No, you can recharge your hull integrity

You're giving for sure that in such a battle shields are equal to many times the hull integrity of the same ships, while they can double it's total hitpoints at max(there are some...exceptions, of course).

My point is that in some conditions, either escaping is useless or the enemy fire is too heavy. Shields don't make the difference.

[Snail]

You cannot recharge hull integrity in the main campaigns!

[Mobius]

We were talking about an ipothetical battle, the main campaigns have nothing to do with that.

[Snail]

But you still won't have a hull replenishing SEXP in there, would we?

[TrashMan]

Wh oneeds it - you have $Hull Repair Rate in the ships.tbl
And Support Ships Repair Hull checkbox in FRED

[Snail]

Yeah, but you wouldn't normally have that (unless it's a *certain* Shivan ship ).

[TrashMan]

That was only in Derilict.. non-canon

[Snail]

And another campaign I'm working on... [not FRGL, don't worry]

Anyway, the main thing about FS1 was that when the Shivans appeared, we had NOTHING. They came with sensor arrays, shields, superior weapons... The works.

[Mobius]

You mean FrGl

Making the Shivans invincible near the beginning of FS1 was undoubtely an excellent choice, but Shivans are terrible in FS2 too. Just think about the Ravana and the Sathanas fleet. They were superior to most Shivan forces the player faced in FS1. The Lucifer made a planet unhabitable...the Sathanes have made a star go Supernova, something both beautiful and fearsome.

Okay... my favourite ship... Lucifer under attack. Weapopn test mission 

[c914]

Those are nice.

Hope that you won't post them in new topic on fs.pl forum

[Snail]

Whoa, love how those explosions go onto the Lucy like that! LOVE the effects.

BTW, does the Lucy have 800k hits or did you lower it?

[jr2]

I thought the planetary bombardment cannon was orange / yellow?  (Come to think of it, so were the forward arm cannons.)

[Snail]

There was another version released.

[jr2]

No, I'm talking canon (FS2 intro / FS1 in-game Orion destruction)... although I think I remember some conversation about the bombardment cannons having two modes, orange / yellow for anti-ship, and blue / green for planetary bombardment...

[shiv]

Those are nice.

Hope that you won't post them in new topic on fs.pl forum

ARE YOU BACK, CYFERKU?!(polish nick)

I won;t post it in a new topic

BTW, does the Lucy have 800k hits or did you lower it?

My versions of ships have diffrent armors than in FS2.

No, I'm talking canon (FS2 intro / FS1 in-game Orion destruction)... although I think I remember some conversation about the bombardment cannons having two modes, orange / yellow for anti-ship, and blue / green for planetary bombardment...

Maybe I'll change a color...

[Mobius]

Nice to meet you, c914. I talked about you with Shiv. I see that you're back!

You don't have to change the colour of the beams. You already said that your mod is something separate, so you don't have to follow canon informations to the letter

[Snail]

Yeah, LGM's right.

[jr2]

I didn't mean he had to, I thought he was using a default Lucy... if he wants to change it, I guess that's alright... but can he also make a version of the orange / yellow ones that look as good as that bluish one?  (So we can stick it in mediavps... then again, it's been awhile since I've seen the Lucy firing, it may already be fixed up good.)

[shiv]

Okay. If you wanty orange versions in media_vps, I'll do it
