Make it red........

[Vengence]

Ok, I'll invite the local Vampire to do his work. 

Oh great, now its Shivan!!!

[Colonol Dekker]

  Oooohh, I likee, ITs quite sith-like now,

11 out of 10 zods..........

[spartan_0214]

with the guns the way they are, they look more like an installation. . .

[Dark Hunter]

That's just the "rest" position. If you look at the Hecate's guns, they are similiar.

[spartan_0214]

I know.... :duh:

Hate to be a killjoy, but unless there's been a major change in the SCP when I wasn't looking, those oct turrets won't work in FS.

FS only supports a max of four (4) firepoints for a turret.  Add more than that, and you get a CTD (in my experience).

Not exactly.  got around that limitation themselves on the Aeolus.  The flankside wedge turrets (flak & AAA) have 6 firepoints each, split in to 2 groups of 3 by creating 2 turret entries in the pof data for each turret submodel.

Idon't understand how to set that up I tryed to do it with other ships but couldn't get it to work.

Assuming you're trying to get 8 firepoints on a turret, when you're setting up the turrets in MODview or PCS, create one entry with 4 firepoints matching up to 4 of the barrels, then make another turret entry using the same base (and arms, if it's a multi-part turret) submodel as the previous turret, but make its 4 firepoints match up to the 4 barrels that you didn't set up on the previous turret.  Then that's it.  When it comes to setting up table, since both sets of firepoints are based off of the same turret submodels, it will use all firepoints associated with it and you don't need to do anything fancy.

[Vengence]

You certainly know your stuff ! Cool, thanks I'll put it to good use. Who knows? I may make a ground breaking TC for FS2 some day!

[BS403]

thanks Trivial I'll have to try that but doesn't the aeolus use two separate turrets for each one in the table?

[Trivial Psychic]

Nope.  The turret entries in the table reference the turret submodel.  Since both entries in the pof are attatched to the same submodel, the one table entry will draw on them both.

I don't feeling like making a new topic so I'll do this here:

I have remade an old skin to essencially bring back a model from the dead. My Lightning -class Destroyer.


The Lightning is NOT a FS Universe ship. I made this ship LONG ago but the original main body skin was lost so I had to recreate it from memory. Here goes the plot:

The Lightning is a long range fire support destroyer utilizing long range cruise missiles (these missiles are HUUUGE!) to bombard targets from afar. When the missiles near their intended target, they split into multiple warheads and attack the opposing ship's entire hull rather than one specific point. If the Lightning is forced into close combat, it utilizes it's 2 side mounted launchers to attempt to drive away foes. However where there is lightning, there is Thunder. The Lightning Destroyer carries a full compliment of Thunder heavy fighters within its fighter bay. But alas, the Lightning's most notorious ability is that it is the largest ship in the galaxy that can enter a planet's atmosphere and hover above the surface! At 1.7km, it is the only ship that size that can accomplish this feat. The only other 'Human' ship that can accomplish that is the 800 meter long Gale Stike Carrier.

The cool thing about this model is that it looks that good and has a poly count of only 7500!

Imagine that: a 1.7km long ship hovering right above your head. Thats big.
Speaking of big... here is a size comparison of my non-FS fleet and notice each ships similarities to one another:

  I wantz....................

[Vengence]

Not until I put them into a campaign.

[Colonol Dekker]

Not until I put them into a campaign.

Hurry up then, 

[Vengence]

I just started FRED a few days ago so it will take a long time .

[Colonol Dekker]

Learn quick, or i'll have to help J00..........

[Vengence]

I HAVE DONE IT!!!!!! I have put my first capital ship into FS2 and boy is it BIG! It is my Hurricane V-Class Heavy Cruiser and it kicked my butt in one blast! Time to see it fight Sathanas to make sure its guns are really working

[Colonol Dekker]

Yay, another modder is born................Well evolved i guess.


Regardless, Vengence is now up for grabs by any project !!


*waits for stampede*

[Getter Robo G]

Any??? (Becareful with your words!)

   QUACK!!!

 

[Colonol Dekker]

LMAO!
