A day in the life of Mr. B

[Quarto]

I dunno... after playing WCP for so long, it would feel strange to me to have capships disappear .

 

[Iceblade]

--Hey, I'm BACK!--

Either option is easily codable into the mission, but making a capship disappear doesn't make sense and a destroyed capship model would not only add to the size but put some burden on poor Eder--whose has been worked to death already.
But we love him for it. --his work ethic and diligence, I mean

So, any of the staff of Standoff tried Flight Commander, yet?

So much for the great outdoors for today. Mind your head on the way in, you don't wanna embarrass yourself in front of the rookies like the other Mr. B in his Ferret.

Is the landing bay in the back of the ship because that's just how the game treats landings (on the Cerberus and the Midway), or was that a design decision?

 

[Lynx]

As far as I know it's a design decision, though as far as I know there's nothing that stands against it. It was only stated to have one launch bay, noot if it's a fly through or not.

The Firekka, the ship you saw on the picture, has a WC3/WC4-style run-through landing/launching runway.

The Lionheart, your home capship fro the prologue, has WCP-style launchtubes and landing bays, those landing bays being at the rear bottom because the WCP engine requires it

How can we make the Firekka's fly-through runway work, then ? Instead of using WCP's automated launch and land funtions, we had to script both the takeoff and landing.

Our Tarawa-type CVEs have run-through decks as Pierre said (you can see the other end here), and that was purely a design decision.

I modelled the ship long before I found out that having a rear entrace to the deck allowed use of the built-in landing cutscenes (like on the Cerberus and Midway). Turns out this saves on coding time, so hey, that's even better.
