Outcast Gunboat MK III - Treewyrm - 04-07-2008
' Wrote:What about expanding the piece that connects the wing-strut-thingies to the projection from the bottom of the ship? We coould make it wider and fatter, then concave it a bit on both ends and turn it into an engine bank, too. That wouldn't necessitate a full retexture or anything too effort-consuming, would it?It will affect both model and hitbox, with the latter I'd rather not to touch with a ten feet pole unless absolutely necessary. Though, perhaps I'll do that. Gotta think.
p.s. that piece you are referring to is currently called a "leg" in terms of ship components.

--- Edited. Only saw it was a custom hitbox now.

It shouldn't affect the hitbox by more than a couple of units, would it? I mean, if I remember correctly the height difference between the end of the bottom of the leg and bottom of the keystone-thingy is about three units...The difference will probably be unnoticeable, and the very fact that we have a working custom hitbox is quite remarkable. Changing it seems unnecessary, as the volume and distribution of the ship is not even noticeably changing...
EDIT: Linkus, backread, please, we did make a custom hitbox...Yuri is going to get his name up in lights for it, too, if I have anything to say about it...

Yeah sorry for that, literally only read that after I had posted >.<

*chuckles* Why not just hollow out the nose a bit and slap the forward firing gun in there? Like a mini torp tube.
A huge rotating cannon mounted onto the ship is going to look a little odd on the design anyways.
Just a thought.
(And not a very good one at that, granted.)

Or carve a slot into the top of the nose and put an Inferno cannon in it. only 30 degree firing arc, of course.

No, not a turret, a gun.

Fighter inferno?
With the crazy powersupply GBs have?
Not going to happen.
Outcast Gunboat MK III - Eppy - 04-07-2008
Agreed. I pandied around an Inferno Forward Gun for a little while but eventually ruled it out as ineffective. Shields come back, and Mjolnir is correct, a Fighter Inferno would be ridiculously overpowered...
