Descent 2 had that first.....


Anyway, what about replacing the debris that is spawned when the ship explodes? Is that possible?

replace the debris in the pof file?

[Ferret]

Wow that hi-poly Shivan model is so awesomely cool. Why have I never seen this before? XD

[Trivial Psychic]

Something like that could probably be done with LUA scripting.

I think Human / Zod body parts would be more believable. I doubt intact bodies would exist, except with the Shivans, and I guess we don't know how tough those exo-skeletons the Marines wear are

[Herra Tohtori]

There would, as a matter of fact, be multiple intact bodies floating about after a cap ship explosion.

Consider.

Ther are huge chuncks from the SHIP itself floating around, the explosion doesn't completely annihilate the ship into nonexistense. When a ship is cracked by the explosion, it opens many passages directly into space. Yes, the explosion burns a lot of stuff but also after the explosion, escaping atmosphere drags bodies from passages and shoves them into empty space.

Imagine trying to fly through a debris area and colliding into bodies... *thump* *thump* *thump* Oh, by the way; could it be possible to have a clinking sound of metallic debris hitting your craft when you're flying through a debris zone?

"What you hear?" "Nothing but the rain..."

Are the BSG converters going to put it into the game? I can hardly wait to see... I mean, hear.

But we so need to get every Shivan fighter/bomber at least to release one or two little Shivans into the space. Perhaps they could even use a little beam weapon against their ship's destroyer...

[pecenipicek]

that was beyond creepy...

Something like that can definitely be done using the ship-create SEXP.

[Scooby_Doo]

I'd also like to see the option of having persistant debris.  Something like from wing command prophecy, hulls stay around crackeling and burning.

[Colonol Dekker]

Starlancers debris sytem is better in my opinion, FS ships already split/chunkify and have sparkage. All we gotta do is speed up the blasts, add a flash (sun code maybe somehow ) and make debris persistant and slow i down slightly..

what do you guys think?

[Scooby_Doo]

The only problem is they go boom with lots of explositions, but then theres nothing, just a few large polys floating around before they disappear. I was thinking of something more like goes boom possibly tearing itself into large chunks and multiple smaller crackling explositions going off for minutes.

[Colonol Dekker]

Well its just a case of making a large single debris lod, A "husk" if you will. And adding smaller chunks parallel to it.  I'm sure this is easier than we a led to believe.

There must be something wrong with my brain, I instantly said "aw" after reading that.

[Colonol Dekker]

Agreed
