ya, the GTD Legacy, comes out of subspace right in front of those "modified" mjors (Legacy: All craft out of the hanger NOW NOW NOW! *boom*), it was on a campainge i scrapped because i was bored. It was about the Vasudans developing gravity well technology (GVW Anchor), and not sharing with the Terrans. The anchor was actually just a bunch of grey boxes slapped together to make a ship. And most of the wingman died leaving the hanger, and if for some miraculous reason they survive the shockwave, the self-destruct cleanup script will get them.

Hur hur... beams are purdy...

Two gaming moments that will stay with me for ever:

       1) Grabbing the sniper rifle in GoldenEye and zooming in on the unsuspecting guards and

       2) "Gunnery control... open fire"
         
          Boom!
          "Belasarius objective has been NEUTRALISED"

I had seen beams in B5, so I knew what to expect when "Gunnery control, open fire" was said.    

For those who have not seen Babylon 5 and/or In the Beginning movie:

EA Losing 1 (3.5 MB)
EA Losing 2 (4.4 MB)
Minbari attacks EA base (2.9 MB)

Some cool beams for ya.

nope, weapons.tbl -  BFred
i dont have the table here, but it increase its life and smack down her warmup time, and delay time. Those beams fired on their own, vaporizing the Hecate (GTD Legacy) in less then a second, it fired about 5 beams per second after that, keeping the old ones alive, firing at the Hecate's corpse, and then debris. It was sad. I still have the mission, just not the table.

Hehe that would be a cool noise.

I just managed to put 2 BFGreens on the GTD Messana, its funny as hell listening to it power up and try to hit this Moloch, it missed like 5 times and then it went straight through the thing as a Sobek slashed the thing to the "pun" 665th layer of hell.

[bad_weatherman_voice]The forecast for tomorrow's mission calls for partly nebula-cloudy, with a very good chance of shivan beam showers at the jumpnode. GTVA command has also issued a heavy flak alert for pilots passing through Delta Serpentis and Ribos.[/bad_weatherman_voice]
