Title: Alpha I beginning in Moloch?
Post by: woodburner on July 25, 2008, 10:24:53 am: Yello.
Remember in mystery of the trinity, how you started off in the Acquitaine? I've always wondred how it works. Also, what ships can you start inside? Can you start in a SCv Moloch?

That would give the illusion that you just launched.

That would make you launch.

Also, the "launch" you get in that mission is when the Aquitaine adjusts course to go to its waypoint. Your ship doesn't actually move.

I always launch before it moves/changes course.

Post by: nvsblmnc on August 01, 2008, 07:51:13 am: I think cole meant that he flies off before the Aquitaine moves.

It's a pretty clever trick on :v:'s part though. Any time I tried to work that out myself rather than just copy the values I usually ended up with the player going splat.

Post by: Stormkeeper on August 01, 2008, 07:54:41 am: I usually fly off to early. But yea, a pretty cool trick, making it seem like you're getting 'launched' out.
