adding two new beam types - a straight fire fighter beam [literally, comes straight out of the gun ports] and a tracking fighter beam [you can set how much it can drift - ie 5 degrees from straight to track, etc]

Will the straight-fire beam fire from all the mounts? And will it have a warmup/warmdown cycle?

Awesome, and... is that like a beam that'll stay focused on target within the 5 degree cone? Automatically?

Question, what is the source code written in.

Kazan a few ideas, that might be implimentable:

1) Add a section to the fighter beam code so you can select the missile it uses for each beam.

2) A beam that acts like a tractorbeam and is cone shaped.

3) Make objects rotate around the models X Axis not freespace 2's defaut axis. (this alows for infinate degrees of rotations)

4) Alow objects to rotate in more than one Axis.

5) Up the table limit for all tables, up the polly limit and ship limit.

6) change the cheat activation sequence "www.freespace2.com" to somthing like "Fozzy Rules"

I almost forgot:

A) make lasers have heat and aspect seeking
and
B) missiles (.pof) be avalable for primary weapons.


C) Kazan have you figured out what the "Beam" section of the Weapons.tbl is for, because it is never used.

D) Can you make the beams celindrical (mapped on to a beam.pof) this will get rid of the flat look which is what drags me back to reality when i am playing FS.

E)Can you make .ANI files mappable onto FS ships so we can have cool new effects. (Could be usefull for the shaddow ships in the Babylon Project)

F) can you make a 3D Hud (.pof) to go infront of the camera like Starlancer to give the player the fealing that they are in there favorate ship. (it would be hard to make it so it does not display outside aswell)
