I am working on converting some eclipse varients (I call them eclipseII and III) and a few really wierd SSD's. One looks like a stapce station attached to the bottom of a SD but the bottom of the SD has many open bays like to drop cruisers? Anyway I will post a pic when I get these ready for pof'ing and also finished the x-wing varient with the 5th engine underneath and the extra laser guns and rocket pods next to the engine think it's the t-42 or t-47 multi-role fighter..

Um... any particular reason why you're converting really weird and bizarre stuff when there's stuff we actually NEED that has to be done? :wtf:

On the TIE fighters and shields issue...in one of the TIE Fighter expansions, one of those devious Imperial admirals fitted all his fighters with shields...even the basic TIE Fighters.  SO I'd suggest maybe doing up the shield mesh even if your basic tables have the shield set at 0.

Yeah, Admiral Zaarin (sp?) fitted his TIE Fighters and TIE Interceptors with regular shields.  He was a real techno-superiority kinda guy.

I can't believe anyone actually remembers those missions! :eek2: :)

Did not admiral Markov use sheilded Ties beforehand in the mission where you are Gamma 1 and your wingmen try and kill you?

It was only released in what errr... 1995???? THATS SEVEN YEARS!!!

Time flys when you are having fun, well it shows it was a good game anyway.

Yeah, TIE Fighter has to have been the only game that gave me as much enjoyment and immersability as the FS series has.

Sorry Ge, I never was part of the team officially (somehow when things got screwy on HLP a while ago and I lost my MG Avatar and ended up with a SW one) so I really didn't know how to react at first but decided to go with it to see if I could actually contribute (despite my limited abilities). I decided to keep working on things that may prove interesting for the future of SW (but mainly cause I will need them for the time period after ROTJ my crossover story for when the IDA ends up in the SW universe). Prehaps you should remove the SW avatar from me and take away my access to the private forum. I doubt that I could be much use for the current project cause it seems that you all have things well in hand (and I am still learning basics about model problems and converting) I'd only slow your progress down. This does not mean that I do not fully support you guys, just that I don't feel like I could be a very productive member...

  I thank you for a glimpse into that galaxy far far away however...

For the kinds of things I am up to (not just SW but all universes equally) I posted in the main modding forum)...

actually we need a converter too so you can be of some help anyway, the point is that we need specific things (the ships from darksaber's sites) that have to be converted and shared in the team, rather than various ships from various unknown sources that don't fit canon or semicanon SW universe

Give me a list to work off of and that's where I will conventrate on for SW. I think I got some of the varients from there as well... I ws basicly looking for ships other than what you already had in your collective opt to pof file.

I no longer have the link but will look for it (darksaber's opt station right?)

Perhaps a compromise where bumping the engine's power allocation up actually increases the speed semi-significantly?


Just to go back a bit, that would work for the player craft, but AI controlled craft don't alter their energy allocations. It may not be cannon, but you'll probably have to add afterburners to make the game fun. For the SLAM system you could just make this crafts afterburners more powerful than any of the other craft.

Personally (you may or may not care for a eventual users opinion) if the craft did not have afterburners in the SW universe, do not give it to the craft in your mod.  Nothing will turn people off faster than such liberties...

This is a very good point - look at how much we tend to complain ourselves when a game basing upon a book or movie "changes things".

Hm. personally I think boosters should be included. If I'm not terribly mistaken, SLAM Boosters equal something like that.
