Title: Piloting Corvettes
Post by: D-420 on December 12, 2013, 06:57:49 pm
I have been recently attempting to force the Player Ship to be a GTC Aeolus, and I have found that the Turrets seem to be broken, and the HUD is Off-Center.
I am not sure why this happens, but I think I have an idea, That the Turrets are Ship AI Dependent, and that the only way to get them to fire might be to get them to use the AI that, for example, the Ursa's Turrets use.
I do not think this is possible without having to make a whole new Cruiser, and somehow classifying it as a Fighter.
Anyway, If you know of any way to force pilot a Cruiser properly, with Turrets and HUD intact, please let me know, and if not, tell me how I will never be able to realize my dream of piloting a GTD Orion into a Battlefield. :(

Oooooh oooh ooooh!

Play Blue Planet: War in Heaven, and go to the tech room to play the mission "The Blade Itself"

After you've wet yourself, go to the Blue Planet forum to find out how to do that.

And welcome!

You can use this script. Just keep in mind it's not tested with the latest builds, but it should work.

Wow, thanks, I did not expect that it had been done before!
I will do both of those, thanks!
