Thinking back, (not nitpicking just my observation) does anyone else think that for as long as it takes to charge up, the charge cannon is depressingly short in terms of firing? It should be longer :ninja: but maybe do less damage so it's the same damage overall.
You can fire it whenever you want, but at max charge it will one hit ANYTHING. The short fire time balances it out. There are other weapons for sustained damage and shit.
Oh. Well I didn't know that you didn't say anything. :ninja: I assume a weapon that says "Charging: X%" means it has to be 100% before firing. Can you maybe show us a few of the sustained damage weapons? Are there other laser beams? Like a THEL?

No. The USB Stick of Doom is all you get. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5459632/frontier_testmap30005.jpg[/img]

These heat ray things make me think of a dead fish when I look at them.

Is that a spawnable suit pod over there on the side of the screen? Or is that just built into the map?
[QUOTE=FarseerWrait;22850499]Is that a spawnable suit pod over there on the side of the screen? Or is that just built into the map?[/QUOTE] It looks built in.
I've been wondering what those things are. They're...just large barrel-type things. They spawn with the map, although you can spawn them, too.
Hey was wondering what they said in the video, so i write it down here. Lazermaniac: Yeah, let's get some molten slaggery goin! Chad: It'll be hard Chad: because the beam fades Chad: So lets try and think of a way to compensate for that Slash: I wish I could smack people with a mattress in real life Lazermaniac: Well, the beam should only fade if it doesn't hit anything lol
You can't say it wouldn't be fun.
Those red cylinders are Suit Lockers. They spawn with the map, but they can be spawned if needed (Probably an admin-only entity).

I've bookmarked this thread, this looks truly epic and I can't wait for it to be released, at some point... :f5h:

Guess he should stock em more, anyways........ Agreed cant wait, looks great. It looks like sheer brilliance of a build. Also, do you think that the space-build enhancement stuff (ie: the ships hull models) would be compatible with this? or do you guys plan on using other props that you make yourself?

It was a good idea with horrible execution imho

I don't know about you, but for most people the word "gay" is not a description of inanimate objects. If you must personify the addon, then even then the description makes no sense. If you don't like the addon, fair enough, but don't go "its gay". That is not enough of a reason. Explain yourself!

Some of the entities do use energy, however a group of us have volunteered to move them across to Frontier when it is released (assuming it is not back-compatible with current life support entities).
[QUOTE=LokiSan;22883502]So its this guy?[/QUOTE] You take things a bit literal. In retrospect, perhaps I should have said "Stupid looking". E: For example, they horribly mutative textures. It honestly seems as if someone spent a whole 5 minutes on them, without bothering to look up reference pictures of deck plating and various metals you see inside of the base HL2 Game itself.

I'm against that kind of thing personally, takes the creativity out of building and organizing life support. (Just my opinion, not saying it couldn't be added third party.) I'm an old school kind of guy, I love my obscure trainstation props.
