Poll: Evil-looking cruiser turrets - hribek - 06-17-2009

Surprise! This is a poll, but there are no options that could distract you. The question is as follows:

Which type of cruiser turrets do you think has the most evil / scary effect?
(alternatively, provide a list of those you think are scary)

Post = vote. Thanks for your input.

there really is no turret that is remotely scary or intimidating, except the razor - and that only cause it is the only one that looks like more than a pin on a base.

even when its about the projectile i cannot really see any scary effect. - all the houses look cartoonish, outcasts ( no comment, they are pink.... hardly scary ), GMG, zoners, etc. are only brightly coloured blobs, too.

edit: if the razor had no HUGE white ball - it would look scary, cause it d be somewhat like a spiralled beam. - but with the ball, it looks like a soft white marshmellow

the only projectile in the game that i think is somewhat scary is the black widows from the xenos faction. - reason is that almost all our projectile ( heavy mortar the VERY most btw. ) look like they come straight from a comic book ( when its about the effect and colour, the heavy mortar comes from a "my little pony" book or so - its soo fluffy and colourful )

Lane Hacker ones look a bit menacing compared with some of the others.

no projectiles are really scary... it's hard to make scary in a game. Scary isn't watching a bunch of brightly coloured laser beams fly passed your ship, it's realising that power cell you just pulled out of the wall released a bunch of Metroids, and now you have to back track passed them all while they try to eat your face.

I vote that Barragers now shoot Metroids

Quote: it's realising that power cell you just pulled out of the wreck released a bunch of Metroid shooting Junkers, and now you have to Shield run past them all while they try to scrap your ship.

Yes, there are no really scary projectiles or weapons what-so-ever...but when the heavy mortar hits something it looks like a star just went nova :mellow:

:lol:(It is a perfect analysis in my opinion.)


Poll: Evil-looking cruiser turrets - DiscoveryAccount - 06-18-2009

I'd vote for that red/black weird projectile. It's probably the Xeno's Black Widows I guess

And as a second choice I would choose the good 'ol plain red lasers :cool:


Poll: Evil-looking cruiser turrets - Jinx - 06-18-2009

it doesn t really need awesome turret models - but it needs cause and effect to simulate "fear". - i find the capital ship beams in freespace "intimidating". - they insta-melt a fighter ( but a fighter only gets caught in them ever... if its his own fault ) - but they do burn holes "through" capital ships ( even in the in-game engine )

thats what i find scary - to imagine the hulls of such huge vessels being bored - just like that.

Admins Trebuchets on the battleship, forgot who had it but it came out and fired during the 4.85 final release.
