Title: question about bugs
Post by: Nico on March 16, 2002, 06:38:44 pm: I have a strange bug... well, it's a kindda common one, hut I noticed something I didn't before:
my last destroyer has been converted, and, of course, player can fly through, and it has invisible walls around its center. But, I noticed this didn't happen when i was flying, say, the Ulysses, it happened only when flying a moded ship ( raziel, ezechiel).
Does someone knows how to sort that out? This pisses me off.

I've tried 0 already, what happen is when you're hit by a laser or anything, you spin like crazy and are thrown away. Not good :D

Most likely, turn rates are too high, so when a big, long ship tries to pivot about its center at a rate that would normally be fine, it's got half a mile to swing instead of a few meters. And that speed adds up.

and with the colossus which has its pivot point in the back of the ship, this results in a severe bashing of anything that stands in the way :p

Post by: CP5670 on March 17, 2002, 08:52:40 pm: LOL I once did that as well for the Colossus and changed the targeting laser's mass to some really high value. That did the strangest things in the game - I started firing the TL at a Colossus, and right after I hit the fire button, the thing went spinning away like some of gigantic fan with only one blade. In less than a second it had already covered 10000m and was rapidly spinning at around 7 or 8 revolutions a second. It was hilarious to watch. :D

It would have made an awesome weapon though, slashing away anything in its path. :D
