Rahu name inconsistency
on: June 15, 2006, 04:15:38 pm
The Rahu's designation is SSG Rahu, which doesn't make sense since SSG stands for Shivan Sentry Gun. It should actually be SG, which would be in line with GTG and GVG.

This little issue has been around since FS2 was released, but I don't think I have seen it brought up around here before.

As long as the Media VPs have different missions anyway, should the Rahu be changed?

The main Colossus submodel is called souperdouper or something like that. :D

Well the Belial and Trident use SSG and it fits in with GTSG and GVSG.

Ah, so what you mean is it could be just a sentry gun that happens to have an engine and uh, a gas mining thing (a backa, according to the model file). Quite possible. :D

For all we know it could be some sort of interstellar mine field and all Alpha and Beta did was unmine that region of space.

Rahu was originally supposed to have a BFRed, not engines, on the back?

So will it be changed or not?  It makes no difference to anything in the game, and it makes it more internally consistent.  Why NOT change it?

'Cause somebody will complain.
