Author Topic: AFTERBURNERS!!!  (Read 7247 times)

0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.

ya know, i been thinking, seeing that inferno has such HUGE ships, and battlefields are therefore VEY LARGE, shouldn't the fighters be able to get around it a bit quicker than they actually do?

I mean, an afterburner should propel a fighter at 3 times (or more) its base max speed. Right? I say this because some ships(especially bombers-i know theyre big and heavily armored, but they SHOULD be able to pace heavy assault fighters) have a max MAX speed of barely 50% higher than their base max velocity.

Does this make any sense?

The AI can't handle high speeds very well, and if your ship is too fast you overshoot the warp effect when you try to jump.

 
really?

It worked fine for me when i modded the aries class from the original FS2.

Why wouldnt it work anywhere else? Im not talking a max afterburner velocity of, like, 1000, but something between 200 and 300.

Roughly.

The AI will start colliding more with faster speeds, and so it looks foolish, also they have trouble getting aspect lock at those speeds as they jump past their target before they do.

yeah, sorry bout that. guess i got a bit worked up over that.

As for being a noob, im still prety new with the whole forum scene. i used to have a girlfriend who spent damn near every waking hour at a computer, submitting posts and reading stuff. So im still a bit leery, as i dont want to get addicted to this sort of thing. Not that its not fun, mind you... but she took it waaay over the top, ya know?

Anyways, ill know for next time:drevil:

Nah the Harpy is usually fine, the Succubus has to use heat seekers though. It rarely can get aspect lock :D

The Succubus can't really get aspect lock, and getting aspect lock on the succubus is very hard too.

 
The.....succumbus...? The Harpy...?

I dunno what u guys are talkin bout there, but what i was getting at is most heavy bombers have a max velocity of something like 100, if that. I can't remember exactly, havent had much chance to play around lately, between this damn cold and college assignments, but its something like that.

Yeah most heavy bombers are slow, except for Shivan and Ancient ones.

With the right guns, the Ancients die quite quickly. Though they seem to be tougher, they wouldn't of been when you get the right equipment.

And, the Ancients are dead. Again. Woomeister killed them. That evil Woomeister. Who does he think he is? The Shivans?

Funnily enough I never used cheats in FS2 retail, and I only use them now for debugging purposes.

Just think, Woomeister killed two species: the Ancients and the ***********************s. He dropped them both in the virtual recycle bin on his computer. ARE THE VASUDANS NEXT? Find out in Inferno: R2!

Actually I only killed 1 of them, some of the Ancient stuff still is in there, you just need ships and weapons to enable them. Ancient species support is still in there, though it needs to be tidied up a bit.

I also still have the R1.5 Ancient fleet. ;7
