If I had that mod I'd never be bored of NPC battles again. If only discovery had things like this.

it does look like a nice battle but i do not get bored here that often we have players to do that:)

Itano Circus is amazing. I played it, the view distance has been changed so you can see NPC's from a whole tradelane away and all sorts of stuff.
The explosion effects are fantastic, and as you said the NPC fights are epic.
I love it. Alot.

More bloom... some sort of swarm missile pod... flak cannons... longer engine trails...
Sorry, not impressed.
(And Patriots and Bloodhounds taking down dreadnoughts? Eh...)

Swarm missiles again, I really don't think so ... We got rid of those a while ago. And stress test ? With how
many players on ? I suspect with our load, it wouldn't be quite the same I'm afraid.
But hey, whatever floats ya boat ...
Hoodlum
This is way more epic, it actually involves players ... http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=30065

It wasn't an online stress test f00ls, it was a FL engine stress test. Stuff like this would never fly online without causing immense lag, unless somebody hacked the FL DLLs somehow.
But like Loh said to me the other day: FL engine can handle a lot more than it is handling now... just check the awesome gun effects in the 4.85 promo video.

It looks pretty nice, not sure if I want to be there, but it is good for looking ,altough hardly applicable online. But nothing aginst seeing more videos, eh.

Right, I like the visuals but this is a small amount multiplayer mod and not like disco a MMORP like version.
I prefer disco really
Epic NPC fight... - Nightwind - 01-13-2009
If I compare both vids I have to admit, that the Itano Circus One definitely looks WAY better. The Disco one somehow bores me...
And like Bodo said: It's just an engine stress test.
Why485 really makes phantasic videos... and IC as a great mod (unfortunately nearly nobody actually plays it online...)
But Discovery definitely has its own charme
Epic NPC fight... - Commodore - 01-14-2009
Yeah.
For multiplayer/ roleplaying, Discovery>Itano Circus
But Itano Circus>Discovery if you like to fight NPC's.
But I still think the NPC AI should be modified in 485 to make them funner to fight rather than just waiting for them to come at you, shoot, then start dodging.
