Ya, a vasudan missile corvete...This model has been lying around my HDD so I decided to texture it properly and turn it into a real warship.
Thing is I'm messing around with the placement of missile launchers - the turreed ones and hte fied ones (provided I get those tracking anti-cap missiles working)



Dis look good to you? Not too clustered?

[Snail]

Wow I've been looking for something like this.

Looks good, but not very Vasudan-ish, I could see it as a joint endeavor using a Vasudan ship with Terran weaponry... Plus you're using the Deimos textures for the lights...

[TrashMan]

Funny...I allways though the Deimos light texture looked very vasudanish...

(And in the GTVA most ships are a joint effort anyway..)

[Topgun]

I think the missiles should be facing to the sides... just my opinion though.

[Kazan]

the top fixed missile launchers - front ones should face front, middle side, aft should face rear

[TrashMan]

HM... I can add another par at the end to face ther rear...

but you might be right about the 2nd and 3rd one...maby it's best they face to the sides.

Since I havn't used or tried those tracking missiles (like ballisitc ones that can launch from pretty much any angle relative to the target and then just turn around) I have to ask - how good do they work? Any bugs with that? Do they hit the ship that launches them?

Which reminds me, I gotta go search for the tbl code for them...

Suddenly I'm wishing someone made a returreted Mentu/Aten.

(me and my mind wandering off again... sorry. )

[Snail]

Someone did make a re turreted Aten, I think it was called the Tuket or something.

[TrashMan]

Dang..can't find the thread with those long-range, shoot from any angle tracking missiles..

Can anyone help?

[asyikarea51]

Actually I just need one for use as a hero's ship, and mount two Mjolnir cannons on it. Instant artillery platform, just needs more defensive turrets. xD

(TBH I'm not even sure as to what you're looking for, but sorry I can't help either way. If my old hard disk was still working fine I'd probably have what you were looking for; download habit - just get it, you might never get it again. True enough with Mekhu and the Losna, I was lucky there.)

[TrashMan]

Ick..search didn't help either...

Does ANYONE recall that bit with tracking missiles that can fire regardless of the turrets facing relative to the target?

[Woolie Wool]

Dang..can't find the thread with those long-range, shoot from any angle tracking missiles..

Can anyone help?

Why not just edit the fusion mortar?

[Polpolion]

The red dots are turrets. Also, it's symmetrical.

EDIT: woops, I forgot one. It's in the veiw at the top left, on the light tan wing.

[Axem]

Give the turrets a wide (something like 270+ angle) FOV, then adjust the free flight time for your missiles to about 1 second or so.

[Wanderer]

'VLS' (vertical launch system) missiles are doable and actually quite easy to do.. (by vertical i mean fires like the modern aegis cruisers)

IIRC
i) Either make singlepart 'swarm 1' missiles and in use and/or use the "fire down normals" turret flag (cant remember if it works properly atm). Multiparts start firing like singlepart but keep turning towards the target as well.
ii) Set turret FOV very large
iii) Set missiles to have 'aspect seeker' or 'heat seeker' with very large homing cone. Set free flight time according your missiles velocity (ie. how it works in the game)

[TrashMan]

Thanks.. I'll try making and testing those missiles as soon as I finish this thing..


@TheSizzler - are you turret placement proposals for missile turrets or standard ones?

EDIT - you think I should make the command tower a bit higer? Or add another lvl to it...but smooth it out finely at the top?

[Snail]

The Sizzler is talking about normal turrets I think.

It needs some normal guns too of course.

[TrashMan]

Of course...with all those missiles it will have only light defences and armor...but it will be a long-range bombardment nighmare!

[TrashMan]

Was bored...how's this for anti-fighter defense?

[Snail]

Cool, but where are the conventional beam cannons? Those look like flak turrets or ballistic ammo guns maybe.
