Title: Some Questions (Split from Specter of the Past)
Post by: Pomerancak on June 01, 2008, 01:10:34 PM
Hi i like this mod (especially ur mini-mods  ;) ) and i have a few questions. I read this update and i have to saythis is the first mod (as far as know) thats make different types of weapon hardpoints. Thats GREAT! I was always fed why and how can some shitty small ship have same type of turbolasers like my shiny Star Destroyer :) About my question, i read this:
Quote
9. Weapon Retooling.
 The weapon sets of all ships have been redone, nd now include a larger amount of different weapon hardpoints. The new weapons include dual and quad lasers and masers, heavy and light turbolasers and megamasers, new missile types for the Chiss and Empire of the Hand, as well as a few other general improvements.

and i would like to know what exactly will be masers like?? I have read the short description in wookieepedia, but i wonder how it will work in game?

Second question is about octuple heavy turbolasers that uses ISD II-class? Will it be implemented?

Last one:
Is it possible to make some missile types (proton etc...) targetable? I mean it would be if bigger ships will have a point defence system that would be able to shot down some torpedos etc.

OK thank for your answers and your time :)

First Question: They're essentially blue turbolasers. We've made them a bit stronger than the lasers and turbolasers.

Second Question: Imperial-IIs have four Octuple Barbette Turbolasers.

Third Question: Some ships will have point defense systems, but I'm not sure exactly how well it'll work.

Sry, seems i post it in wrong topic...

Thanks a lot for your quick response :)


Cant wait to see all those new weapons ;D

About point defense.. hm well at least you try, its great to know someone is trying to make it workable. I was wondering when (and if at all...) will someone try to bring that feature in FoC  ;)

Its already in FoC as an ability, which is what we're using. However, they only put it on one ship.

U mean that weird "thing" on that small Consorcium ship?

I'm not sure but i think it works more like some attack booster against fighters rather then real point def. system, but i will check it asap to see more.

It only shoots down missiles, and hits up to 4 at a time. It is point defense.

point defense is designed to target missiles and starfighters. but i guess for balance reasons it should only be missiles

I was testing it a bit. But i dunno it still looks weird for me.

Seems like Petro implemented it in last-minute.

it works great on the Imp Juggernaut, i've never really seen it do much for the Consortium corvette though
