Title: How do you make your own Capital Ships?
Post by: acs07 on March 28, 2001, 01:11:00 pm: I'm a new moder and I see lots of tutuorals on how to make fighters and bombers, but I see almost nothing about Capital ships. Does anybody know what I should do to 1st make a simple cap ship? If so it would be greatly appreciated.

As for building capships - essentially, building a capship is like building a bomber, but everything is bigger or more numerous; subsystems, turrets, engine glows, textures. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
