I know, which means that the VCD can be used in either EA vs Drakh missions or ISA vs Anyone (in an emergency do you think that the ISA's best ship would not be used?). Even though there is only one ship in its class there is a fair degree of scope to make missions for it.

Ashrak: You don't learn, do you. You're still trying to take this thread off-topic even when told not to. You're trying to play moderator when you are not and never will be.

And since post count seems to be so important, -10.
Keep it up and I add zeroes.

<-- not happy.

Calm down Alphakiller, Ashrak is not worth of your increased blood pressure.

so yeah, rest assured that we will *probably* find a way to handle the VCD's main gun, as well as White Stars and Hyperspace.

Our man on the source, Avenger, seems to be very competent.

Notice I said probably, not definitely.

Ashrak, maybe you don't know... being "a great poster" doesn't mean that you must have a high post count, it's about the contents of the posts...

Y'know, Ice, if I were moderator, I'd give him a 1-week banning and a thorough excuse as to why he got banned. When he gets to come back, if he causes any more trouble he gets axed for good.

Unless anyone's got something more devious?

JC Denton: Ever talked to Brando? We don't need suggestions on being devious (although we appriciate it ) because we've got him on staff.

Well, after scrounging around B5Tech, I came upon [url=http://www.b5tech.com/movies/testfire2.asf]this[/url] clip from A Call To Arms. While it is a bit low-res, it does give a fairly decent idea of what the main gun firing looks like.

And it looks like the feeder beams ARE straight from the wingtip engine pods, with a few more coming from the rear of the engines. No curvyness in the beams needed. Although that animation is gonna be really tough to duplicate...

Also note that the feeder beams merge some distance in front of the ship, with the main beam being projected from the center of the forward weapons cluster. Maybe it won't be so hard to do after all. The only source code changes I can think of are ones relating to animating textures on beams. Composite beams for another day.
