it's not.

it's the other way round, the Kayser is a powerful, yet failed attempt to copy the weapon.

Read up on your tech:

"The GTW UD-8 Kayser is the result of an intensive study of Shivan weapon technology. The Kayser emits focused waves of subatomic particles that bombard its target. Impact causes the wave function of the particles to collapse and emit extremely intense, zero-point energy microbursts. Standard policy dictates that weapons of this magnitude be mounted only on bombers, but it has become common practice for field technicians to mount them on fighters."

Lightspeed, have you ever put your eyes on the Flaks?
Shivans aren't supposed to have it, at least not the same way as GTVA... *wink* *wink*

[Lightspeed]

I've thought of that, too

So... any idea what the special thingy is about? anyone?

I rigged the Terran Turret to use the lamprey trails you made, and it was halfway decent, but I don't really know the table coding...

That's just a trail, no projectile as such.

Cool, reminds me about my shivan flak attempts...

Looks to much like fireballs for my liking though, as if they were fired from a catapult or something in some medieval siege... they need to be "sharper" projectile shapes... not round.

Looks more like the Bug "but" plasma AAA from "Starship Troopers".

Later!

exept that was blue

[Setekh]

I love it. *loads Vapulas on all his fighters* Oh, and welcome to HLP, GeistKrieger!

Just looking at the pics I'm not too sure about the yellow colour, but I'll have to try it when I get home. Otherwise, they look great. Methinks the lack of symmetry is fine, although the wobbliness looks a little odd.

[Lightspeed]

projectile speed is 700 m/s, actually I was aiming for an animated 'swirly' thing, but the high speed kinda fakes this with it being asymmetric.

[Sheepy]

I dunno whats causing it but after a re-install of FS2 and various bits and bobs from the SCP (FS2open, media VP, your weapons, planets and some explostion ani's). Now whenever i try and loadout my ship, i get kicked to desktop without any reasoning ... advice?

[Lightspeed]

Looks like a "file not found". No idea what's missing on your install though

[Zarax]

Lightspeed, would you mind if i ask you to make a few weapon effects for a work of mine?

[Bobboau]

run a debug build, if anything is wrong it will catch it

Depends on:

a) your patience (may take a long while as my main focus lies elsewhere)

b) that work of yours - If it looks promising and interests me, i'll be more likely willing to help

[Zarax]

Thanks.

a) No problem, unless an horde of FREDers jumps from nowere to finish all missions :-).

b) I'll mail you the concept and some WIP samples...

[.::Tin Can::.]

Im a FRED'er, and I'm jumping out of nowhere! Does anyone need assistance? I'm all over that, although I got a MOD in the TVWP going and possible recruitment from the 158th Banshee Squadron.... so then, what do you guys require of my casual FRED-ness?

[Zarax]

Hey TC, if you wanna some work Rise of GCA can use some help...

[J3Vr6]

Hey, sorry for the late questions but I just got my computer set up to play.  Using the instructions that Karajoma said about making a FS_Open subdirectory in FS2, would I be able to put these weapon files in there too and FS will see them if I select MOD in the launcer to point at that subdirectory?

Also, does this break the original campaign?

Thank you, drive thru.
