Cool, big railguns with lotsa Dakka!

Plasma cannon with missile launcher actually

also, it appears its quite different to make bullet models with shape components, fortunately I appear to have worked out how to do it.

[TinkerPox]

Let's say plasma bursts, and make the ammo be something like 'xenon canister' (Xenon is a pretty good gas to be used for plasma, I think).
After all, we are going for a sci-fi theme.
You gotta make sure to reduce/negate the ballistic arc if there's a config for that, since-although it is scientifically stupid-many people automatically assume any energy weapon flies perfectly straight.

Negating the ballistic arc is easy, I've already done that with all the lasers. And I might as well make the new gun use these plasma bursts, but they won't do as much damage as the tank version. I'll also make shoot the new missiles.

I know I'm suppose to do the AF-12 before all this but when I finish that I'll get all excited and rush a release, probably better to do some smaller stuff and work out the bugs in the process. Also I've finally installed Manus's packages on 1.6.4, and a fair amount is hilariously broken, and I think I can prevent this happening to mine.


Also minor update, Gadfly now flies like a helicopter.

And yes Tinker, that means the Samson can fly like a proper helicopter.

YAY! But, how?

Playing with the physics properties. Manus had it halfway there, in that it hovered but it would turn at all, and I've gone and refined it.

Did I also mention we can have pointy missiles now?

That's right.

Pointy.

Fuch yeah

[Prototype]

polished off the plasma burst model:




and a size comparison to the current laser model:

[Prototype]

Missiles are now 84% sexier

[Archduke Daynel, PhD]

Very plasma. Such missile. Wow. Amaze.

[Ivan2006]

poor, unfortunate victims of the Futurecraft arsenal...

[CMA]

Much eye candy, very texture.

Although the smoke particles looks strange.

Thats because it isn't moving, I worked out how to spawn stationary bullet entities.

[Luna]

If it were me I would either make the missile longer or thinner.

[Error]

I pity those who shall fight the full fury of the FC arsenal. Also, pretty pretty plasma bursts.

[Ivan2006]

That would make it look like an air-to-air missile. We want an anti-tank missile, for which the proportions are correct.

you really wouldn't be able to tell if it was made longer or shorter, it just needs to resemble a missile. and explode.

I have not seen the mod in actions so fair point.
