LOL!!! I could do that, if you want. I haven't started chopping it up into seperate entities yet. I bet it's going to be a joy to unwrap in it's present state. I'll give it a shot, and let you know.GGShinobi wrote:How about releasing 2 different versions - version 1 without animations (or just simple ones) and another one with many subentities on which I can try to get all those animation stuff to work?
That way I and the rest of the Ooniverse wouldn't have to wait so long for this awesome ship to be released!
And when I someday manage to get the animations to work, you can make an upgrade release with both versions in one package (similar to Falcon and Falcon-S in Kestrel&Falcon.oxp).

It may be a while yet. I always do a thorough balancing of my ships, any more. For a while, without knowing it, I was releasing ships that weren't balanced the best. I think I have all those corrected, now. This Comet is proving to be a real bugger to balance. There is just so much of it, that it's going to take some doing to get it aligned straight, and true. Sorry.GGShinobi wrote:Cool!
Yeah, I'll get my Comet soon...
EDIT: I just discovered that with "What type of new ships would people like to see as OXPs" there exists a thread wit a similar topic... (adding link to first post now)

Hmm...? no problem.. I... I ain't got time anyway for flying the comet you know. 
I'm working on the External Repair System, and my brother came to visit me... and I really oughta work and study anyway. So all fine.

No seriously, it's great that you put so much effort into this. This will be the perfect ship!! And I really like that pleasant anticipation that it gives me to wait for it! 
OK I've decided to have a look at putting together a Fireball XL5 OXP.Diziet Sma wrote:And, of course, the legendary Fireball XL5
Which, because of the detachable nosecone section, is just crying out for Smivs latest Oo-tech

Evil idea for the week.. include the theme song in the OXP, wired up to replace the docking music..Thargoid wrote:There are a few clips on youTube which may help (if you can ignore the ones for the theme song).
As you may have seen in one or more of the YouTube clips (eg episode 1, Planet 46), the missiles are on internal mounts at the side of "Fireball Junior". That particular episode only shows them being fired from the left of the ship, so I'm not certain whether there was a starboard bay also, and how many missiles in total, although I don't remember them ever being in short supply.Shipbuilder wrote:OK I've decided to have a look at putting together a Fireball XL5 OXP.

Therefore I was hoping that those of you who have more knowledge may be able to advise on some or all of the following: -

This would lead to sombrero fallout - which is an excellent tale!Diziet Sma wrote:... but the thought of EV's head asploding makes it an intriguing idea to contemplate!
The only control you get over exhausts is the position, nothing else. They might be made more scriptable eventually.Shipbuilder wrote:Does anyone know if it is possible to script exausts so that they only become active when a ship is travelling at maximum speed ?
