The SCP has already added the "tagged only" flag to its list of features.

[Zarax]

Yes, but i was thinking about TAGging a ship automatically firing a fire-beam at the tagged ship more than specialized turrets...

[diamondgeezer]

Hmm... reckon next time I play the one with the Iceni running the blockade at the Knossoss, I'll take a bank of TAGs to see what happens

[Jiggyhound]

a perseus, with morning star and kayser, plus a bank of rockeyes and rockets always did it for me.

rocks helped with the early on kills, while tempests let you go the distance coupled with the morning star to keep players disrupted and in place. Ah those were the days, im gonna reinstall FS2 one of these days, i miss the highly skillful multiplayer team dogfights. I think the last couple I had were with players like lightspeed, askrak, while i played with Quantum Delta the odd time (a true great, outturned my persy in his erin just about everytime ). Cept' thesedays, i no longer have 56k, but leet adsl! MWAHAHAHA


ahhh, the good old days......

You know what? I think if you turned on cheats and then destroyed a ship that was not supposed to be destroyed (like the Icini whenever you find it inside the Broadacia and the jump node and knossos) and then you used the "destroy ship" command, all of a sudden a comm would come on from command saying "Alpha 1 is a cheating bastard! get him!" and the iff of all your ships turned on you. that would be hillarious...

The louvre doesn't know what it's missing..........

[Havock]

i know what is missing on that picture.

beams and flak, every fs2-pic should have em

[Janos]

Durr okay durr?


Hmm. This is actually quite fun. From here on I will solve all FS-canon debates with my increibly MS Paint skills.

[Zarax]

Wow, we need to move this thread to hard light art...

[Havock]

next up on the paintjob: the colossus vs sathanas battle.

[Liberator]

Exactly how does an Ares kill a Deimos?.

Primaries are useless, and it has an admittedly vast, but still limited amount of secondaries.

[Woolie Wool]

REARM REARM REARM

If you just rearm every time you run out of missiles, you'll be able to take the Deimos out..eventually.

[.::Tin Can::.]

Those drawings are quite uh... profound...

Ever heard of the Trebuchet?

And the drawings...

[.::Tin Can::.]

Yeah, but it sures hell wont kill a Deimos.

[Ghostavo]

If an unlimited number of Trebuchets won't kill a Deimos nothing will.

[.::Tin Can::.]

An unlimited number, yes, but if your a bomber and you have cyclops torpedoes or helios's...

[Janos]

Silence, heretics! Ares can kill everything. With Trebs.
Actually I don't bother with such stupid things as "Freespace realism" or "dignity".

 The capship flag is really idiotic and stupid. I can't recall the name of a mission, but that one where you fly as Vasudans and defend Aquitane and the Moloch jumps in. I usually cripple the Moloch, but am unable to provide the sensor support Aqu needs to concentrate all firepower into it. So, after Aqu jumps out, I'll hang around with my wingmen. Four Taurets give it full salvoes with Proms and Maxims (?), but do not damage it. But wait! Introduce Trebutchets and The Unlimited Supply Ship! The Abaddon will go down in no time!

Yeah, right. Given that were it a Rakshasa or a Lilith, the primaries could hurt it pass that last 10%.

[/end rant]

[karajorma]

Except that without it play balance goes right out of the window as player repeatedly kill the ships that the game expects to survive. Don't believe me? Just open up the ship and weapons tables and edit out the huge tag.

Watch Freespace missions collapse into a heap of bugs.
