I'm going to edit the thread title. Capslock should probably be reserved for release threads.

Assuming that means I can use caps when I open the demo release thread.

Anything playable can use caps as far as I know.

If it's a RELEASE go for it. I haven't seen caps used in anything else.

Droid803 · **Reply #103 on:** August 17, 2009, 07:49:19 pm

I've seen it used for ANNOUNCEMENT and TRAILER multiple times. (ie. http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,57037.0.html)

General Battuta · **Reply #104 on:** August 17, 2009, 07:53:47 pm

Hrmph!

Shouldn't be a problem if people want to put it back in the titles, then, but goodness, if every nub with a campaign idea starts going all ANNOUNCEMENT on us...

Droid803 · **Reply #105 on:** August 17, 2009, 07:59:34 pm

Well, it hasn't happened in the past, it shouldn't suddenly happen now...

Everything that went ANNOUNCEMENT currently has at least got somewhere.

Unless of course, mentioning this cursed it.

Damn it!

Just kidding.

Ah, ****.

I've been debating very, very much as to whether or not I should expand the size of the demo. At this point, I'm thinking it may need to include Part 1, 2, and 3, and...

Spoiler:

The first SOC loop!

carbine7 · **Reply #108 on:** August 24, 2009, 01:18:55 pm

oooh, SOC. I always loved them, mostly because they get all the fun toys. Especially missiles with subspace warheads....ah, too much to hope for.

The E · **Reply #109 on:** August 24, 2009, 01:27:35 pm

....Missiles with subspace warheads?

General Battuta · **Reply #110 on:** August 24, 2009, 03:11:36 pm

SSMs? Easy enough...

sigtau · **Reply #111 on:** August 24, 2009, 03:23:36 pm

Either he's talking about something as destructive as the subspace weapon on the Sathanas or a subspace artillery strike.

General Battuta · **Reply #112 on:** August 24, 2009, 03:51:42 pm

Those are SSMs, and they're easy enough. Either local SSMs, Shivans!-style, or from a remote artillery platform.

sigtau · **Reply #113 on:** August 24, 2009, 04:07:21 pm

Doesn't that basically enable the player to use unlimited ammo, since the player's fighter doesn't literally produce the missile.

Droid803 · **Reply #114 on:** August 24, 2009, 04:15:07 pm

Yes, which poses a bit of a balancing problem.
Well, it could.

General Battuta · **Reply #115 on:** August 24, 2009, 04:22:26 pm

No, not at all; you can use TAG-Cs to call in the SSM strikes, which are ammo limited like anything else.

Droid803 · **Reply #116 on:** August 24, 2009, 04:39:41 pm

I thought SSMs used Targeting Laser.

General Battuta · **Reply #117 on:** August 24, 2009, 05:26:02 pm

They can use that as well.

Droid803 · **Reply #118 on:** August 24, 2009, 05:29:55 pm

The whole thing overall isn't very well documented IMO...especially the difference between the normal SSM and "local SSM".

General Battuta · **Reply #119 on:** August 24, 2009, 05:31:38 pm

Local SSMs are launched by the player, jump out, and then jump in at the target. Artillery SSMs jump in from out-mission and attack the designated target.
