What is needed in the weapons table to make a primary weapon have a kinetic effect, like the Morning Star?

Zarax · **Reply #1 on:** July 30, 2002, 11:27:22 am

Mass. Increase it and you'll have kinetic effect

Hudzy · **Reply #2 on:** July 30, 2002, 11:36:22 am

Ahh, I see. Thanks.

don't increase it too much or the sreen will go jittery as hell

*somehow sets infinite mass on Maxim*

*fires primary*

*gets sucked into black hole*

(Wonder what would happen if you set an object's speed to 3*10^8 (or 2.98 or whatever lightspeed is) and then fired it across the freespace engine?)

It crashes

What about half the speed of light?

Sesquipedalian · **Reply #9 on:** July 31, 2002, 08:46:30 pm

That would probably crash it too.

Assassin · **Reply #10 on:** August 01, 2002, 07:35:42 am

Probably? I'm willing to take the risk, I'm going to try it BRB!

ps. Raarr the rules of physics? What a load of nonsence!

Assassin · **Reply #11 on:** August 01, 2002, 07:42:23 am

It crashed.

BUT - speed of 80,000 is good. Also has some nice effects of how it knocks fighters backwards at 400m/s

Petrarch of the VBB · **Reply #12 on:** August 04, 2002, 09:32:24 am

Set a ship speed to say 1500m/s and then fire your guns, they travel at normal speed so they go behind you, let them and then stop. See if they hit you.

You can't kill yourself with your own weapons. Except from shockwaves. I've tried, many, many times.

Silver_Scythe · **Reply #14 on:** August 04, 2002, 12:10:35 pm

I couldnt help but notice your location, Redmond Washington or Oregon?

I think that only happens with the 'Shudder' flag.......... it's pretty neat, actually.

Hudzy · **Reply #16 on:** August 04, 2002, 03:28:21 pm

The Maxim has the shudder tag and it's the only weapon i recall shuddering.

Your own PRIMARY weapons. I've been blown to crap by my Needle missiles tons of times.

Solatar · **Reply #18 on:** August 04, 2002, 03:42:50 pm

I've crashed into my own Helios, and Cyclops Torps, and nothing happens. weird.

karajorma · **Reply #19 on:** August 04, 2002, 04:04:03 pm

It's pretty easy to kill yourself with fighter supression weapons like the inferno
