EVE General Discussion

I don't get credit for the information but I have agree it makes too much sense and thought it needed attention.
If CCP feels it voilates thier NDA, lock/delete please, but they should have been more careful on thier censoring.

The two unreadable notes referred to are likely Rockets (as noted) and Light.

I certainly hope this is correct, as it would mean they have made at least some meaningful progress in how they want to handle added visible missile bays to ships.

Although i can't remember from the Gallante alts I've trained up,.. does the Gallante noob ship have to ability to use missiles currently? Or would that be a new wrinkle introduced with the new models?

Also, I noted that there is a drone bay hatch depicted. It would be nice if they actually took it a step further and had a bay (on the models that depict them) or a hatch added that actually opened and drones (or fighters/fighter bombers) launched could be seen exiting the ship from that opening.

Silly, I know, as drones are usually little more than brackets (if that) unless zoomed in on... but nice if you happened to be looking closely at your own ship (or another) while it was in the process of launching or retreiving them.

Actually they declared there was phsyics issues involving the turrets plausability and they where going to explore the possibility and never updated us about it other than 'were discussing it' notion.

It seems they have explored and found cost effect meaningful and is now paying the development prices for it.

Well that the CSM saw where probably the hit effects. Those are not dependend on the physics but they are leftovers from old days and needed to be redone.

The phsyics is that missiles are acutal flying objects in the game, back in the old days missile would detonate if they hit something before the target, a behavior I would like to see put back in.

Whole reason why missiles cause lag as well becuase they're adding inventory to the space which is tracked mathed out then disposed of quickly.

Anyways because it is an actual object means it acutually has a collection object in it as well. When you generate a collision objects at just the right spot on each other they produce some of the weridest effects in space. Such as dreadnaughts flying 44au/s without using a warp drive.

This was easily solved in the old days by generating the object within the spehere where its effect is a non issue as it exited the ship. It was explored ages past as well but never implimented bantam was one stated example that had launcher spots before where they would try to tie in the missile exit point with the tubes on the ship itself.

Well, to be honest, the CSM notes referenced a great BSG clip (or comments on those notes did) in relation to some experimental weapons effects being tried out.

We all assumed that all they were referring to was the great explosion and missile flight characteristics in those clips, but perhaps they were also referring to the flak turrets as well, only done as missile batteries.

Either way, any approximation of the effects in that clip will carry me for quite some time to come.

That was suggested the collision object not having a model but a particle effect instead and have the launchers throw out a particle that meets up with the collision object.

That way you still have the object which can be shot down, save on polygons as missiles currently are spike polys and most likely particle will be a simpler math to impliment.

I hope the new wingy bits are ever just as awsome.

You do realize there is subtle trolls all throughout the video right?
