Atop the Colossus there is a great and mighty. . . Laser turret?
Ya know that big pimple right on the Collie's forehead that looks like it should spew out BF beams of green-greatness? Except it's a dinky little laser turret? Double-you tee eff. (Sorry 'bout that last bit. Bad habit.) What's up?

And another question that's entirely theoretical like pretty much everything in this section: How much thrust do you think a medium sized beam cannon produces? Because it seems like a pivoting beam cannon would be quite a force to contend with. Especially on a Sath. . . Yucky. Image being able to be pwned by four BFreds no matter where you are.

Well the beam cannons produce enough force to knock a bomber 20k away if it survives which does occasionally happen.

Oh and we will get some Shivan grunts up there to swap that out for you.  Will a BFRED be suitable?

No-one ever listens to Zathras. Quite mad, they say. It is good that Zathras does not mind. He's even grown to like it. Oh yes. -Zathras

20K? That's quite impressive. I've been trying to get the highest clocked speed ever on FS and have been trying to use collisions with the Sath, but I think I may reconsider my strategy.

A GTVA ship with good weaponry? You can't possibly be serious.

Play Endgame again and take a closer look.

Set your ship's mass extremely low and the ship that's hitting you extremely high in the Ships.tbl to get the highest you can.

If you're going to table edit, you might as well just set the ship speed to 3000. I've gotten well over 2500 m/s in a 270 m/s Pegasus and liberal amounts of dampening.

If your unhappy with it, change it to a "Like, Really Big Green" or is it "Long Range Big Green" or "Long Range Beam Green" or what is it called? the LRBGreen.

Yea , that's the one. If I remember right, it's stronger than the Sathanas beams?

 
Re: Atop the Colossus there is a great and mighty. . . Laser turret?
Nope. Simply a BFGreen with double range or 600 m more range then a BFGreen.
And this ain't no ****. But don't quote me for that one. - Mika

Nope. Simply a BFGreen with double range or 600 m more range then a BFGreen.

600m more range than the BFRed.  The BFRed is still more than four times as effective though.

 
Re: Atop the Colossus there is a great and mighty. . . Laser turret?
Eh, sorry. Misspelling.

But assuming that the Colossus has a reverse gear, you could bombard the Sathanas 600 m out of it's beams range, desperately trying to catch up to you  :lol:

There was a "feature" in The Babylon Project that you could get extremelly high speeds by bouncing off a stations wall repeatedly until the colision detection could keep up anymore.

Re: Atop the Colossus there is a great and mighty. . . Laser turret?
in the version of Their Finest Hour i'm working on spiffying up i gave the Big C an LRBGreen in that spot

i had to turret lock it until after the ravana dies....

Big C + LRBGreen = 1 shot kill on a Ravana

 :wtf:

LRBGreen does 41'800 damage in total, whilst the Ravana has 100'000 Hit Points. WTF?
