The AI rarely uses Trebs anyway. Besides, using PHREAK'S SALVO CODE we could just dump half a dozen Trebs from one side, and half a dozen Cyclopses from another side...

Ouch

[Excalibur]

Trebs can't turn that quick, so I don't see why you can't dodge from 600m, but the AI dodge stupidly...
and for extra realism, every bomb/missile should be destroyable by getting hit, just not targetable, or else major annoyance will occur.

That would slow the game down to a crawl. Imagine the FPS when a wing of Hercs launch a few dual-fired Hornets.

One of the ships was firing a continuous volley of Hornets in the FreeSpace 2 Trailer.

Then flak guns would be overpowered too. The AoE they deal will just blank out missile volleys.

[Mars]

Bombs and missiles actually need to get hit by the projectile in order to be destroyed, so flak is pretty awful at taking them out.

[Stormkeeper]

Still, Snail's point is valid. It would slow the game down to a crawl, detecting collisions for the individual missiles and stuff.

Actually, bombs have a large radius that the game registers as a direct hit, even if your projectile never touched the missile model itself.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

No wonder they explode when my shots miss them.

Try shooting dual Trebuchets at a Nahema and change your view to that Shivan bomber.

Scorpio 1 is about to have a very bad day.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Ahh ha ha...death in its face.

[Stormkeeper]

Someone should do that with the salvo code

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Or is it something like this?

[Stormkeeper]

I was wondering what was the string of blue lights at the start.

Maras and Basilisks like to do that in-game. And when there is one Ashema left in Bearbaiting, I launch Helios' at it and watch it fly around, then it makes a mistake, i.e. turns sharply because it is 200m away from the bomb and has a head-on...but of course it doesn't die 'cause it has shields.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

No wonder a Cyclops never kills a fighter...because of shields.

[Mars]

I've killed a couple disabled maras with Cyclopses before

[Androgeos Exeunt]

No, it works sometimes, but most of the time, it doesn't. And, uh, Mars, the ones I tried to destroy were moving.

[Snail]

Well, I'm sure in FS1 the first few missions where you have no shields, you can kill lots of Vasudans by giving yourself Harbingers.
