what about planetary bombardment???

Sat Aug 30, 2003 4:12 pm by blaXXer

when I fly a BS then I get to the point when I've killed everything that is to kill around a hostile planet...then I was askin' myself whether it is possible to include a function called: PLANETARY BOMBARDMENT
what means: when you fly a battleship you can shoot on the planet and a counter shows you the amount of destruction or something and when you destroyed enough, the planet will surrender...or something like this...

would be grateful for feedback...

As in - once you have beaten it to a certain extent they send up all the women aged between 18-26? Hmm - this is only a game.......but it would be cool if you could 'command' a few ships instead (wingmen) and then 'invade' places...... but that would just be turning it into another stratedgy game wouldn't it?

no...when the planet surrenders you can get some goods the planet produces (as loot or sth.)
I thnk it would be funny when in MP clan_a robs clan_b's planet...

You can do that. Sort of.
I got idea from the Mollys, get a Cargo hold full of MOX and jettison it into a planets atmosphere. And that is one home made Dirty Bomb, go and beat the Mollys to it. Now if only it was real destruction...

Me:Ok One last chance to surrender!
Enemy:WHAT! We outnumber you 6 to 1!
Me: Maybe I could drop some weapons to make it easier for you!

Well....Anyone actually thought about that planets ARE destructable??

See it this way:

Everything in FL has Health. Everything. Even suns have health. BUT, some things don't have a bar a la health as it wasn't added to the destroyable solars!!

<I might change that, but planets will still have a heck of alot of health!!>

Wouldn't it be possible to create a planet as an object (like a wreck) that can be destroyed? Then have it leave loot like prisoners and other commodities, etc...

It'd be awesome if we could get that to work...

What were the settings for that planet moving gun? I have explosion effects that would destroy a moond if it was real. I'd like to combine the 2.
