warp weapon idea...

is it possible to make a weapon that when u fire, u r warped to a system of your choice? meaning, a gun could be made for each system and when u fire u get taken to the system that gun is made for. just a thought if anyone wants to try make it happen...

hmmmmm well for it to wqork u would have to be bale to dock with the weapon adn that trigger a gate to that system, second of all the wep would be left behind, third of all to do this u would most likely have to change the code to get it to work right, so as of now i think it is impossible

Ya, I don't think it's possable either, but sounds like a kool idea.

What about that recent poster who was p'offed at this idiot modder called Killster that fired a weapon and sent his target to a system with no jumps? Isn't that similar to what this is about? I think someone figured out how to use it against people, if not for himself.

As a thought of my own, could there be a series of different "weapons" hardpoints be used for each system in the game? Which ever you want to jump to, you just select the right one and jump? Instead if trying to get one to go everywhere.

i think his name was killstar

there are three ways we can describe the Starlancer forums if TLR was a town.....
they are either the ghettos, the old folk homes, or the graveyard

it would be very cool for playing with a battleship...cuz it'S not realistic to enter such a "small" jumgate/-hole with such a big BS...

Uhm YES IT IS realistic because in FL storyline a CERTAIN BATTLESHIP is known and SAID to be going through a CERTAIN jump hole in a CERTAIN MISSION (im obviously avoiding causing this thread to be moved to spoilers, hehe)

no really, we know they can use em. The solution IMHO: make the JUMP HOLES bigger instead.

No - it cannot be done. Jumpgates and jumpholes have object definition in the systems ini files. This is the same problem for player ships being dockable bases. you would also need entries into the system files, and universe for the dockable player ships (as objects).

The guns would also then need a shortest path and other entries done. Is it possible - no.
Was killster really able to do that thing? NO
It was just another big old fairy tale to get people talking and believing rubbish.

Don't believe me? Well - someone shot me and i appeared in omicron gamma and was flying an elephant!! I have lots of witnesses.................... - sound like that post about it?

This is the thread http://www.lancersreactor.com/t/forum/t ... lse&S=True

Reyen seemed to know how you could do that but he posted it when he was not in the best of moods so who knows
