...I feel pretty n00bish right now.
How could you figure that out by experience? :confused:
To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow. - Metrodorus of Chios
I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

Hey, I got FS2 in 2000. I wasn't even in to modding until July 2004. A friend told me about it.

But all those discussions are based on the assumption that Volition purposely made beams go through shields.  If they didn't -- if they intended for beams to be stopped by shields -- it changes the discussion quite a bit.

Actually they're mostly made on the assumption that [V] f**ked up but now we have to explain it sensibly :p

Bugs can become part of the canon for a game.  For example, if anyone here has played the Descent series, trichording, which is an essential part of playing any Descent game, was initially an unintentional bug.  Everyone liked it so much, however, that it was kept in the other two games.  Who cares if the shield ineffectiveness was by design or by bug...it's in the game, and that's what matters. :)

I can't remember if it was in FS1 or FS2, but there was a debug cannon. What the hell does it do? What's it there for??

FS1... they used it to test model collisions IIRC... I don't see why exactly though... It acts like the training laser...

On my game it looks like a deep deep deep red version of the Shivan Lasers and with a S-Breaker noise. Geez, what were you, part of the [V] staff???? It also beats the s*** out of the bad guys.
