AKA "Is this going to work?"

My current crazy anti-juggernaut ship idea is for a corvette-sized ship that can launch an utterly ridiculous number of Helios bombs. Just once for each broadside. Something on the order of 120 or so.

Would I bring the collision-detection system (or anything else) to a grinding halt attempting this?

[Taristin]

I doubt it. It'd be no different than when I order alpha, beta, and delta wings to unload their banks of hornet missiles at a cruiser...

[bfobar]

can helios shockwaves blow up helios missles in close proximity? If so, then this plan may backfire when the entire wodge of missles goes up in a big fireball from 1 good point defence shot or bomb interceptor. Especially if that poor corvette is within the blast radius of them!

Also, 120 3d shockwaves going off within a few hundreths of a second of eachother will probably melt my poor graphics card.

Other than that, it'd look awefully cool.

make a video, i want to see this

I always loved the idea of an Missile-Cruiser or something like this...
But I'm not a good modder/modeller. If I were, I would have made one already, I think

You may be waiting awhile, since I waited to start modelling until now. And the thing still looks like a stolen pair of warp nacelles despite my best efforts.

been there done that

I made an aeolus that had nothing but tempest missiles back when FS2 first came out. That was... interesting.

If I remember correctly, the original Raiden-class corvette from OTT had forward cannon with enough punch to stop a Sathanas in its tracks.

[TrashMan]

LOL...and they call me crazy when I make a 5km long ship that can survive a 1on1 with a sath.....

That looks more like a fighter than a corvette.

's a reason it was called "Over The Top"

See above.

heres the forward view of its sister ship, which has a miostly identical primary hull.

[WMCoolmon]

What mods are these ships in?

[Taristin]

From that view in the first screeny, it looks like one of them starfuries from B5.

That's only what? 20 missiles at once, at most?

[bfobar]

that ship in nuke's post is sexy.

Meh, only a little.

[Starman01]

IMO that ship looks more like inspired from the SW Naboo-Ships (of course if it would have a shiny texture). Nevertheless, it's a a really good model.

Regarding breacking the collission-detection, I not sure if anything has been bumped up in the code, but I managed to receive that by creating some really big asteroid field so that the number of objects in the mission area has become too high (unfortunately to that time I didn't knew that and spend weeks in searching for the error why some fighters are suddenly invulnerable. It still pains me when thinking back )

[karajorma]

It's been fixed in code by Taylor. Collison pairs now update dynamically.

[Nuke]

they will be in the next nukemod release. i still got a few things to do before it comes out though. as for the collision detection, it works fine. i have ways to ensure my geometry is perfect.
