It works fine.

Just like Cetanu said Repeat Count: 99999

Have tested it long time ago, but found no real use to it...

If you`ve not tried Key-pressed with a repeat count I suggest you try it now. It does not work the way you think it works. The robotech team tried it that way for the transform and it didn`t work very well.
I suggested trying that but when I was told that it worked I gave it a try myself. The Key-pressed / Reset-Key cycle works once then stops working.

yeah i know repeat time puts it in infinite loop which fires continuos fire, but there is other way to do it...

Just can't remember what it was, I tested that 4 years ago, you cant expect me to remember it... And since its useless, why to use it?

Posted by karajorma on 09-21-2002 06:14 PM:

I can think of uses If you find the mission I`d love to see how you did it

Posted by FSF Ashrak on 09-21-2002 06:42 PM:

a large fighter super weapon that drains all gun power for a minute... (yeah i know excaliber)

I would still probably have it, unless my old hard drive wouldn't be whiped out by CIH, I lost that mission and various others like my half-made campaign with 32 missions

Posted by karajorma on 09-21-2002 09:00 PM:

Forgot about that. Sorry to bring up painful memories

Posted by Lady Rose on 09-21-2002 09:40 PM:

Ah, dont worry about it... I got over it and now I make safe copy for all good FS2 mission. Just learned it hard way, oh well doesn't matter, I have now new goal

Posted by Edwin on 09-24-2002 02:16 AM:

What is CIH?

Yeah... Activates only on Tzernobyl day (that power plant, if you dont know)

And somehow I forgot to search for virus, day before it... Oh well. It camed out so that I got new computer

Small ID:

Tractor beams for pick-ups and a small cargo-bay for these "Bluestars".

*hides from a good fruit-pelting*

And when the White-stars become pilotable AND have fighterbays, it would be...fun. Loosing fighters in mid-combat would be a handy ace up the sleeve...

of course, it owuld be more realistic it it were simle gunboys, but still...

Tractor beams are already possible.
Make a beam and use negative mass value and of course zero damage. This way when the beam will fire at the target, it will pull it.

And I am quite sure that WS will not have a fighterbay, or then we will have two versions. But if player flies WS and a squadron of fighters will be launched from this WS, results can be a little... unsatisfactory to say the least.

But anyway, only in one episode does WS have fighters. In FS2 this is not practical in my opinion. Special cases and reasonable use of transports is another thing.

well can't you make it so that fighters are launched only at the press of a certain key?

no. I think that Mr. Fury is quite right. Fighters flying from a docking bay, just before pressing the turbo would be unhealthy at the least.

I think it wouldn't be a great loss to do the WS without fighters.
How much Nials can it take? 4 I think.

Posted by Someone on 10-02-2002 09:00 AM:

And how would you be able to aunch them?

If you did that while maneuvering, you'd tear your ship up. No thanks.

Mines or gunboys which are dropped from the rear of the ship would make it interesting...imagine leaving a few automated turrets in your wake, who will open wide on your chasers...woo...
