Title: Newbie Inferno SCP question
Post by: Marcov on May 29, 2010, 09:00:36 pm
As I've recently installed Inferno SCP in my computer, I just have one curious question about it (which I already posted in another thread, but Iss Mneur told me to make a new topic):

One curious question: what does the Inferno Lucifer do in the campaign (given that it's significantly stronger than the original)? Or is it just a "supered" version of the old one to give the Lucy a more accurate stand in custom missions?

... There is no Lucifer in R1...

I don't think Inferno SCP is out yet.

What you're playing is, I believe, Inferno R1, patched to work with SCP builds.

Yes, there is. It's programmed to make FSO work with Inferno. I noticed there wasn't a Lucy in the R1, but there is in the SCP patch. Why? (considering that the techroom description is exactly similar to the original Lucy, so there's a chance that it might not appear in any INF missions)

Um, no. There is Inferno R1. Inferno SCP (Super Confusing Project) used to be in the making. Not sure of its status at the moment. But the SCP patch you downloaded for R1 is just a patch for R1. Even if you have it, you're still playing R1. It hasn't magically turned into "Inferno SCP".

I think Marcov's questioning what the INF team's reasoning for including it in the patch... whether it meant that they planned on including it in INF-SCP and included it as an Easter Egg or teaser of sorts.  IIRC, the Lucifer was intended to replace the Diablo in INF-SCP... at least at the time that the patch was released.  As to what their current (on hold) plans are for the main Inferno campaign are, and whether the Lucifer will play a part, are unknown to me.

The Lucifer is the Shivan's superdestroyer. It's equivalent to the GTSD Odin and the EASD Nemesis.

It's now just another prop, I don't believe it plays as significant a role as the Diablo (which has been tossed) in the INF SCP campaign. I think the role of the Chapter 1 mid-level 'mini-boss' is filled by the new Amritaya juggernaut, which looks like a Sath with three arms.
