I hate that... 'cause obviously, the tactic of blowing the AAA on one side of the ship and hovering on that side to recharge shields doesn't work...

I slash ships that are equipped with a reasonable amount of AA weaponry. Safer. I slash from top down, in a diagonal pattern.

I remember in one mission i had a leviathan shooting its main gun at me.

I was about 1700 m out , approaching it from the front, trying to take out its main gun, so started unloading hornet missiles and prometheus shots at it, then it powers up and fires right at me! There were no capital ships behind me that it could've been trying to hit, it shot the cannon at ME !

I swear i was just like "HOLY CRAP!

"

It could be shooting at bombs or something. BFReds have been known to try to hit bombs.

Stormkeeper · **Reply #44 on:** July 18, 2007, 08:41:07 am

What are the odds of an A-cap beam hitting a bomb, anyway. A slash might have a better chance, imo.

Snail · **Reply #45 on:** July 18, 2007, 09:13:10 am

It fires instantly, remember?

after they charge for a few seconds. also, you can sometimes fly into the "orb" the beams come from and you won't get vaporized by the beam.

Wow I just saw something strange occur... A Hecate fired its main beam at an Orion, but a Slash beam destroyed the turret the Hecate was firing. Instead of being cut off, the beam the Hecate fired at the Orion began damaging the Hecate it had been fired from. Weird, huh?

Yes.Did you also know that you can ram bombs?They hurt.

I learned that the hard way.

Vasudan Commander · **Reply #49 on:** July 18, 2007, 12:59:56 pm

Something else that i dont get is that you could get hit by a BFGreen and survive. If a BFRed hit you, you'd be vaporized.

Strange that.

If it's a friendly beam it can only do 30 damage, even on Insane.

which table is that?

Snail · **Reply #54 on:** July 18, 2007, 04:54:48 pm

ai_profiles.tbl, the default one too.

Game_Master64 · **Reply #55 on:** July 18, 2007, 04:59:29 pm

i just looked through all the tables on the retail, you sure thats not a mod? i couldn't find that line any where.

Snail · **Reply #56 on:** July 18, 2007, 05:00:51 pm

It's a table added by FS2Open. But it's the default retail settings.

Game_Master64 · **Reply #57 on:** July 18, 2007, 05:01:39 pm

weird, i don't appear to have that table. i'll have to find out why i'm missing it

karajorma · **Reply #58 on:** July 18, 2007, 05:08:10 pm

You're not missing it.

AI_Profiles.tbl took a bunch of hardcoded values and made them into a table so that they could be edited. The default values have been there since retail days and are still present in the code. The difference is that now if you have the table you can alter them.

Game_Master64 · **Reply #59 on:** July 18, 2007, 05:09:32 pm

figured it was something like that. i assume it was included in a pack with one of the older builds?
