Playing as a Capital ship
I think I've read that Blue Planet: War in Heaven has a mission where you fly one (right?).

Anyway, I think most are well aware that you CAN fly capships provided you hack the .tbl files or do some tricks in FRED. But this thread's purpose is to fill in my satisfaction of flying a capital ship and manually aiming the turrets.

So, can anyone recommend missions and/or campaigns where decent capital ship flying is demonstrated? The aiming-turrets and all? Then put them up for download.

thnx

Re: Playing as a Capital ship
War in Heaven's The Blade Itself is one of the best so far.  It's really hard to manually aim turrets.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

You can designate targets for turrets in The Blade Itself.

m!m did a script that lets you manually control one turret at a time.

Those are the only two options you've got. Nothing else meaningful has been done with capship command.

There's also a TrackIR turret control thing. Though, well, that requires you have TrackIR.

Is it an SEXP?

Where can I get it?

Re: Playing as a Capital ship
No, it's a script. It lets you take control of one turret at a time and shoot with it. You can switch between turrets. It is here and seems to be meant to be used with The Blade Itself.
