I think we'll also see if we can make some good capship weapons so that T-V war capships aren't sitting ducks.  Methinks ship-to-ship torpedoes would work nicely.

Sounds good, Goober. Inferno did something similar, and it worked pretty well.

I second that!! Me loves torpedoes, quite fun to chase down and kill.
I suggest also having a small torpedoe boat, like a big bomber, that carries about 4 of them buggers.
There is nothing more thrilling in space-sims than watching a cap ship making a broadside torpedoe attack on another cap ship. It´s visually stunning!!

you seem to forget we're NOWHERE near FS1's tech level.

    Unless said torpedo barrage is apart of a movie called "Wing Commander", then it's generally lame because the movie itself is awful in the extreme. (What space sims havetorpedo barrages anyway?)

In Fs1, all capital ships had were blob turrets. Actually, blob turrets are kinda powerful. In mission 4 of my campaign, three Aeolus cruisers attack a Deimos (6 blob turrets total), and the blobs are kinda powerful. They bring down the Deimos' health  fairly quickly (compared with primaries), and one hit (or so) from a large blob takes out a Deimos turret.

I always pictured them as weak...until I looked closer. They still suck on most ships that have them spread out. They still are basicly just fillers.

Anyways, back on topic. If blobs and a few missle launchers were all Fs1 had, what will TVWP have?

Little kinetic pea-shooters? Or just downgraded versions of the good ol' blob turrets?

Oh, and I can't wait to see the ML-16's predecesor.

EDIT: The ML-2...jams every five shots...does 1% damage to a light fighter every twenty shots...drains all energy in five seconds...

Hopefully not that bad.

[Goober5000]

Read the FAQ thread - everything is proportional.  The ML-16 is a lot more powerful against a fighter with a fraction of the Apollo's hull strength.

Starlancer, for one. Torpedoes are its main weapons. No beams.
But chances are you haven´t even heard of this game, as it happens with many others. It got a bad rep because of the producer company, Bill Gate´s finnest.
You should try it, it has one of the best uses of torpedoes in games that i ever seen.

Are you trying to tell me there are no Terran Huge Turrets in T-W war? What did they shoot eachother with? Vacuum?

No seriously, the weapons I posted above are well balanced. (for shielded ships at least..you might wanna reduce the damage of the normal and anti-bomber turrets)

The terran/vasudan turret fires fast and travels fast doing small damage.

The anti-bomber turret fires slow, travels slow, but packs a punch.

The Terran/Vasudan Huge turret fires VERZ slow, can target onlz capships and deals a lot of damage..

I suggest you try them on for size...

Allso, you think you could use one of these:

What is this - a bring and buy sale?



And if you want a hint, absolutely no laser and plasma weaponry is mounted on ANY capital ships.

[Taristin]

...yet.

[Blitzerland]

Sounds cool.

Nice Destroyer screenie, but I wish you hadn't shown me it. The surprise of seeing it for the first time is gone...

Oh well. Looks awesome! Exactly like I pictured it would.

[Night Hammer]

Im not sure if that is in TVWP

[Taristin]

It's not.



And BTW; NH, get on ICQ!!!

[TopAce]

The second picture looks the most convincing, it fits the pre-FS1 era the best.

[Blitzerland]

Oh....whew.
The holiness that is TVWP is still...holy.

*Drives steak through TrashMan's heart

DIE, HEATHEN! DIE! BURN IN HADES FOREVER! HA, HA, HA!



Go Terran Vasudan War Project! Hoo-ha-ha!

Eh?

Humanity mastered subspace and construction of large speships and it hasn't STILL develpoed a laser gun??????

What the hell are they using????  
And the TW war lasted 14 years...not 100.. the tech difference cannot be too big..

Oh...allmost forgot - if you want those ships for your campaigh, get them here:

HERE

and I posted a wrong pic of the first one - it actually has an extra hangarbay on the bottom.

Here, more pics of them:
