New GTVA secret weapon!!! (pic)

That's something of an oxymoron.

Ugh.  The Mannheim, prolly.  This had better not be a docking bug.

Since it looks like he's using retail, it's likely that it's just an exploit: the old hotkey-jump command that allows the player to order the departure of any order-receiving ships in a particular hotkey. The Mannheim IIRC is order-receivable, and therefore might have been accidentally ordered to depart through hotkeys, and took Enif with it.

Or maybe not, it's been a while since retail.

Wow, this is sweet.
Do you know how unsuspecting this would be in multiplayer:D
Just 2 ships fighting each other around an arcadia, then all of a sudden, he's being chased and shot down by the worlds fastest arcadia.
VERY unsuspecting.
I'd be laughing my ass off if i was piloting the arcadia, or the guy being chased by it.
BTW, i'm not sure if there was any reference of the player being able to dock with it, given they're flying the proper ship of course.

Windows notepad has a reson to exist. You can go into *.FS2*s and change them around in notepad, doing things FRED would complain endlessly about.

[aceofspades]

Mars, what .fs2 editing are you referring to? Jump-outs? Or docking ability?
I would love to mess around with this...

[Mars]

Create a mission, put in a support-ship, have it be docked with the players fighter (or any fighter), then change the support ship's class in notepad to somthing big (Ganymede is always fun), make sure the dock-point names are correct.

The king of Ganywarping... An Arcadia?

Looks like DW-Suzanna has some new competition...

[Charismatic]

Iv seen a arcadia jump b4. Nothing new.

[ShivanSpS]

another rare bug? the other day I get killed two times by the Iceni on the rescue mission in the nebula... They just dispear from its position and apear in Azrael place! I still thiking about that, they just vanished and killme, lol! when I get killed I say "What??????", and see the Iceni over me... them i see "Shivan killed by a collition by the iceni" LOL! I no know what happend there, this happend in less than 1 second has been very agressive.

yeah like the arcadia jumping out, that was nothing new, but when your doing th eofficial campaign and SCP does weird stuff it's funny.

Force-warping a Ganymede ring during a SquadWar was still tons more fun...

[antar05]

Turns out it seems that ALL objects can warp. Ganywarping has already been mentioned, but it holds for Shivan Comm Nodes, Asteroids, THE KNOSSOS!!!

Rather than think of it as a bug, it's just something that the programmers didn't bother to program in--I mean, why GET RID of a feature that, if it's so unbelievable, campaign writers can just NOT USE?

It's supposed to be like that. That feature has been used in Derelict. Just to mention one example.
And the effect can have numerous clever usages. With a little ani altering you can cause arcadia to be sucked in toan artificial black hole.

That does sound cool. Talk about secret weapon.

Can it be done while leaving the Subspace effect intact for other uses in the mission (like, say, YOUR jumping out?)

[Starks]

Someone needs to make a ship that was designed for piercing through blockades and ramming other ships.

Nico did.  Or I made one for Nico; I forget which.

Back in the days of OtT.  Think it was Shivan.

Sorry to bump this topic, but I got an idea. Is it possible to make a mission where the player (in a GTF Pegasus at max engine power) has to survive having Arcadias warp out at him randomly for a preset period of time (with a score counter for every Arcadia that misses the player fighter craft)?

 

Would definitely be a challenge, especially if the angles and numbers of Arcadias being thrown at the player became random.

Could it be done by asteroids, perhaps?

And then that brings up another question, can asteroids be made to warp in and out when they appear and disappear to create lots of warp effects?

Sounds like fun actually... Perhaps the Arcadia should be replaced with a Ganymede. Youd get to fly trought it while evading those pipes.

If you have an asteroid model and you place them manually.
