Could someone double check Snail... no offense, but I think he's wrong.

From root_fs2.vp

Code: [Select]

$Flags:                                ( "player allowed" "EMP")

He's not. Why don't you double check it?

[Mars]

Because I haven't had FS2 on my computer in over 6 months.

[FUBAR-BDHR]

I checked before I ever posted.

The thing is, this was even mentioned in the Wiki as a way to kill the Tiamat, and it was in for months until someone removed it. Even Goob approved it. The flag must have been there at some point.

[General Battuta]

I left four fighters on co-op firing continuous Prometheus, Subach, and Hornet salvos into the Tiamat for over ten minutes on full time acceleration -- hours of in-game time. The corvette did not die.

The same ship, however, died from a few dozen EMP hits once it was down to 1%.

Weird!

I've been editing many of the FreeSpace 2 campaign articles over the past week, and all I saw on the Proving Grounds page was that shooting EMPs at the Oberon will cheese Delta wing off and make them attack you.

Does anybody have a copy of the original 1.00 retail tables?

Alternately, does the EMP flag behave like the huge flag?

It was removed still more months ago.

[Mars]

Does anyone still have their FS2 CDs? I'm pretty sure the Huge flag was in there at some point.

[General Battuta]

This install came off Turey's, though, not the FS2 CDs. So why would it be behaving like retail?

[Kie99]

The EMP generates a shockwave, no other weapons available in that mission do, the shockwave damage is probably causing the Corvette's death.

[Mars]

It shouldn't matter

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I thought the shockwave of an EMP. does minimal damage. It shouldn't be able to kill a warship.

If it deals any damage at all and you fire enough of them, eventually it'll kill the warship.

[General Battuta]

That's a reasonable explanation...it is only 1% hull damage, after all.

[Mars]

Not on capships

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Has anyone made any updated tables with all these niggling little things fixed?

Trebs not being used against bombers, Myrmidon being able to carry the Helios but not the Harpoon, Faustus having a fighter armament on one of its turrets...

The list is endless.

No, because it would upset things balance-wise.  If anyone wants to do this for their own campaign, they are more than welcome to.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

It wouldn't make that much of a difference, really.
And there's some stuff in the tables which is definitely a mistake rather than a game-balance decision, like the LOD distances on Hippocrates.

[Galemp]

The Freespace Upgrade project addresses those kinds of obvious bugs, like the Hippo LODs and the swapped shield segments on the Bakha.
