It's "Barnard's Star", and I think it's "Dubbe".

Which Luyten is it?

Answer that and you get to ask the next question.

[Knight Templar]

fine.. "Barnard's Star", "Dubbe" and "Luyten-726-BA"






somebody else ask a question that would sound like one of mine...

[CP5670]

Luyten 726-8A
Barnard's Star
Wolf 359
Alphard
Dubhe

The Dubhe and Luyten 726-8A names are hard to read on the map but those are stars in real life. The other two you mentioned are not on the map...

Let me try one...ah I know:

What ship has a turret inside the hull due to a modeling bug, what is the turret's number and approximately where on the ship is it located?

[Knight Templar]

tsk tsk

that doesn't sound like me at all.

[CP5670]

ah well, it's my kind of question instead; let's see if anyone gets this one...

[Corhellion]

Hint CP?

I've been searching through all the .pofs of all the capital ships and freighters...HINT ME!

[Goober5000]

I think you posted this one before...but I forget the answer, and I'm too lazy to do a search...

[StratComm]

GTM Hippocrates, turret 5, on the lower aft section.  There is a turret on the outside starboard face of that component, but the port side turret is placed inside the hull.

I pass on the question, as I am about out of good FS trivia myself.

[Knight Templar]

heh i thought it would be the Demon..  I guess its just bad texturing then.

oh, Stratt, go to the DatDB Privates please... see "FTP Access"  

[Corhellion]

*thinks*

...

...

(!Inferno related Question!) Name 3 Shivan capital ships that you see in Inferno (excluding the Gigas and the Gargant)

Or:

Name all the NTF ships that were destroyed as they ran the jump-node blockades(in the command briefing)

[Knight Templar]

hehehe

*opens up inferno vp*

SD Iblis
SC Raguel
SSD Diablo
SD Kismat
SCv Scylla

oh wait.. that's more than 3... :devil:

somebody else go at the question.

[CP5670]

I'll just give the answer to mine, since nobody has gotten it yet. It is turret29 on the Hatshepsut, which is centered on the upper rear section; I actually posted a thread about it a long time ago. You need to look very closely in Modelview or something to notice it, but it severely inhibits the turret's field of view in the game and makes it act really weird, which is how I found it. Unfortunately, I don't know how to move the actual turret submodel around, so I cannot affect a fix.

I just checked this and you are quite right here too; guess this is another ship with the same problem. Interestingly, the turret4 on the opposite side (which is essentially a mirror of the turret5 side) is fine.

hehheh

That Was Cor's and mine original guess.. well mine was that and the Demon. I'm pretty sure the demon has one of two, unless its just a bad tex job.


Next!!

[CP5670]

I need to check out that Demon more closely then. Here's a similar one: what ship has a subsystem placed well outside the ship model? (this should be easy for HLP veterans with a good memory )

As for the Inferno question, is Inferno even out yet?

*has no idea*

although I know a few mods that do.. hmmm

Inferno? .. soon :thepimp:

Hurry up and finish your camp sucka

[Goober5000]

As a wild guess, the Colossus, since it already has that warp-out error.

*blinks*

Hey, I'm on the Source Code Project staff...

[Corhellion]

Warp...out...error..?

enlighten me about that Goober

Cor

[StratComm]

I'd guess the Shivan gas miner since I can't seem to find any others.  I know you can blow the tank/spinning thing off of those miners, and the engine is behind that, so you can have a target indicator that doesn't point to where the ship is, but I don't know of any that truely have subsystems way outside of their hulls.

Make up a quick mission with just you and the Colossus, with the Colossus cued to depart after a few seconds.  The warp-out is all messed up.

[CP5670]

Ah well, I thought somebody would remember since I posted a thread on this thing as well several months ago. It is the Hatshepsut once again. Look at where the engine02 subsystem is placed. (in fact, I think I found this particular thread; go here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,388.0.html ) The Colossus has one similarity with the Hatshepsut btw; they both have the center point placed in the far back of the ship, so they look very strange while turning.

How about one of you come up with a question this time...
