ISDF Concepts

Compared to that I still use a hammer and chisel.

[VSMIT]

I hereby call dibs on General_Hoohah.

[TheJamsh]

I already bagsied him for some stuff

[General_Hoohah]

I pretty much finished it. Problem is... untriangulated, its nearly 3000. Doesn't matter to me though. I'm on a Phenom 3.2, 4Gb, 4870 X2 gaming system with 1000w of power. hehe I get about 325fps in BZ2.



ISDF V-Spec II Heavy Fighter (functions as a scout)

- Hollow frame (like a bird) for light weight and fast manuverability. You can actually see stright through many parts of it.
- High powered engines
- Quad Chain Guns, 2x Assault Missiles, 2x Combat Missiles, 1 Flax
- Fins on front rotate with jets for extra pitch manuverability

LOL, I hope theres a way to put that many weapons on a vehicle in BZ2.

[AHadley]

Maximum 4, so you'll be OK with those.

[TheJamsh]

You wont, because its a maximum of five hardpoints

[AHadley]

Oh, is it? Interesting. Highest I've ever seen is four.

[cheesepuffly]

I knew that, you didnt?

[AHadley]

God knows.

[General_Hoohah]

Can't they raise it?

[cheesepuffly]

Donno but five is enough.

[General_Hoohah]

5 is never enough.

[TheJamsh]

no plans to raise the HP limit as far as im aware, as the interface might crap out

i know you can only have 4 different weapons at once, but split between five hardpoints.

[Commando]

Yes, you are limited to 4 distinct groups of hardpoints and a limit of 5 total hardpoints.  Look at the ISDF Sabre for an example.  It has 5 hardpoints.  1 cannon, 2 guns, 1 mortar, and 1 special.

I would love to see the total number of hardpoints raised, notice I did not say total number of groups.

Even if bz2 supported an array for one hardpoint, fired hardpoint alternating, would look cool.  For example the unit above only has one gun fire at a time, but there are 4 guns in the array.

[GSH]

Main thing is that I don't believe it's a change worth spending time on. Basically, I see having larger number of hardpoints/weapons/etc as a "mine is bigger than yours" war over a certain part of the male anatomy. Balance is better achieved when there's a fewer number of variables in play, rather than simply adding "more."
