So why is it under "Archived"?

Because an Admin saw fit to move it there because of the lack of progress and it hasn't been moved out yet.

[Snail]

So why is it under "Archived"?

It was moved out of Archived into WIP projects for about an hour. It was moved back to Archived when we informed the admins that we still weren't completely out of the woods...

[dragonsniper]

Oohhhh. I see now...

Great way to save it.

Another interesting thing is all the blue weapons in FS 1 were actually pretty weak/or specialized with the exception of the banshee, and we all know what happened to that in FS 2. Yellow and Green weapons (Avenger/Prometheus) However, were quite powerful

Think of the color of fire changing depending on it's heat/energy.....

How does it go, from warmest to hottest? And it ends with? WHITE.

[Droid803]

lowest frequency is red.
highest is purple.
white is everything together.

unless you're talking about flames?

[pecenipicek]

Mod lockdown I would presume.

If the project isn't going anywhere I don't see the point in keeping those effects under lockdown. (no offense)

In short, MT is under archived since stuff needs to get completely reorganised and we need to get everyone assigned properly and make em to their job. with whips. or something.

also, Mobius, i'd like to ask you to go to hell and swim with some fiery fishies. The project is going somewhere and the project IS making progress, and we thoroughly regret not informing your little elitist ass of it.

[eliex]

Yeah. It will be finished and done.

I did say fire, didn't I?

[Droid803]

Fire color is determined by what is burning, isn't it?
Like stuff burning in pure oxygen is green...
And the hottest region of a flame is clear.

At least that's why I remember...its been a while since I burned random chemicals over a Bunsen burner.

[Retsof]

I know copper burns green, and we all know propane.

got some nasty burns from the barely visible flames on a bunsen with a proper gas/air mix... imagine a fully lit classroom with white floors, ceilings and pretty much everything else, imagine me setting the burner properly. imagine me scream when 500°C of burning hatred burn my arm as i forgot i turned on the ****er and i cant see the flame. luckily the scars are gone by now since there wasnt a long contact but it still hurt like hell for the whole month when i had to have my arm completely bandaged...


as for burning stuff... if there is someone with a bit less of chemical knowledge, for the love of gods, dont heat up non-diluted acids.

we had a quite perfect bottle of HCL blow up when an idiot from my class decided that it would be fun to watch what happens when he drops it in a bowl of boiling water.
when the ****er dropped it in a interesting sound was heard and then he screamed. it was fun watching the emergency medical service take him off. unfortunately his gonads were fine, so he lives on to spread the stupidity.

the ****er got off with two stitches above his eyebrow from the shards after the bottle blew up


guess who had to clean up the mess afterwards.

[Stormkeeper]

You, probably.

Those electric blue beams would really suit the GTVA. But since green is canon (and friendly!), the GTVA will forever have green (and friendly!) beams of death.

[Droid803]

Green looks better on the Hecate, Colossus and Iceni though.
I'm pretty sure blue on the stock textures of these ships would look slightly awkward.

The Deimos, Leviathan and Aeolus, however, would look great, as would the Orion.

[eliex]

Agreed.

[SpardaSon21]

Well, blue really is a human color.  We really aren't big fans of green.  Green lasers, yes, but massive green beams of doom?  They just look weird.  Massive blue beams of doom on the other hand, that's different.

[ShadowGorrath]

I think that blue weapons and armour would be only if the Terran and Vasudan races drift apart from eachother. Like for Sol, for example. Or if the GTVA would be less allied than in FS2. While green beam cannons, and the FS2 Hecate and Colossus armour is when the Terrans and Vasudans are REALLY allied.

[IceFire]

In the FS2 beta the beams were pink/purple

How do you know these things?

Because I was a multiplayer beta tester back in the day. We tried to help bring the net code up for FS2 to make it better than it had been in FS1.  Allot was accomplished I think and we got a very early look at FreeSpace 2...it looked mostly like FS1 except with the new ships and updated multiplayer code.  Also some of the tech descriptions for ships were pretty funny especially if you already knew members of the dev team.

Most likely  was saving the blue beams for FS3.

Based on what?

[qazwsx]

Earth, the blue planet
vasuda prime, yellow (mostly desert)
blue+yellow=green
what better colour for the collossus?
