This thread was absolutely brilliant.

What a character.

TO ALL

I'm giving up my mod.

*censored*

Congrats! You've killed your first project, and thus are an official modder now! Go make some really small two or three mission mini-campaigns, maybe based off of the NTF or zods and release it, then try out to help with an already existing project! Goodness knows people need FREDers!

EDIT: Just so you don't feel too bad, I really didn't put much effort into those weapons I gave you.

Don't feel to bad about failing miseribly with this project either. If you start a project while you're below a certain age, that project is doomed to failiure no matter how determined you are.

EDIT2: Geez people, lay off him. Things like this happen quite often on this board and I'd imagine that people'd be used to it by now.

[Stormkeeper]

Pack up all the custom weapons you guys did for him and .zip if up somewhere; I'm sure someone will want to use them. I'm in school now so I can't do that.

[ShadowGorrath]

The weapons are just TBL entries written here.

And it is me who should be nervous, as if I loose my interest/enthusiasm/support/etc. , the 'ASW' ( Ancient Shivan War ) will bejome "Just Another Thread 357".

[Getter Robo G]

Oooo Idea for a project: "Just another Mod..." 

I wonder why he "gived up". I was just trying to be helpful and didn't go like:
"I am the God of Noobs and command you to abandon this folly called FS#!"

Jaffa KREE!



I need to make better pics later...

JC4JC has the ship and weapon (I did the best I could and think I got it right) so release will probably be in the demo if he ever gets to it.

[Jeff Vader]

I sure hope something is released eventually. It must be intriguing to fly a Death Glider with at least one Ha'tak causing mayhem in the background.

Are you trying to tell me to quit working on the Teeth of the Tiger project?

I can answer that if you tell me what the Teeth of the Tiger project is about.

There is some more in the TotT thread.

[Colonol Dekker]

FreeSpaceMods has a forum section too why was i not made aware?

Alright. I have some bad news to you- now you have to finish the mod no matter what, or I'll call in my little friends ( *shows a fleet of SSD Lucifers* ).

INTERNET FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My little friends have a little more to say than little Lucifers ( *doesn't show Tiigran-Merisst vessels that could easily spank a Lucifer, since they ain't done yet* )

[ShadowGorrath]

But my Lucifers are in infinite numbers  j/k

Seriously, only beam cannons can destroy the Lucifers on normal engagement.

O rly?

[ShadowGorrath]

Unless the Lucifer you know is unshielded ?

And even an Ancient carrier could barely damage it due to high shield power. How do you think someone else can even harm it ?

[Jeff Vader]

Actually, my point was to merely inquire whether it says that on any of the games (you know, the canon sources) or if this was one of those "It must be so since there is no canon information contradicting it" scenarios.

[ShadowGorrath]

Well, even the GTA managed to destroy one... But only through tactics, good intel and preparations. On a normal engagement, nothing can even harm the shielded Lucifer. But because beam cannons can go directly through shields without any effect from them, logically, shields can't protect a ship from beam cannons.

[Jeff Vader]

Well, even the GTA managed to destroy one... But only through tactics, good intel and preparations.

Yes. A different scenario. An unshielded Lucifer, at least on the stage that actually mattered. And no beams.

But because beam cannons can go directly through shields without any effect from them

Ah, you're referring to the anti-fighter beams.

logically, shields can't protect a ship from beam cannons.

But according to that logic, fighters and bombers are invulnerable against lasers, missiles, torpedoes and such. Why? Because they're shielded.

[Galemp]

He's right, though... shields DO protect against lasers and missiles. As long as your shields hold out, your hull IS invulnerable.

The problem is that these weapons deplete shields, so when your shields are gone you're in trouble.

[Jeff Vader]

Aye. And in this point it would be wise to take size into concideration. Fighters are small. Relatively. Lucy is huuge. So we might assume that the power output of the Lucy is very much larger than the output of a fighter. Which of course explains why there is a noticeable depletion of fighter shield integrity under weapons fire. With the Lucy, it always seemed like the shield was impervious. Most likely there was a lot more power directed at the shield. But how much more? Do we know that? Maybe so much that even beam weapons would be useless.

Or let's just count on the game mechanics and have a cap ship blast a Lucy with AAAf beams, since, as we know, they go right through shields. Right?
