I'd really like to see a Mjolnir like the one described in the Tech Room :)
-
There's an 86 gun Collusus over at Hades Combine. I'm not sure if it equals the number of guns in the cutscene, but I do know it restores the weapons unused in the tbl files.
Original gameplay wise, I would have to agree with Mobius on the description being modified to fit the model rather than model fitting the description. All those weapons were likely taken out for a reason. ;)
-
Mine was a joke, however. We shouldn't touch the tech descriptions, they are Made In :v: :P

Well, Single beam Mjolnirs could be Mk1 prototypes and Tech accurate Mjolnirs are the final product. Id like a tech accurate Mjolnir please
Actually the Hades Combine 86 turret Colossus has 2 more turrets than the cutscene specifies:
45 Laser Turrets
15 Flak Guns
12 Missile Batteries
12 Beam Cannons
= 84 turrets.
I'll DL the HC Colossus. Maybe alter the TBL entry so the weapons 1-84 match up with the cutscene and wing it for the last 2

It could be the contrary. The presence of more turrets could affect negatively the performance of the beams thus resulting in the deployment of smaller sentry guns near a Mjolnir.
-
Or The Mjolnir turned out to be too effective so it left the player with little to do so they removed the AAAf's
-
The missions in which Mjolnir RBCs are simple under a FREDding point of view. There could have been more NTF fighters attacking the Mjolnirs...
-
Could be they did it for storyline purposes (the rebels don't have THAT many fighters with node jump capability) or for simple performance issues
-
I would just use a couple of small sentry turrets flanking the Mjolnir to defend it. Actually, I used my newfound tabling skills to make the "AAASMALL" for just that purpose.
