Yup, they were an Easter Egg once you enable the cheats on FS2, you had to type YARRWALKTHEPLANK or something to make them magically warp in and Flak everything ;)

I still think we should HTL it and put the faces of the SCP team on it for FSO ;)

Also, if you remove the No_Fred tag from the description, you can create missions with fleets of them. Tough as Lucifers, but not quite the Firepower ;)

Nothing new. We've all known about the scurvy Volition brand of pirates on th'open seas.

Actually, if you've played Derelict at all (or JAD2) you've probably seen it in action.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

 
Re: Found a REALLY wierd entry in FS2's ships tbl
Yeah I figured someone would have found out about it earlier... it's not what you call well-hidden. I just wondered what was up with it.

I have played Derelict actually but I'm trying to think about which ship it was.........

HOLD ON!!


(this could be a spoiler alert, so I'll use a cheap trick  ;))

Spoiler:
It isn't the Marie Celest is it? I just thought that was and imported model.

(I think I screwed up on the cheap trick mentioned above.....heh)

Fixed. //-Taris

I thought everyone knew about the Volition Bravos... guess I was mistaken.

Always kinda wished they had a description of it in  the tech room :D

Re: Found a REALLY wierd entry in FS2's ships tbl
Can someone tell me why that's indexed into the translation table?  It's not possible to see that without cracking the VPs on a standard install.
who needs a signature? ;)
It's not much of an excuse for a website, but my stuff can be found here

YARRWALKTHEPLANK

Close, but it's arrrrwalktheplank. It's easy to mess up on the number of r's. :D

This ship actually rather sucks by default. I modified most of its weapons (the Shivan super laser works well for turret08, the Vasudan figurehead) and changed the supercap class to cruiser, so you can give it orders.

 
Re: Found a REALLY wierd entry in FS2's ships tbl
thank you whoever fixed my above post!


It would be very interesting to actually use these ships in a campaign..... I think Derelict was the only one who has, right?

Just Anouther Day (or was it JAD2?) used it to hilarious effect... (knew the destroy-universe SEXP was a bad idea)

Mrah! Spoilers //-Taris
Sorry... :blah:
