I am now testing GTC Ticonderoga in the game.
I decided to put some Cyclops torpedo turrets into it.
I can not understand for diference between Gun turret and Missile turret.
Modelview32 has some entries for Gun turrets and Missile turret,
and they are convertable each other.
However, the gun turret can fire missiles with no problem.

Are there some differences between Gun turret and Missile turret?

Launching Cyclops torpedoes!
Fighting with torpedoes is very interesting!
However, I also love beam cannons.

I do not use the Missile turret feature in ModelView. In my experience, all gun turrets WILL work as missile launchers. You only have to modify a P to an S to convert it into a missile turret. The last sentence refers to the tables.

The primary / secondary turret thing could be a leftover from FS1.....

[karajorma]

It is. In FS1 there was a difference but in FS2 you can put missiles in what the pof calls a gun turret and visa versa.

OK, and what do you think of that weird Fenris?
Vise Versa?

I think that's how the leviathan should have been.
I would have made the "head" lower than the neck than higher, tho, if you know what I mean.

[karajorma]

Seen it before. Loved it then and time hasn't changed my mind

GTC Ticonderoga lokk like  Nemezis but litle smaller:D

 I set missel turets in tables by change this PBanks to SBbanks ( in description of trruet ) it geves  in FRED oportunity to change weapon to any missle that i want. ( see in fred Deimos turrets and you will know what im talking about )

Hamano, you should try your hand with the Iceni, looks like you make wonderful works when it comes to upgrading FS ships...

[Johnmike]

It's be cool if there was a release of upgraded capital ships.  Like shooting torpedoes.  Perhaps an multiplayer option?  That's be awesome.

Or flip the head 180 degrees....  which would pretty much be the same thing I think.

[Nico]

yeah, excepted it would be upside down

[magatsu1]

would look better upside down.

[TrashMan]

Looks great...Alltough it's missing ...something..
Can't put my finger on it...maby it's the front..it looks longg and flat and on the back end you have two BIG towers.

You might wanna try putting some  small extrusions/towers/fins on the front section

[color=cc9900]No it doesn't. And if it did, I'm surprised that you of all people would complain about flat expanses.[/color]

[TrashMan]

Hmm...flamewar? Nahh...

*ignores Odyssey and he goes away*

*shouts* - MY SHIPS ARE GREAT!...You're just jeloaus!
*whispers and strokes his ships* "My preciousssss!"

Hamano:

Is there a difference between this version of the Ticonderoga and the version you gave the Terran-Vasudan War Project?

Are you planning to make the main turret a rotating submodel?

[Hamano]

Thanks,
There is no difference between gun turret and missile turret virtually in FS2.

Goober5000,
Its main hull mesh is exactly same as I sent.
Things related turrets are changed.
I changed shape of turrets and arrangement of turrets. I also added some new turrets.
It will be downloadable when done.

All turrets on topside and downside are made as rotational in Modelview32,
however, I didn't see it is rotating. Why?
On the other hands, the radar dish rotates correctly.

[StratComm]

You have to set the rotational submodels for multipart turrets, though to be honest it's been so long since I messed with them that I couldn't walk you through it if I tried.

[Goober5000]

Woomeister made the main bottom turret rotational for us.  What he did was to delete the stationary turret and import the rotational turret from the Fenris model.
