Bah. Don't remind me of the Elysium.

[Stormkeeper]

Bah. Don't remind me of the Elysium.

Huh?

[Androgeos Exeunt]

The Elysium has a protruding (laser) turret at the top.

[Aardwolf]

* Aardwolf remembers when he first discovered the Elysium actually had a turret, and was like "whoa... this changes my perspective on EVERYTHING"

I once made a mission in FS1 with an Elysium armed with a Shivan Super Laser.

I once made a mission in FS1 with an Elysium armed with a Shivan Super Laser.

Bah. I strapped a modified BFRed to that thing and made the mission objective to escort the Elysium. The BFRed was allowed to attack fighters, with no recharge time.

[Aardwolf]

Yes well FS1 doesn't exactly have BFReds, so that really wasn't an option.

What? The energy ball of the BFRed is nearly 3/4's the size of the Elysium itself!

So, how did it go? 

[Stormkeeper]

It was a BRBOD. Big Red Ball Of Death. I'll see if I can wrangle up some screenshots, post it in the celebration thread.

[Aardwolf]

I wonder... does touching the muzzle glow of a beam hurt you? Like, if I made a beam with a beam length of almost zero, but a huge muzzle glow, what would happen?

[Stormkeeper]

Nothing. Believe me. I know. Just don't ask me what the hell I was doing.

Like Stormkeeper said, it doesn't scratch your fighter, but unfortunately you have a very BIG chance of either

 - Colliding with the Ravana/whatever and on medium that's not what you want to do
 - You get hit. BOOM!!

[SPECTRE87]

I'd love to have an skp. of the Orion Mk II... It seriously needs some love...

Hey, Spectre, did you manage to figure out the crash issue with the Sanctuary?

You haven't gotten to any of the really good parts of the campaign, and while you weren't the biggest fan, I still think you'd really like some of the later missions and music.

[SPECTRE87]

Well, I like the combat (dual Balors rocks!!) and music a lot, but I guess the whole story is just a no-go for me. And yeah, I've sorted out the problem with the Sanctuary mission, but now I'm having problems with the Forced Entry mission.. My flagship gets butchered by the Ravana before I can do anything about it.. I know it's a bug, but bug aside that mission needs some tweaking (The flagship could really use some more HP to start with  )

[blowfish]

Beware that the Orion Phase II is just a retail Orion with some new chunks stuck on it ... but I'll try to get that SKP when I get home.

It's not a bug -- but you do need to be either lucky or precognitive. Save some Trebuchets throughout the mission and use them to take out all four of the Ravana's beams.

You can then enjoy the sight of those long-range attack missiles you dreamed about (though probably not as many as you'd like.)

* Androgeos Exeunt test-fires his SABeam.

I still can't see the difference between the Orion Phase II and the Orion Mark II. They're two different ships, but they seem quite similar in appearance as far as I can recall.

Giant revolver on the nose, for one.

Give that beam a rest.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

It's a different beam. Don't worry, I won't use that again any time soon.

The revolver is on the Phase II, right?
