Title: New Code Feature for SWC (Awesome Screenies)
Post by: Turey on January 13, 2008, 09:36:08 pm
If you've ever read the X-Wing books, you'll probably remember that there were several times when one X-Wing would transmit targeting data to the rest of the squad, and they'd all fire at once to take down a cap ship. Well, over the christmas break, I worked on putting this feature into FSO, and here's the result:

It's so much fun to control this much firepower. I feel like a kid in a candy store.

EDIT: Awesome Vid is here (http://www.fsoinstaller.com/link_fire2.avi). Low FPS is caused by fraps recording at 1400x900 :D

It hit the mining ship so hard it went into a spin!

Actually, that might increase the odds of the TIE/fc being made since that TIE Fighter variant is specifically geared for transmitting targeting data.

Very cool, Turey.
