Some questions I got since the first time i played TBP

Exspecially about the rate of fire

I most episodes you can see that the energy weapons of all races, exspecially the Centauri, had a higher rate of fire  than in the game. Is that a limitation of the game-engine or wanted. Also the foward guns of the Omega Cruisers had a much higher rate of fire than in the game

Than the damage modell. In the show it takes one hit to destroy a fighter plane with the Furys weapons, in season 5 maybe 12-15 hits are able to destroy a Vorchan Vessel. But i think a lot of people get frustrated if their plane only can get one hit

Than it seems that the weapons of the B5 Station are much weaker than in the shows, the "big green gun" seems to miss at all"....Also non of the Rapid Fire Four Barreled Interceptor guns........


I want to say that is not a critic on your work, as a fact I love it and had a lot of funny hours with it. This are just some questions........

it's all for the sake of balance.

If the Shadows of TBP were as kick-arse as the Shadows of the series, you couldn't even dream of playing through The Black Hand, for example.

Balance.......I Hate this Word

It making realistic modding, like in the moment in IL2 Modding scene, unpossible

The Virtual RAF or USAAF Pilots are feared to meet realistic german weapons, so for Balance it will not be
changed.............just give a damn about history.....


Im more talking about the EAS, NARN and CENTAURI SHIPS

I like the Vorlon and Shadow ships in the game as their are

You can, of course, extract the table files from the core vp, edit them to your liking and use them instead. No one is stopping you.

I would love to, but I sead in my other post I have no idea of FS editing ;(

Some Things i would like to do ist that the Centauri and Omaga "Ball" Weapon would can fire without the breaks. I mean fire constantly

Go to Freespace modding section, there some guides if you search

[Carnage]

In german ?????

[Colonol Dekker]

Google can provide translation for you just be patient and it will all become very easy with time.

[Jeff Vader]

Learning languages is fun.

[Carnage]

learning latin is fuc*** up 

[Jeff Vader]

Agreed. But English is handy, no matter where you go or what you do.

[Carnage]

Im good in english, but I´m lazy
Also the half of the community seems to be german, why not a german teutorial

[colecampbell666]

Well, get to it!

And Latin is cool, a certain Italian brings it down a few notches.

Thats their fault then,.... Not ours..

(All wish to be learned, but no one is willing to pay the price. ...)

I'm surprised that occurs in IL-2 to be honest, I've always considered that more of a leisure simulation than a 'game', though it can be played like one, I would have thought they'd keep the weapons information as realistic as possible.

However, the Freespace AI is not capable of pulling all these wonderful manouvers you see in the series, which means ships like Whitestars etc are a lot less dangerous in-game than they are in-series. I think the weapons settings had to be tweaked down to account for this fact.

[colecampbell666]

Are there plans to make a separate AI code for use with other mods?

[Flipside]

There's some flexibility, but it is mostly based around parameters in the Freespace 2 AI, so the ships still 'think' like Freespace 2 ships.

I know someone was talking about improving/updating the AI at some point, but I don't know if anything ever came of it.

[colecampbell666]

Which means that they don't think.
