Good news.

Sid and I are working hard to bring you INF SCP as soon as possible.  Don't ask questions; go drool in anticipation.

kk, but I'd better not run out of saliva. 

[KappaWing]

Rampage's first shot uses the name I assume to be GTC Maelstrom in the escort list. This is a recycled name, as this was the name of the NTF cruiser that appeared in mission 10 of the main campaign.

Also in Rampage's middle shot, the bright solid blue and red colors look very tacky for Freespace.

Aside from those two minor quips,

What !? People are still working on Inferno SCP ? Are you serious ? I thought for sure it was in the same category as Machina Terra, Scroll, and the TVWP.

[DarkShadow-]

This shouldn't sound mean but, well, the Oracle's textures suck (especially in contrast to INF:A). Hope this isn't the final version. Oh, and the Aetna looks like a bunny.

Huh? Machina Terra is coming along very fine.

It is ?

Looking at those screenshots, I got a question regarding the Ezechiel.

Default it has 8, but in Inferno SCP it uses four. What about the four lower gun points? Have they been converted to 1) missile launch barrels, 2) gunpoints simply omitted, or 3) the lower section of the gun pods has been remodeled to cover up the unused tubes or similar?

IMO the Ezechiel's design doesn't have enough secondary gunpoint positions available to make machinerockets a real 'joy' to use (e.g. R1's Hurricane rocket).

And horoscope for the wing names... What if Shivans or rogue Vasudans appear? Would Shivans be given FS1-styled wing names, or...?

Also in Rampage's middle shot, the bright solid blue and red colors look very tacky for Freespace.

I'll second that.  Red and blue running lights are ok, but those stripes are a little tacky and garish.  They're just too bright.

...the way modern fighters have more machine guns and cannon than WWII fighters?

[jr2]

eh, they now have a single ~6 barrel, rapid fire Gatling / Vulcan cannon, instead of 4-8 single barrel machine guns / cannons.  I think they use uranium depleted / HE / armour piercing rounds, too, depending on what they want.

PS You aught to see the F-22 open up.. I saw a clip on Google videos.  It has a port that snaps open to fire, and after it stops, the port closes again. 

[General Battuta]

It is quite a sight to behold.  Mind you, though, the proportion of total firepower provided by the cannon is much less than it once was.  (Not that I'm making fun of its utility - I'm a sim junkie and recognize how vital that beautiful piece of equipment is.)

The point I was trying to make, though, is that number of gun mounts alone is not an indication of strength.  There's much else to consider. 

[T-Man]

Why would Woo turn some of the Inferno fighters into puny fighters by taking away 4 gunmounts and now they have a pathetic 4? This isn't what Freespace 2 and Volition would do. This is the future so ships should be stronger now, not weaker.

More advanced doesent necessarily mean more. More gun mounts mean more space/maintenance and space. If you can replicate the capability of eight old mounts with just four new, then that is much more efficent. If you had a laser that was say 4x the power of the Kayser, then it likely requires 4x the power and 4x the cost of the Kayser. Thus mounting eight of them onto your fighter is not a good idea...unless you like having to wait for your energy to recover after every triggerpress

[CaptJosh]

Precisely. Farther into the future, figure on more powerful weapons, so that the fighters don't need as many of them to do the same job.

Oh yeah, anyone know a plugin like trueView but for truespace6?  I gotta finish this ship.

[Mobius]

Wow...it looks like the Ancalagon, a Shivan superfighter I have intention to create once my modelling abilities are better.

How about the name?

truespace6 has trueview already implemented...or not?

[Tyrian]

Rampage...What is that? 

It's...so...so...beautiful...  *Sob*

[Rampage]

Although lacking the capability to launch warheads, the SB Yali makes up for it with its twin anti-cruiser beam cannons.  Although the bomber has a relatively weak hull, it has a tough shield and good maneuverability.  Interceptor pilots are advised to deal with any Yali threat before their beam weapons reach firing range.

[Tyrian]

When will you release it???

I want that even more than when I first saw the Azeas...

Oh, and is it player-flyable?

*Tyrian really hopes it is...*

[Rampage]

When will you release it???

It will be featured in INF SCP.

Oh, and is it player-flyable?

Idealistically, no.

[Snail]

Inferno SCP on the road again!!!!
