Indeed, that is all it does. I just like having the cockpit as long as it doesn't kill me with obstuctions.

Usually I don't mind cockpits, but in the case of FS (and maybe X2/X3:Reunion), or for uniformity reasons, I'd rather play without them. Like playing my favourite arcade simulator, which is a vice versa case - almost everyone I see plays the game without the dashboard, while I'm one of the few who does for realism's sake. It's fun to watch the speedometer, tachometer and boost gauge hit the high levels anyway... pchow! pchow!

My two cents.

Meh, let's get off this topic, I'll just end up repeating myself.

Ok then mister. I would preview this mod out of my observations, but given the fact that I'm on the team (through a merger ) I can't say much given that I have seen and read more than some of you . A good cook doesn't spoil the food .

IWar 2 is a nice example of how to do a cockpit. The only problem with it was that it was the same for every ship.

[Vengence]

That, more or less, kills the meaning of having multiple ships with a single looking cockpit. Unless the ships had the same exact cockpit in the first place, then what is the use for such a thing anyways?

[asyikarea51]

X2:TT had different cockpits based on fighter class, and some variations were made based on the owning species. The problem with that IMO was that the cockpit variations weren't really... varied enough (e.g. two heavy fighters from two different species - the cockpit looks different only when you looked at the floor), and the cockpits weren't uniform (many of the capital ships/transports, and some of the fighters were just hackjobbed to use the exact same cockpits despite belonging to different species - it was only one line in that game's version of a ships.tbl anyway).

Ah, I truly miss commanding a destroyer! And I hate it at the same time. Can you imagine the number of times friendly frieghters and ships kept ramming my massive ship?

But being so big has its strong points. I was engaged by some Xenon fighters and my gunners sucked so I took control and smashed the fighters against my hull. Then a Xenon destroyer came in and so I decided to have some fun and ram it, eject into my Nova, and get out of there. I, of course, saved before then but it was so fun! Especially seeing the speedy Xenon ships run into their own topedoes!

How do cockpit views help?

They look double plus cool

Heh... a new stuff

[Snail]

Was the ugly re coloration really necessary?

[shiv]

It's only a test.

[Mobius]

You can always use freespaceking's new texture

[shiv]

Which texture exactly? Could you give me a link?

[Mobius]

Go to our Inferno Night Cafè^TM, there's a thread created by freespaceking. He has upgraded the Herc III, the Ursa and the Bakha.

is it just me, or it looks like the Terran Wraith?
