How hard would it be to make a tholian web for BC?

Well, I'm not a coder, but I suppose that very hard. But I know someone made a projectile that spawned a nebula, so I suppose you could do the same with a web-textured sphere.

I'm not even concerned with the look of it, id rather have a projectile that just gives the effects of the web without the display, then have the display with no effect.

How about a bunch of those point-ships, you know, the almost-no-model ships they use for machinima and blind targetting, invisible to the naked eye? Equip them with like 4 phasers with sufficient arcs. When the weapon is fired, position how ever many of them at points around the ship and have them fire continuous beams at each other, creating the web.

The point about gameplay is a good one, though. KA had an ingame web weapon, though as I recall it was more of a momentary inconvenience than an episode-long handicap.

personally, I'd rather have the SFB-like effects than the KA effects, but how to replicate that in a 3D environment? I'm not sure.... Maybe some sort of middle-ground would be nice - If a weapon's scripter wants to come in here and offer ideas, then I definately won't say no :-)

I've never played SFB. How did the web work?

Complicated question to which I am not entirely sure how to explain the answer. Let me refresh myself on the rules for it.

In the mean time - I just released two small-craft packs for SFC. IF someone would like to port them to BC let me know.
They are very low-poly (due to the fact that there can be dozens of fighters on the board at once in SFC) The highest poly ship in both these packs is 536 triangles.

You ought to note that these are in red. The Federation Starfighter Corps uses red instead of blue. Alternate textures were made available to make the fighters Starfleet blue.

Looks like there's a little Macross influence in those fighters. ;)

Furyofaseraph · « **Reply #147 on:** November 06, 2009, 11:43:24 AM »

Yup - macross in the fighters and Y-wing in the PFs

King Class Scout · « **Reply #148 on:** November 06, 2009, 12:20:30 PM »

not just Macross, but Transformers. one of the Macross toys was repurposed AS a transformer (Jetfire), plus, the foreward swept ones look like Scourge.

I'm glad to see that you did something with these ship models. The ones you sent me are still sitting in a folder wating to be used,lol. This looks great.

Indeed. I much prefer the gunboats to those fighters.

Furyofaseraph · « **Reply #152 on:** November 16, 2009, 08:48:47 AM »

I'll just leave this here...

bankruptstudios · « **Reply #153 on:** November 16, 2009, 08:56:50 AM »

THese are sweet. They are for your orignal universe right?

Furyofaseraph · « **Reply #154 on:** November 16, 2009, 09:02:58 AM »

they are remakes of the SFC models - which is my current massive project.
These are the Mirak

bankruptstudios · « **Reply #155 on:** November 16, 2009, 09:20:33 AM »

Oh, don't remember them from SFC, they still rock!!

limey BSc. · « **Reply #156 on:** November 16, 2009, 09:29:29 AM »

They almost look like a timelapse of an animals growth xD (Youngest on the right obviously)

Furyofaseraph · « **Reply #157 on:** November 21, 2009, 12:41:15 PM »

Mirak are being textured.

bankruptstudios · « **Reply #158 on:** November 21, 2009, 04:35:44 PM »

I think it's safe to say, your hands down one of the best texture makers out here. Cookie!

Furyofaseraph · « **Reply #159 on:** November 21, 2009, 04:53:00 PM »

High compliment, considering other faces about.

I'm not sure if I like where this went, though - it feels sort of flat.
