That'd be feckin awesome.

An invisible ship dozens of km's 'up' with 2 huge beam-cannons sweeping across the surface of the planet and you trying to guide dozens of transport ships through a ****load of fighters and swarms of space-to-ground bombs.

actually, we already thought that through and have a plan that will not only keep the AI from hitting it (in theory) but also make it appear much more like water upon impact

Lose the space bombs - they'd burn up in the atmosphere, and be goiong way to fast (because of gravity) to be usable in a game situation - other than that, well, let's say it's even more fun to play than to discuss

Well, while we don;t have a splash sound or animatin yet (in fact, we haven't figured out how to do it quite yet) you most assuredly don't go clunk You go under, start taking serious damage and either get out again, or die.

You could use the SSM and a bunch of Tempests.

You could make it so if you die under the water, it runs a special movie showing a small explosion in the dark depths of the water, an escape pod shooting up past the camera to the surface, then a pilot sat on top of the pod eating some emergency rations and watching the sunset.

Real nice one there, Flipside. Welcome to the highlights!

So, you guys need a FREDder or what?

Say, what's under the water? I don't suppose you could get some kind of particle emmission underneath it to simulate being under water could you?

Excellent stuff btw, really excited about this I am!

[FreeTerran]

hey realy nice could you share this with us ?

You were serious? Awesome! We're always on the look out for fresh mea... err...talent . Registration at F2S is essential, because that's where we're hosted. I'd say you've been in the community long enough to know what makes a good FREDder, so I think we can forgo the traditional sample mission . I'll PM you the internal password, and get you set up with the OR VP and a mission outline as soon as you're ready

Great to have you aboard

Not necessarily. If Shivans were smart (and I think they are) I'd say that 'space bombs' for planetary bombardment would be nothing more and nothing less than large asteroid chunks dropped indiscriminately. You get more bang for your buck, as it were. Asteroids are free and large one will create huge areas of devestation.

[kasperl]

an idea for under the water, make a place with lot's, and lot's of random firing thingy's at certain points, and make those thingy's make a sound of wirling water, and have it gives damage and a major push/pull.


am i making sence here?

[Beowulf]

Most impressive! Well done, keep up the good work!

[Sheepy]

kasperl .... no

Looks sweet btw

[Hunter]

Going underwater seems a bit extreme, not to mention a real workload.  Play Aquanox eh?

[Star Dragon]

Does this mean Twisted Infinities will involve gravity accurate ground targets? meaning buildings and vehicles thta act like they re moving on teh ground, or at least don't look like they are floating in space?

   Can this be used as a basis to revivie the Battletech mod Combat Federation? Or is ShadowwolfIH already a member and this is a precurser?

[Flipside]

LOL Well, at least we promise, no real torpedos, maybe lots of wuvly fishes though

more than a 100 gigaton nuke?

[Lightspeed]

they use beam cannons, which has proven to be rather effective

Gigaton nukes would be expensive. Deoribiting a 500m asteroid would render the planet uninhabitable for a while. Combine that with some crazy beam action et voila! surface devestation on the cheap.
