Discovered something new today
I was playing a mission (I think it was a mission from an old campaign called "unification prequel" or something), and after it ended there was an allied Hatshepsut destroyer in the area, and just for kicks I decided to fly into its fighterbay. I was expecting to hit a wall a little ways in but to my surprise I found myself flying through a tunnel leading to a room which was a mockup of the Vasudan main hall screen from the original FS2 campaign. There was also a reactor subsystem which was targetable inside that chamber (those wacky Vasudans, putting their ship's reactor right next to an important command area). There was also a tunnel on the other side leading out.

Anyway, I thought that was neat, and now I'm wondering if the modding team has left any other neat little surprises like that around.

Re: Discovered something new today
This needs to happen with the Orion and Hecate too.
Then I will be happy.

This was actually pretty heavily publicized and discussed before the 3.6.12 MVPs, there were lots of awesome screenshots. You just didn't pay attention you silly man!

I don't think I was active on the forums then.

Anyway do any other ships have something like this?

You can find something like that inside the GTD Raynor's fighterbay, for example...

The Raynor and Titan have modeled fighterbays, maybe some other ships do too. Not sure.

Is this in MediaVPs?  Can someone link to the thread for those of us who weren't around?  (That is to say, "pics or it didn't happen.")

Yes, fly into the Psamtik's fighterbay in 'Surrender, Belisarius' using the 3.6.12 MVPs.

It also has a workaround for AI running into walls so they can actually navigate its interior corridors like a descent level.
It's cool.

Re: Discovered something new today
Being incredibly gargantuan (and thus her name), the Gargant should have A LOT of space in its "command hall". Maybe we could put some sort of main reactor at the center, which destroys the entire ship just like what happened to the Death Star II? (sadly, that main reactor might take 50 pulses of the Icanus' USilv Supercannon just to blow it up  :sigh:).
With the rapid increase of FS fan-made campaigns, we're giving the GTVA a harder time with more violence and genocide.

Spoiler:
There is no HTL Gargant

Re: Discovered something new today
But I was saying it "should have", implying that, if it were to be released, I'd like a huge chamber with a large main reactor in the middle.

The ingame Orion fighterbay seems way too small in comparsion to the mainhall screen. And there is still the problem with that dubious second figherbay...

Water's WIP Orion hangar interior

I hope this can be used in the actual Orion model someday.
