Gr8.  Now I have to go find which files were modified... ick.

[Scooby_Doo]

To make it really useable in FS2 (as to make it not so uber compared to fs2 fighters).  Change the primary and secondary weapons, speed/afterburner, agility, shielding and hull (probably more entries?) in the tbm file that accompanies each download.  For Saga, they should be reasonably balanced already, mind you they are stronger than sagas counterpart.  Course, this is like comparing a Korean-Vietnam era phantom to the new f-22 

For scale size wise, they should fit in with FS2, as their scaled correctly, for Saga they'll look very big compared, this is due to Origin's original scaling differences.

[Scooby_Doo]

Heavy fighters, you know like the Hercules and thunderbolt

The F-14 Excalibur is an updated version of the venerable Excalibur first flow in WC3.  This version is shorter, a bit wider and engine design has been reconfigured.  It also carries one additional meson cannon.  While not as fast or as agile as superiority fighters, her shields and armor make up for it.


The Excalibur can be found here: http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/Finished_Mods/Finished-Excalibur-12-11-06.vp.rar
This was one of my first models,  it was built off an existing model a long time ago (probably Homeworlds WC mod)

=============================================================================================

The A-2 Raptor resembles the original Raptor in many aspects, it's shape and it's classification as a heavy fighter.  Generically it's called a heavy fighter, while more specifically it can either be a siege fighter or a defense fighter. It can carry a single torpedo and multiple dumbfire or swarmers.  While not as agile as the Excalibur, the Raptor has stronger armor. 


The Raptor can be found here: http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/Finished_Mods/Finished-Raptor-12-18-06.vp.rar
Like the Raptor this was another of my really old models, updated.  Also based on the Homeworld's mod.

[Scooby_Doo]

The KF-18 Kriska is the Kilrathi's version of the Excalibur.  Reasonably fast, heavy weapon payload and good shields makes this an excellent fighter to pilot.


The Kriska can be found here: http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/Finished_Mods/Kriska-01-06-07.vp.rar
The Kriska was scratchbuilt from the original Kriska pictures.

==================================================================================================

The KF-22 Gothhek is the current heavy fighter of the main Kilrathi fleet.  It's neither fast nor agile but it delivers one serious punch and with torpedo capabilities can take on capital ships.  The Gothhek is also equipped with a rear laser turret for additional protection.


The Gothhek can be found here: http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/Finished_Mods/Gothhek-01-06-07.vp.rar
Updated: http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/Finished_Mods/Gothek-06-19-07.rar
Updated, speed reduced from 110 down to 70 where it should have been to begin with.

The gothhek was built from bits and pieces of different models, including Saga's Gothri's main hull, plus quite a bit of scratchbuilt.

[Scooby_Doo]

The F-16 Vindicator is the second generation Vindicator.  No longer a jack of all trades, master of none, it's a heavy fighter with considerable punch.  Not as strong as the Excalibur, but cheaper to produce.


The Vindicator can be found here:  http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/Finished_Mods/Vindicator-01-06-07.vp.rar
The Vindicator was built from HW WC mod's Vindicator and Excalibur.

[takashi]

when i edit the table entry, FRED wont load. so i check the table entry, and its all messed up. did you use spaces, or tabs?

[Scooby_Doo]

I used to use tabs but switched over to spaces, although there are probably tabs that still exist.  For the most part the tables should be column formatted and well spaced (usually).

Which one are you having problems with?

[takashi]

the dralthi 5.

[Scooby_Doo]

Ok try this, if it still causes problems try using the debug FRED and see if it gives you an error message. That'll be more useful.

[takashi]

works now. musta been a human error.

[jr2]

Nope, I think it was prolly the dumb tabs.  I wonder how many problems attributed to general FRED buggyness or unexplained errors are actually caused by those...

[Scooby_Doo]

Using XML would probably help alleviate that problem, but I don't see it being useable in the near future.

[Scooby_Doo]

Siege Class... aka heavy-heavy fighter

A-86 Thunderbolt is the current revision of the classic thunderbolt.  One of the longest line of fighters around and still in the similar role it played back when it was first introduced.  The Thunderbolt now carries dual cloudbursts, quad tachyons and the brand new demolisher cannon, a lighter weight version of the phased plasma cannon.  It can also carry a small torpedo loadout to.


The thunderbolt can be found here: http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/Finished_Mods/Thunderbolt-03-05-07.rar
The thunderbolt was built from the existing model.

=============================================================================

The A-22 Black Widow is one of the heaviest fighter available.  Big and bulky and armed with enough firepower to rip apart anything that gets in it's path.  The Black Widow can carry cloudburst, plasma, tachyon, particle and neutron in two banks each with 4 barrels, for a total of 8 cannons.
Ideal for taking out capital ship defences to allow bombers to freely launch torpedoes against it. 


The Widow can be found here: http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/Finished_Mods/Finished-BlackWidow-03-05-07.rar
Update can be found here: http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/Finished_Mods/Finished-BlackWidow-03-23-07.rar
Updates:

• Misspelled "Plasma" as "Plasmas"

Update: http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/Finished_Mods/Finished-BlackWidow-06-03-07.rar
Update: Fixed slightly misplaced lod levels.

The Widow was scratch built based on a symmetrical version of Privateer 2's Heretic model.


This endth the fighter list (for now). Next up bombers.

[Scooby_Doo]

Bombers:

The B-12 Stalker strike bomber


Stalker can be found here: http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/Finished_Mods/Stalker-03-06-07.rar
Update here: http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/Finished_Mods/Stalker-03-07-07.rar

• Forgot shield animation

Stalker was scratchbuilt from Privateer 2's Karnenan.

[Scooby_Doo]

The KB-10 Pakriss is the kilrathi's heavy bomber.  Slow as a tugboat and cability of withstanding a pounding.  The current line of Kilrathi fighterss and bombers are built completely opposite compared to their Terrian war era ships.  Instead of building in mass and throw-away, they have to now build them that can withstand punishment


The pakriss can be found here: http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/Finished_Mods/Pakriss-01-05-07.vp.rar
The pakriss was built from wc3 bloodfang (surprisingly)

[takashi]

nice. the pakriss reminds me of a seraphim class shivan bomber.

and the stalker reminds me of the athena...

[Titan]

dont you mean a nephilimn?  (instead of seraphim)

[Scooby_Doo]

Gunships

Theres currently only one model available in this class.

Galaxy, which can be described as ultra-heavy bomber.  Armed with tachyons, particles and plasma and twin laser and tachyon turrets, heavily shielded, heavily armored


Galaxy can be found here: http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/Finished_Mods/Finished-Galaxy-03-17-06.rar
Galaxy was redesigned from Privateer 1 Remake's Galaxy shuttle/transport thing.

[takashi]

these look kinda like inferno's ships

[Unknown Target]

Er...how?
