So is there a ship with more than 8 guns but less than 16?

[asyikarea51]

But seems that there are "only" 8 of them.The others are covered,I see barrels.

Two guns to one barrel?

No offense intended, if I accidentally caused any...

[Snail]

The jump from 8 to 16 seems a bit abrupt, no? And it is 2 guns to one barrel.

Hey, do the Durja, Serpent and Kahlan have higher quality textures? The old ones were really low quality.

[Mobius]

2 guns on a barrel,ok,but the barrel is a regular cilinder...

Got the problem?

[Snail]

Also, its missile banks are plain metal (no bank textures).

[asyikarea51]

I still like the current Keres - I don't mind two guns to one barrel. Besides, the Keres gun barrel is kinda big IMO. It has to be sixteen guns...!    I wonder what a decent mid/high-poly one would look like. 

But I do agree on the missile rack textures...

Haha, I've never actually flown the Alves. I've only flown the Keres in a fighter-test mission. Unfortunately the Shivan/Ancient ships were missing dockpoints so I couldn't reload them...

[Mobius]

The actual keres is Ok,but like the Horae its barrels look...strange.Only this needs fixing.

Also, its missile banks are plain metal (no bank textures).

That was Venoms fault when he made the texures. I did point it out to him at the time.

[Snail]

You blame venom for a lot of things.

Though it is his fault.

[asyikarea51]

The Keres for some reason is an exception case in my book... I dunno why I don't care if the launch tube textures aren't there.

Yet I tend to be meticulous when it comes to assigning gunpoints to things... hopefully the new Keres gets the textures right...

Hey Woo, someone mentioned Horae, that reminded me that you worked on R2 SOC fighters/bombers addon pack.
What is the status of SOC pack? I hope that it will be release soon after R2 (which we all know won't be anywhere soon ).

[Woomeister]

I'll probably redo them with cockpits before I finnish off their pof data. I haven't touched those in a while.

[Snail]

Woo, I would like it if you could give us a comparison of the specs of the Erynies compared to the Alves and Keres. It would be nice to compare old tech to new tech.

Mmm... And do that with the Mihos and the Myrmidon. I want to see if it's superior...

[Woomeister]

You wouldn't be able to tell by the stats alone. Our stuff is designed to go up against our weapons, and uses armour tables to change damage values depending on weapon classes.

[Snail]

Well without the armor would it be superior to the Myrmidon? I don't see the point of replacing the Myrmidon if the Mihos sucks.

[Woomeister]

Like I said, comparing the stats is pointless since the engine was rebalanced. If the Mihos has lesser stats it doesn't mean that the Myrmidon is superior to it since this isn't retail FS2.

SomeLieutenantGeneral.No SOC ships n R2,no Ancient ones.

Why?It remains a new fighter.

[Snail]

This is something that bugged me in lots of sci-fi films. Why replace regular bullets with lasers if they do less damage?

Why replace something that is 'old' with something that is 'new' but is less effective?

Woo, are all ships in Inferno smaller than normal FreeSpace? Because I saw the old SF Serpent and it was huge compared to a lot of the ships around it.

[Woomeister]

The Serpent and some R1 ships were a bit too big. All Terran fighters are scaled better as they nearly all have cockpits now.

[Snail]

So they are more realistic, or are they like retail FS2 ships?
