Title: missile cruiser
Post by: Darkage on March 12, 2001, 12:59:00 am: I have anouther idea (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) I planed to turn the fenris cruiser into a missile cruiser,It's meanly ussed against fighters/bomber.

Does this sounds like a good idea?

Title: missile cruiser
Post by: Setekh on March 13, 2001, 04:52:00 pm: Give it shields. Get someone to model them, or get Segeltuch to auto-generate them. The cruiser is small enough, and it has a very weak hull - I think it deserves shielding. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Post by: The Claw on March 13, 2001, 05:44:00 pm: Hmmm... give it more hitpoints and you've basically got a leviathan. Give it shielding and you've got a new class... cool. If you strike a deal between both, and arm it with Trebs or somehting (with a Piranha, of course!) I think you'll have a good ship there.

Precisely! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) And a new texture wouldn't go astray. Add that to a completely different weapons loadout, and you've got a completely new ship. I think it could do with some more turret slots.

Post by: The Claw on March 14, 2001, 06:45:00 am: That's be cool- doesn't the Fenris\Leviathan use a skin instead of tiles too?

Title: missile cruiser
Post by: Setekh on March 14, 2001, 04:43:00 pm: IIRC, the Fenris has two texture files, but neither of them are tiled (the Fenris is too small, and doesn't use repeating patterns like the Deimos or Mentu). It would be damn cool if we could get a new texture, new turret spots, missile loadout, and a shield mesh. That would 0wn. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Post by: Woomeister on March 14, 2001, 05:29:00 pm: I'll have a mess around at the weekend. See what I can do (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

It's about time the Fenris was improved. but I can't make any new turrets as I only have truespace 1 and can't do much with it. However I did make a new missle for my Orion Mod which could be useful. It has the ability to disable any fighter or bomber for ten seconds. My tests have proved its effectiveness.

Post by: Setekh on March 14, 2001, 05:45:00 pm: Well we don't really need to model on the new turrets - that would take too much effort. We can put something onto the texture and simply make a firing point there in FSMM2, that should be enough. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Well, if we add turrets, we might as well edit the entire model. I think flat texture turret points should be find. Make them beam turrets so people can see the firing point. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I ran into a simular problem when I tried to add more weapons to a shielded Aten.

It wouldn't work. Tornadoes are balanced so they are fired by fighters and bombers, not cruisers - to balance it, you would have to make them slower, but have a heavier payload.

4/5 cap ships I've done this for are stable. If you shoot at the shield it will not hit the ship. I've done a few tests on these two ships. The only thing that can pass through are beams.

So far the Aten and Fenris are avaliable. The Aeolus, Lucifer and the Sobek will be up soon.

Excellent job. Naturally, you should make the shield rating of the Lucifer obscenely high, so that it's really invincible. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/devil.gif)

It was initially. Just double the shield strength to get it to what I had it as.
Only fast energy cannons like my Galtaea IIs laser could penetrate it.
