The Colossus always destroyed the Hawkwood for me if I hadn't given the ignore-target to my wingmen. My guess is that the beam-free-all is hurt because of the SCP's 'All ships beam-freed by default' thingy.

why don't people read the entire fuqing thread before posting

My guess is that TopAce's guess will turn out to be one of the most ill informed wild arse guesses of all time.

Methinks the original FS missions weren't beam-free-alled by default. The beam-free-all by default thing only works in the SCP, not retail.

I know this, did I sound who didn't? Well, it is still possible.

I'm 90% sure Kaz is referring to a turret FOV bug i've seen sometimes...
It's like some turrets stopped firing in most cases because a bug fix (oh, the irony) was meant to stop beams firing through the model.
I think the Colossus had such problem in that mission as it is positioned around the FOV edge for the main turrets...
In many cases all i got was a bubble turret fire exchange... Meh!

The position of the Colossus hardly matters, she has turrets all around. If she's within range, beams can be fired.

Kazan · **Reply #28 on:** March 13, 2005, 09:22:35 am

zarax is exactly correct - the colossus does not have beam that face directly down topace

people not reading the entire thread to know it was a build specific build are REALLLY annoying the **** out of me

Zarax · **Reply #29 on:** March 13, 2005, 09:25:11 am

Kaz, was it something not much after 3.6 or Bob's shadow3?

Kazan · **Reply #30 on:** March 13, 2005, 09:30:22 am

it was an intermediate build that i don't know the date of offhand

Zarax · **Reply #31 on:** March 13, 2005, 09:52:17 am

Did you try looking for turret fix or something like that?
That build at exactly it as a feature, fixing turrets firing and intersecting with the model.

This thread should really be closed...

The no-fire-through-model code is commented out in CVS anyway.

Zarax · **Reply #33 on:** March 13, 2005, 01:59:20 pm

Ok, so Kazan you should get a newer build and i should shut up

Kazan · **Reply #34 on:** March 13, 2005, 03:01:05 pm

already got one
