I've been playing BSG and TBP too much and have been spoiled by them, so now whenever I play FS2 gauntlets I quit early because it's not as entertaining as BSG's. Anyways, are there any table mods around that improve on FS2's original ships with better speeds, fire rates, etc.?

[Unknown Target]

No...because then it wouldn't be FS2, now would it...?

[Snail]

Make them yourself.

[Mobius]

I admit that I really wanted something similar, but FS2 style battles works fine.

Create a ships tbm...and maybe a weapons tbm too. Make the changes...it should be easy.

[Snail]

As Black Wolf would say, "stop cheating and haxing all the time!!"

[diceman111]

Just started playing Revenge Final conflict again, those tables have improved weapons and faster ships etc.

Think you can find them here on the forums somewhere otherwise just PM or something

[Mobius]

I think that such tbl edits should be tested. I mean, if you're going to modify everything, you should be sure that the game is balanced.

[diceman111]

Yes well those tables are for the Revenge campaign I dont know wheter or not you simply could use them with the main FS2 campaign without balancing problems.
But if he just wants to make a mission in FRED and shoot stuff or something

FS2 does to have improved weapons!

[Mobius]

I'm refering to the speed of warheads. It should be improved too, and in an intelligent way. The game will be either too easy or too hard, if whoever makes the changes we're talking about doesn't test the new tables.

[THE Phreak]

No I just wanna blow stuff up and get into intense dogfights.

FS2 dogfights are slow, hell you even crash into the enemy fighter from time to time

[Getter Robo G]

One it's a game.

Two, your thread title is misleading. I thought you were looking for IMPROVED FS2 ships. That's a bit vague so I thought you  meant Models and I was about to explain FSOPEN Improved ships to you..


Free free to hack your own tables however...

[THE Phreak]

Thats really what im looking for, some table edits for stock FS2 ships.

This thread really went awry one me 

[JGZinv]

I could suggest trying Tachyon, if you want something faster.

However you've got some problems with that:
1. Tach is every bit as old as FS2, except it never had any improvements.
2. Single player is too easy, multiplayer is where you would have gone.
3. NovaLogic just eliminated running servers, for MP, so there's no where to go
unless you hook up with someone direct. One fan has asked they be restored,
no response yet.

4. Once FringeSpace get's back up to speed again, then you've got
that as a far better replacement.

So yes, you want faster dogfights, modify your tables. You'll also need
to adjust the weapons, as we found out earlier too.

[Unknown Target]

The only thing I'd like added to Freespace 2 would be thrusters and being able to go backwards...that's really it though.

[--Steve-O--]

i thought i read somewhere that you can do that, sliding and such. i did love that reverse thrust in starlancer.
hey guys, how do we do that?

[Snail]

$rear velocity:, $slide velocity:

[Mobius]

Does it work thanks to the Inertia? I can't find other possible ways to do it.

[takashi]

check the BTRL tables

[JGZinv]

I'm quite sure that the BTRL team said they wanted that kind of info
kept low key over at Game Warden, it stands to reason it would be the
same here. So I wouldn't be checking BTRL's files.

Having the "power" to mod, is not something to be used foolishly.

After all, with great power, comes great responsibility.
