Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
Actually, yes.

I was inside the hull (thanks to the non-collision thing that happened when the Lucifer jumped in), and it was either as I tried to enter the fighterbay, or maybe I entered it and then bumped into the wall, but the collision annihilated it somehow.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
is freelook possible with a hat switch instead of trackir?

You can. But the behavior is pretty weird and you don't have any freedom like Track IR/Free Track.

oookay...whats Track IR / Free Track? some kind of gaming "helmet" or something? thats what it sounds like

EDIT: answered my own question by looking it up  :P If I had the money to spare for this toy I'd use it solely for FS2....then again thats the only 'simulation' game I own

Might consider changing the name, it's hardly as impressive as the model.

Alternate name is Aurora, but I don't want to change it. Me and my Friend chose that name after day of disagreement. In my opinion, it suits.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
Your call. Just be aware that Anchorage is a not-hugely-remarkable city in Alaska, USA. You sure you don't want something a little more grandiose?

It's like naming the Colossus the Springfield instead.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
Well, if it's acting as a supercarrier / safe harbor sort of thing, Anchorage isn't that bad of a name. It really depends what it does.

Edit:: just because there's a city in Alaska named Anchorage, that doesn't mean that ship is named after the city in Alaska.

And anyway, Colossus is a sillier name.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
"Springfield" could just as well be a reference to the Rifle, you know.

It's not a huge deal one way or another. It's a cool-looking ship no matter what it's called.

On that, there is agreement.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
It's used on the same rule as BP's Temeraire. Anchorage is name of ship of US Navy.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
But what do you think that ship is named after?  :P

Anchorage by itself only returns results for Alaska on Google on the first page.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
Wikipedia lists the Anchorage class of ships as dock landing vessels built between 1965 and 1972, with the last of them being decommissioned in 2003.

[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
Haven't been any screenshots here in a while. I'll post some from a short campaign I'm working on.

If you don't know the significance of "DERP", get on IRC moar! It's an in-joke.











I'm seriously considering renaming it though. It started out as a half-comedy, half-blow-crap-up campaign featuring the Knights Who Say Derp. Since I started, though, it's become decidedly more grim. Since it actually has a plot now I'll need to start thinking about realistic situations.
