WOuld it possible to make a seeker beam cannon

how it would work
youd have to lock the beam cannon just like a missile on the target

It would have unlimited ammo just like ordinary primary guns

it would have low but continius damage, it would consume energy rapidlly

how it would work, it would act like a very fast missile speeding towards its target but it wouldnt be fooled by countermeasures, it would also follow the target that you are locked on, remember its still firing a continius beam


Feedback welcome

No. And if it were, you'd have to make it yourself-people don't do others' ideas for them here.

[Bishop Gantry]

Cheeses you dont have to bite my friggin head of for asking if something is possible... I just wanted to know if it was possible in theory to do it within the limitations of FS2,

 not that anyone should start doing one

Sorry, not biting your head off, just warning you not to hold yer breath. I've been looking for most of the summer for a willing modder or free copy of TS. They just... don't do other people's stuff.

You'll KNOW when I'm biting your head off. I expect you haven't been on the VBB recently if you think I am... puts you in perspective.

Well usually my 20 posts or so would give that away

[Warlock]

Ahem...easy fellas  lol

In theory you COULD do it...in a way.

1: Model a new missile..basically a thin tube
2: Texture it in whatever color you want the beam
3: Give a missile trail effect of the same coloration and long enough to give the right illusion
4: It WOULD be affected by CM
5: It would have ammo...but you could set it up so it's such a high payload the effectivness is unlimited


or do it the correct way,..break into Interplay, steal the source code to fs2 and redo it to allow this weapon    lol

Sadly there's only but so much you can do,..but I like the Anime effect of this one

Thats what I wanted to hear Warlock

a reasnoable explenation that it is possible to create a seeker beam weapon for FS2

[QXMX]

I know somebody did curved beams a while back.  You could try searching the forums for that.

I think that was just one of Ace's space-crack renders...

No, it was an actual screenshot from StrykeSpace(tm): Where the universe isn't curved, it's bent.

Well, if you want a legal version of truespace, here.
This is offered by PCPlus magazine.  And if it weren't legal I'm sure the makers of truespace would have bombed on them long ago.
BUT, it's TS1.0  (Obviously why they don't care)

Have fun, and use something like go!zilla to dl it because 'disk 3' kept on screwing up on me during download.

You might also try doing things yourself. If you actually put out some effort and looked for these things, not to mention the wonderful tutorials that some of the more skilled people here have made, you would have all the tools you need to make your own MODs. If you aren't willing to devote time and energy into your own ideas, why should anyone else?

[Stryke 9]

How 'bout posting links, man? Those tutorials are excellent, but hard to find (I remember when I was lookin' for them... never did find but one...)

[Setekh]

Hey Stryke, gentle tip: shut up. If you aren't encouraging a positive environment around here, you aren't smiled upon; if you're doing the opposite, we'll show you the door if you keep it up. And don't argue about whether my interpretation is correct or not, because we are your gods here and what we say, goes.

Now, onto the weapon! Top idea, but unfortunately I think we may need the source for it. Which is a real pity. I may get in touch with Adam or Dave and see what's happening over there.  

[YodaSean]

Is it possible to make a curved beam?

[Setekh]

I, uhhh, really doubt that...
