i can't make a normal ship let alone a person

but what a funny idea

May the force be with you, for me, to poop on.

Yup, the idea has been floating around; I think I may do it.

imagine i might have a few models u may like to create its part of my idea of aboarderworld ships expansion and stuff. i drew it in cad. so i have an idea for a boarder world cruiser new heavy fighter styles light fighter and advanced, but at this point still too noobish to do em myself

lol I'm glad you like my idea I just realized how amusing it would be to see him take off....lol

Every gun counts.

He will need a major gun mount system, though. On the real scale, a weapon is as long as a person is tall.

Yeah... maybe we can stick a ceramic cone up his butt and power him with beans! Give him a cape and an "S" on his chest!

Seriously though... he would have a real armor problem, and like another member mentioned it would be hard to arm him correctly. Maybe it would be better to give him a sort of "space sled" type ship with some shielding and one good gun mounted on the bottom and him on the top... sort of a "luge" type thingy with an oblong bubble around it. I have made a couple of "rail guns" that might be applicable for that purpose, as the br railgun is sort of long, but light enough to suit this application. It might take someone with more skill than I to actually draw a suitable weapon for this, but I think a rail gun would still be the way to go psysics-wise. I have often wished someone would draw a different dedicated turret. The one in the game (li_turret) is perhaps small enough but kind of plain looking and the box-like "receiver" portion is kind of bulky, though the overall length is probably about right.

There is another interesting ship I have been flying lately called the "girl power" that is a sphere that goes in that direction. It carries 4 guns and mines and countermeasures, but is fun to fly.

The whole sled idea and trying to scale the weapons while realistic, ruins the fun in the idea. Even if he were on a sled, in reality about one hit ought to kill him anyways. So make him an evil guy in a space suit, but make him look kool. his gun, while small could be justified as some powerful alien artifact i dunno.

While the idea as playing in a little suit sounds kool, i think it would be even better if you made them npc ships and program them into the encounter profiles. They might take one hit to kill but they'd be small, agile, and there should be about 15 of them.



"Moloch, horrid King besmear'd with blood
Of human sacrifice, and parents tears,
Though for the noyse of Drums and Timbrels loud
Thir childrens cries unheard, that past through fire
To his grim Idol. Him the Ammonite"

no, this guy's going to have some character. Will be arming the weapon full-size; you will understand how when you see it. Basically still in a space-suit, but decked out with thrusters. It will be very interesting.

The Space Sled would still look crap.My idea is to make a new gun.You can buy it at detroit munitions.It would be a gun about 5x smaller, and then shape it into a shotgun.

I want some Taqitos-Simpsons old man

well I did a new turret, brand new never before seen , it even works: level 6, damage: shield 180, hull 180 refire rate 100, man the thing hits like a train but sucks energy like there is no tomorrow, probably really level 12 and we calculated that if you could keep the energy up to it, if someone somehow fired 6000 shots in that minute then damage x rfr = (it would deliver) 1,080,000 damage if they hit with all! That is enough to take out a cruiser..........

though pehaps a liitle large for the sled idea - but one at least does exist .......... I cant claim all the credit, I had help from wanderer and parabolix ..... but for some reason no-one seems interested

Retreat[![! ---- I'm too badly messed up now[![!

can you post the pics of your turret so we can see. and of course the mod file for it.

Working hard to earn... but too lazy to do something...

firebase,

ok so here it is, is a little large for a small ship but will be rescaled for the final version of the Epsilon mod, as for the mod files for just the chaingun, we hadn't really thought that a seperate mod file for just one weapon was justified, and the mod may be a while yet ....... for some reason no-one wants to help out.

Anyway the picture follows: ( I hope )
