GC bomber

[chopper]

Actually, bellow cockpit is harder to hit with (BHG bomber like).
If you look at the FA bomber, you'll notice that it won't be able to shoot up at all, only down.
It's tubes are on the back of the ship and bellow the ship.
I'd say leave the sizes as they are in upper comparing thingie, FA bomber is bigger there anyway.
Point being, I think the cockpit is a bit on a SN way for FA bomber, if you want to shoot up.
Anyhow, both will be tested in betas I guess, so we can balance them out then.

As for Hitboxes, while FA bomber can go with resized Dragon hitbox, I'v no idea what could go with GC one.
Maybe the one that Loki/Odin uses?
It's shape is similar to Snubnose, so I guess resized Wrath could go as well.

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.

suggested weaponry : 4 lvl 10 guns, 2 torpedo slots, 1 mine, 1 CD, 1 CM

Is the bolded part a typo? It seems like a lot of firepower for a small bomber.

But two torps AND a CD?

arent torp slots the same thing as CD slots.... meaning that you can mount them both on a torp slot? I swear that on my catamaran it says"Torpedo/Disruptor"


anyways.... i love it jinx.... ayame is DEFINATELY purchasing one next mod :D

If it says "Torpedo/Disruptor", you can mount both CDs and torpedos. But if it says "Torpedo" OR "Disruptor", you can only mount one type.

they can be defined as CD only slots, too ( see death scythe ) - but i already wrote that it was a typo. its just a basic bomber. - 4 guns, 2 torps/CD a mine and a CM - thats it.

ya basically thats what i meant... on my catamaran i have a torp in one of the slots and a CD in the other... so it would be nice if i could do that on this bomber as well

How's it coming along so far, Jinx? Can you try it out with a colour scheme of purple/gold? Or maybe just gold? And send me a few screenshots of it so I can see what it looks like?:)

i have retextured it already. - i have tried custom dyed skins - and it looked aweful. - the current look is:

dark grey wings, silvery webbing, civilian frame ( bronze ). i have increased the resolution of the texture a little and the whole ship is showing a bit more contrast.



i ve tested it in a strong ambient light ( delta ). it has no more blueish/grey parts like the BW ships.

the problem i had with the custom dyed skins was that they looked "unnatural" much. they looked cheap and somewhat not like the material was supposed to look like - more like a toy you get with a kids meal at McDonals.

now - the advantage of having a generic civilian skin is that it goes well with the eagle ( yay ) - but of course doesn t look very much like a kusari ship anymore. the texture is most likely uploaded anyway and the game does not freeze ( for the opponent ) when he is forced to upload the custom textures.

i know its not what you wanted - and i can change it again... if you INSIST on purple gold, you will get purple gold.... or red or whatever - but colours have the problem that you can get too much of it, while a generic texture does not have such a problem. - the quality of a generic texture is better than the quality of a custom texture - cause the generic texture was made by professionals and the custom texture would be made by me.

[Jinx]
