Whoa, whoa!

Those are points of reference, drawn after. I'm trying to show WHERE the doodads are- namely, not where they belong at all.

[zchris13]

Oh. Try rebuilding that front end. Use an inner slider, instead of that massive sliding front end.  The outside, you should parent the doodads to.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Yeah, I've experienced this bizarre problem with doodads...

 Unfortunately I haven't found a single solution beyond starting over. It is an extremely frustrating error that tends to discourage my use of them.

My theory is it occurs mostly when the doodads are spawned attached to a moving section.

[Sensei]

Better: I'll use the cheapass solution of parenting them to the middle section.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Still doesn't fix the fact that they are basically drawn on the opposite side of the ship.

Also,I'm almost done with my interceptor,I'm thinking it might be a bit large...

[Sensei]

Ay yi yi, another ship to approve? It's going to have to wait for the next battle or two, probably.

Anyway, it DOES work- the section I tied the smokes too isn't animated. And it looks great. Now to finish balancing...

Done. I'm not sure if the scale is alright or the weapons are acceptable(certainly less well armed than the dojo), It is currently in tune for balancing and the weapons aren't even set to the stats that would normally be used, also has base stats.

[Sensei]

Frankly, new ships are going to have to wait. CJ's ship is having problems on the order of the gun going through enemies without hurting them, or only damaging sections, not to mention being too weak altogether.

SHADOWdump, ship is cool. May remove some sections, will see about speed. Haven't actually downloaded yet.

No school tomorrow, we'll have our next battle then.

What's the base weapon and stats?

[Sensei]

Autocannon, tweaked to have to turning, 20 second (!) reload/fire time, 160 impact damage and 140 explosion damage. That's underpowered for sure, I might add, but the damage numbers can easily be changed to reflect being something that you have to build a whole ship around.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Autocannons do not 'explode', I trust you mean the submunition damage?

The submunition damage should be a fraction of the impact damage.

Also you say it is going directly through ships, what is the bullet speed set to?

Also 20 seconds is equal to 600. And my my is that a long time...

[Sensei]

Yes- 480 reload, 120 fire rate. Not 20 reload. 20 real seconds. Now for a gun that foes that, it had better do 1000 damage.

And the bullet speed was 45, I think.

[Zorgn]

Aye, sir! *hits mute button*

[SHAD0Wdump]

And the bullet speed was 45, I think.

45 then...
 To the testing chambers!

EDIT: Yes the damage is a little off,low... So tone that up. As for the projectile speed, how about leaving that and instead increasing the projectile size itself?
 You can do this by going to the ED2 tab and modifying the bullet x and y scales,remember these are multipliers so 2 will double the standard size.

[Sensei]

Alright, it's friggin' go time!

The planet Yarogolek is better defended than you had anticipated. However, it is only necessary to get everyone to the LZ (well, or for them to blow up). That's good, because you really aren't likely to beat all these guys. The Mauler is carrying the cargo. You're unsure what forces are hiding in the atmosphere of the dark side of the planet.
