I was going to cover a scenario leading up to the siege of Peron - actually was originally doing movie-esque versions of a hornet & scimitar, but decided that was re-inventing the wheel, especially with klavs awesome models around: https://www.wcnews.com/chatzone/attachments/1-jpg.4855/ So...

Well aware of HLP, been poking around those boards for years (don't post often). I was planning to release a campaign, but the amount of times i have battled with exporters, pivot points, helpers etc. etc. is just maddening, so I have scaled back somewhat. Will probably just release what I...

So for the movie version we assume: 8x Heavy Laser Turrets 22x Light point defense mass drivers (as is referenced in the novels) 40 Torpedo Tubes Btw, which novels? Movie novelization/pilgrim novels? Or End Run/Actions Stations etc.? If its the latter I might ignore it, as I'm trying to get...

I investigated this some time ago to try and run it on my macbook. From memory it required 7.x, but I believe with the 9.x series you can 'boot into' 7 or 8, a bit like you used to boot to DOS mode with Win 95. I think. Like you, I'm a PC. Beep boop beep. I also tried the 3do emulation -...

2 anti-matter guns. Got ya.

Thats it. After looking at the Claw Marks blueprints, its clear that this will never be completely solved - it states 8 dual laser turrets, when it clearly has more than that in the line drawing (I count 16). I'm sticking with what I can see in the drawings & movie stills/captures. Thats 4 on...

I like the glow you have as a muzzle flash! And the game lighting really shows off the model well. So, the movie Bengal. Does anyone recall it ever firing anything but torpedoes during the film? I did a quick scrub through but couldn't see anything... and the only turrets I could see in...

So its either got Lasers, Mass drivers or particle cannons! Gah! Talk about your mixed messages!!! Think I'm going to have to watch the movie again and judge from the footage, considering many of the descriptions relate to the 'Tiger's Claw' and not the 'Tiger Claw'... which in my mind are...

I notice the WC News ship database states 22 Dual-Mount Laser Turrets & 8 Dual-Mount Laser Batteries... Thats a strange distinction. Looking at the Concordia from the movie, it has very clear ship-to-ship turrets along the midline, and what appears to be smaller anti-fighter turrets scattered...

Hmmm. So a laser that can only fire along one axis? i.e. can't aim? What would be the point? Or are you thinking more like a gun emplacement? Kind of like the guns on WW2 german bombers:

Yes, you read the title correctly ;) In the confederation handbook (movie) it lists the Tiger Claw weaponry like thus: 22 Point Defence 8 Turreted Lasers etc. etc. So... Point defence what? More lasers? Machine guns? Throwing axes? Or do they just throw people out to punch the enemy?

Totally agree. I can't remember another craft that was more fearsome to approach. With every other engagement I could usually get a few salvoes off before I had to break, but with a squad (or even a single) Jalthi I was lucky to get even one. One thing to think of - it makes a difference what...

Ah! Feedback loop management style! Thats 'circular' as opposed to 'horizontal' company hierarchy... I'd always wondered what it was about, now I know, thanks! Isn't life wonderful, that there can be all these in-jokes in a serious business!

What up with the Dallas system? Any explanation why it has a jump line that folds back on itself?

Interestingly, the Confederation Handbook (movie) notes that the 'Tiger Claw' (gah!) is capable of housing & servicing a corvette-sized ship using the ventral docking bay (we see the Diligent enter this bay when it rendezvous' with the Claw). I guess that would be its 'escort'. Or at least...

The Kilrathi Saga version supports throttle & rudder pedals (or stick twist if you map the axis correctly).

I reckon you could make the Raptor a little larger... I can see it about 1/4 longer than the other craft (looking at cockpit size and the general feel of the thing). Just my 2 cents.

Heh heh, we can all sign digital NDA's...

Yeah I know - explains why he's the only person we see on the Kilrathi ship huh? Damn budget cuts! >> /offtopic [slaps self in face]

Its always baffling to hear about games begin cancelled mid-development. All those assets down the drain. Been happening a lot here in Australia where the game industry is a wreck - damn our high dollar! I remember when Prophecy was released, I was eagerly waiting for the rest of the...
