It never first occured to me that this ship even had dual turrets in the first place, but the fact that it has these two completely out-of-place guns on random mounts is a total mind****.

Has anyone else noticed this? :lol:

Well I'll be damned, even the Faustus does it.

Another question, why does the Hecate have a single THT slapped on the port aft side?

You tell me. Your the man with teh answers.

But yeah, I never knew it could (slightly) defend itself.

Well, the one on the Faustus could be a turret for combat testing fighter weapons. As for the AWACS vessels, everything is better than those TTWs. Just my ideas.

Doesn't the Poseidon have Subachs too? And the Elysium?

And everyone ignores the fact that I highlighted the Akheton SDGs they're armed with... :doubt:

Post by: TrashMan on February 23, 2009, 03:45:52 pm
Actually, you highlighted a Subach too....

but it sorta makes sense. Disabling a ship makes it a easy target for your gunners, no?
Title: Re: Epic WTF: The GTA Charybdis and other ships
Post by: Commander Zane on February 23, 2009, 03:49:11 pm
The reason I highlighted the one Subach on the Charybdis was beacuse just that, it has two different weapons on the same turret.

perhaps it was mistake when the tbls where cleaned up for release --
you know, getting rid of testing weapons, cut-content weapons and so forth

ps. the most epic loadout WTF is the GVB Bakha

LOL, I haven't looked through the entire list, I just merely ran into the Charybdis while skimming down to find the Orion so I haven't seen the Bakha's until now.

I wonder if that'll work now... ;7

There's quite a few table nags like those.
And how the Rakshasa's fourth prong is a random blob turret...

Lots of mistakes in the tables.  I can only assume that they did a quick and dirty job making some of the early tables ...probably converted from Descent: FreeSpace into FS2 format...and along the way they did allot of text/replace and stuff ended up like they are now.

Even the Aeolus has asymmetrical turret layouts...

Uhm...not IIRC.
It's only got three turrets off the centerline, and they're the same on both sides (1 SGreen, 1 AAAf, 1 Standard Flak each).
Everything else is mounted on the top or bottom, in single-weapon multiparts.

Would that actually work now with the SCP in the loadout menu?

What's hte rate of fire of the Helios cannon? It's not ballistic, is it? INFINITE AMMO FTW!!!! :lol:

iirc if you do not give a ship primary cargo space it will be unable to load a primary weapon that takes up space.
Title: Re: Epic WTF: The GTA Charybdis and other ships
Post by: Droid803 on February 24, 2009, 05:05:54 pm
If you don't set the cargo space, it defaults as 1.

I think it says, "4ll j00r bUNn1eZ r b3l0nG 2 crE3M cH3zze."

I wouldn't know either for sure, I'm more fluent in Megafunk.
