Uh... okay..............

With any luck ZmaN can send me the DVD with the ISOs for FS1, FS2, and FSO within this week. I am going to burn the ISOs to CD after that...

Does anyone know how to take off the limitations on FS2C? Or is it hard-writen into the installation?

[IPAndrews]

I'm going to have a mess with this for BHX. I quite like the idea of throwing in some big capship battles where you get to control something more influential than a fighter. I may even see if I can allow the player to order ships around like a strategy game. Don't know which approach I'll take yet.

[Bob-san]

Hmm, sounds pretty good!

Is there a way to classify a player's allowed ships by their rank? So, a Rear Admiral can use any fighter or any cap ship up to corvette?

[Mars]

Do you have any idea how hard it is to become a Rear Admiral? I only got that in my old pilot file in FS1, three computers ago.

[Snail]

Easy. Create a mission, put it in a campaign, and put in an event:

Code: [Select]

When
True
Do-Nothing
(Repeat Count: 100000
Interval Time: 1
Score: 50000

[Bob-san]

I know how hard it is to get promoted.

I am a Lieutenant JG in Colossus, after playing it over about 10 times!

Some interesting little facts...

My primary hit percentage is about 27%.
My secondary hit percentage is about 53%.
I am a triple ace.

Yes I know how hard it is to even get Lieutenant. I am not yet there, and hopefully my FS2C pilot files will transfer smoothly to FS2 and FS2O.

[Colonol Dekker]

Its not hard if you play it on Hard or Insane.......... :

[Bob-san]

Hard is my normal mode. If i want to get through it fast and easy i put it on medium... LOL.

I think I got 1 SD Ravana kill... that was my best kill to date.

[Snail]

Lol, for some reason it says I have 513 Shivan Comm. Node Kills.

I believe it is because I was using a few MODs, and didn't change pilot.


BTW, on my other pilot, I have 322 kills, primary hit 2%, secondary hit 82%

82% because of my stupid Retail cheat: Load up with Rockeyes and fire madly at anything that moves in nebula (with weapon cheat, of course).

[Bob-san]

LOL I had a 620 kill count or so... Lieutenant J.G. and over 100 Loki and Herc Mk.I kills. I am very happy with a 27% primary hit percentage.

[Snail]

2% Primary Hit persentage

Probably caused by my errand shooting into nothingness because of the pretty SCP effects. :

[Colonol Dekker]

Are we talkin multiplayer? On multiplayer i had about 24% primary accuracy, 67% secondary and Grr..........I cant remeber the rest, Why didnt PXI release the server backups,..



It makes me cry 

[Snail]

Err... I only played one multiplayer mission before it began to display the 'you have custom tables installed' screen.

On that pilot I had 32% Primary and 55% Secondary. I used a lot of Tempests in that one mission.

[Bob-san]

OK back to topic... anyone willing to script that cruiser for me?

[Unknown Target]

Probably not, no. Most people are busy with their own projects.

[OMFG PWNT]

if you want to become admiral fast then do this:
go to a new fred mission and add a cain, put its initial health on 1%, give intital orders play dead, go to the score section on ship editor (it should read 150), change it to 50000000, save it as a campaign mission, play on medium and kill it. your an admiral

[Mars]

That's not the point... the point of becoming an admiral in SP is to prove you have no life outside of FS, or have been playing for the better part of a decade.

[Snail]

Or you could just make an event that returns true and set its score to 2039472346375637463765236752.

[Unknown Target]

Why? What's the big deal about ranking in the game?

[Bob-san]

UGH This really isn't about gaining ranks...

This thread is about making a viable mission with player(s) in control of a weapon, but not control of the ship they're on.

We all know that you can have control over NAV and WEAPONS on a cruiser, corvette, destroyer, possible a juggernaught, and quite basically any other ship featured in Freespace, Silent Threat, Freespace 2, Freespace Open, and any customized ship.

I still want to know if a multiplayer campaign will allow for a person to be out of control of a ship and in control of a weapon system.
