Seriously!
I created a mission and by some kind of mistake I was a cargo unit!
I was unable to move and had no weapons so scrolled over the targets.
Beta 1...2...3...Alpha 3...2...1???
:wtf:
-
:lol:
I Heard of Cruisers,Cap Ships but not a cargo ship. :p
-
but that's only possible if the cargo unit has a special flag to enable the player to use it If I heard right.
well nasty thing... you were a sittin' duck.
-
Mebbe you were full of Vipers? ;)

Maybe, just maybe you didn't qualify as pilot? :P
Command: Well, your piloting skills don't meet our standards. It would be irresponsible to let you in the cockpit of a fighter/ bomber again.
But you have shown interest and great dedication, so we let you pilot this wonderful...cargo container..., welcome to the GTVA, pilot!
-
According to scouting reports from the 13th Triskaidekaphobes, the GTVA is using cargo containers to ambush key positions throughout this sector. The hit-and-run attacks have unfortunately proven quite successful. We've already lost three cruisers, a corvette, and an entire shipment of Bosch Beer.
-
I was a cargo once, too.
Of course I was playing Descent 3: Mercenary at the time, but still.
-
Thinking outside the box by getting into one. I like it. :p
-
Supply ships are the most fun. That or nav bouys.
-
You were imprisoned and waiting for a cargo ship to pick you up during a prisoner transfer. That is until someone comes in and saves you.
-
Has anyone tried support ships?
-
Not me, but last time I checked flying what is essentially a bomb waiting to go off is not what I'd call fun. Well, until I try it and try to dodge everything. :drevil:

:lol:
I'm gonna get down to trying it, after all, it can't be *that* bad, however I have no idea how the whole docking thing would work though :nervous:
-
On the second thought, it would be nice to fly a few missions as a supply vessel.
-
Primary objectives______________
*Resupply Alpha 1
:lol:

And what's so intresting in it? :rolleyes: :wtf:

Didn't you find flying Shivan ships and random stuff interesting when you just started FREDding/modding?

Well... yeah. But I don't see any reason why to make a thread just because of playing as cargo :P
But after second thoughts... Yeah. That was fun when I just started FREDding :D

The thread title sounds like an autobiography

You could probably FRED it to a hoykey, some kind of player-use-ai and an order to dock with your current target.
-
And jump out with it! It would be really amusing when it's a destroyer. Pity that the Sathanas doesn't have a docking point . . .

That would be so amazingly cool, I'm going to try it this weekend :) THANKYOU!

Primary objectives______________
*Resupply Alpha 1
:lol:
Briefing
-------
Scramble! We have a situation developing in Gamma Draconis. Our fighters covering the Carthage engaged the Shivan forces and ran out ot ordnance.
Your objective is to rearm the ships, especially Alpha 1. He is one of our greatest pilots and it is necessary to give him enough Harpoons to kill those Dragons on the field.
Be aware, Support 1. We have already lost 2 support ships there. Stay on your guard and avoid those lasers.
Primary objectives______________
*Resupply Alpha 1
*Avoid the Rakshasa
Secondary objectives
*Rearm Alpha 3

****, I forgot to try it this weekend, was LAN-ing H3 and watching 'Fat-Pizza: The Movie', have to be this week's 'project' then.

I'd say slap a subach or morningstar on there, atleast give you a small chance.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA!
Well done :D
-
If this is made, we will play it
-
I recall the time by some freak of the program in the first Casaulities of War I was flying a Volition Bravos...
-
If this is made, we will play it
If I know the appropriate flag for the ai_profiles.tbl or ship.tbl or whatever, I'll work on a demo mission
-
Whats so cool about it? try it, it would be nervewrecking. In a big mission Alpha 1 has a hard time keeping its escorts alive. Think about when A1 is the cargo pilot, and is guarded by all AI's.
And being a support ship in a real mission would be fun.
Tho we all know we never try or care to save them. I usually use support ships as fodder\cover.
We would get to see the tables turn and feel what they feel.

If they would atleast do a "Hey, some help would be nice" It'd probably work better. If I actually see a support ship being pursued I'll usually help it out, but they don't tell you when they're in trouble.

Of course I was playing Descent 3: Mercenary at the time, but still.
Chalk up another member I know who also has D3. :D
Once, I tried to fly a Fenris, but my FREDding screwed up and I ended up flying a Perseus with no armour.

Well, Dilmah? Is the cargo projet going?
BTW, send me mission 1!
-
give the lInkage

I was a cargo
We Were Cargo Once...and Fragile

I know why the Ancient ones were destroyed and I know what they knew. [...] In the Vasudan war, we learned how to adapt, we learned how to study our enemy, we learned how to overcome, we learned how to survive. And so now we are no more than mere parts of the system of 0-s and 1-s (Alpha 1).
-
A freighter docks with a TAC-1, then goes off to the drop off point. When it has arrived there, it undocks with the TAC-1, and it believes it is finished with the TAC-1. But no matter what else it might do with its dockpoint--tug a cruiser, capture a fighter--its dockpoint always remembers the TAC-1.
-
Who can forget the lovely Tac-1's. Their like space dogs, our best friend. Always there to scan when we need to.

Well atm I'm 'studying' the ships.tbl trying see what makes support ships flyable. I'll send the mission to you now.

this would be an insane intro to a campaign!

Come to think of it, that would.
