4^thed.

[Snail]

Pretty.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Stupendous! Everything's looking good!

[IceyJones]

only very few time at the moment.....the only thing i did the last days:

[terran_emperor]

Now if ownly the FSU team could get that in missions

[Cobra]

That turret's already in FSO, dude.

[jdjtcagle]

The creativity of your cutscenes redefines what my opinion is on the small things of the FreeSpace Universe.

The way the turret moves to the people loading onto cargo crates I love your cutscenes

[IceyJones]

That turret's already in FSO, dude.

the turret yes, but not the movement of the single gun barrels 
i devided the mesh and made single objects from them.....

[Cobra]

I remember seeing the turret barrels recoil one at a time.

[Vasudan Admiral]

They don't - they're a single object so they can't possibly.

Besides the fact that turret recoil doesn't work at all, there is no way to indicate to the animation code which particular barrel is firing. Once it does work I'll probably go over existing ships and replacing the current turrets with recoil-compatible ones, cos I love the look of recoil.

[IceyJones]

very slowly proceeding:

[Snail]

Never remembered the Chronos being so far up the Cain. Is it like that in-game, or can you move it up further in?

Only other gripe I can see is the smoke effects.... Kinda weird looking.

[Hades]

Actually I think the Chronos is farther up.

[Cobra]

Yeah, the front section was in the middle of the little diamond shape on the bottom.

[Snail]

Actually I think the Chronos is farther up.

Yeeaahhh that's what I meant. Sorry for slaughtering the English language.

[IceyJones]

not really guys....maybe a few meters only.....

problem with the position in the mission is, that the taranis engines are IN the freighter....nevertheless i put it more further.....

The effects on the Taranis really look like fire & smoke... In SPACE.

[Vidmaster]

actually I don't care about physics (or maybe I should, since I got to write Abitur (=high german school degree) about it  )

Looks good. Damn good.

[Galemp]

I don't think anyone would mind if you edited the model to have a custom bracket or strut to brace the docking point. After all they did say in the mission that they had to reinforce it. This would give you enough of a gap that there wouldn't be an intersection between the models.

And, for aesthetics sake, could you flip the assembly over, so the Chronos is 'right side up' and the Cain is 'upside down'? I know that's how they're oriented in the mission, but it just feels better that way... and there's no 'up' in space anyway, only the camera orientation.

It's a cutscene. Move the camera around so that no one sees it. Or have a transport nearby obscuring the camera's view of the problem.

Not to mention they don't look that great anyway...
