An asteroid gun platorm.
on: March 16, 2003, 09:25:01 am
I have started work on a sentry gun platform built into an asteroid. It would be useful as it could hide within an asteroid field, and kill anyships that got too close. Useful for pirates and such. Anyway, I have made it in TS2, but am having severe problems with gluing (again), so could someone glue it and them mail it to me at [email protected]

Here's a screenshot from TS:


And here is the scn file.

I would download it, but I am on 56k, so I would have to use a downlaod manager. I have GoZilla, but it's playing silly buggers.

I could go out and buy PCFormat, as its on the discs, but I have no money.

Problems, problems, problems.

Working on it. Now I gotta recall the namig conventions PCS uses for auto-turreting multi turrets. :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

It's attached in a ZIP. There are COB, POF, and the temp TBL entry I used to test it. The COB, however, is probably trueSpace5 only, so I included a trueSpace 4.3 COB as well. Dunno if that'll help any, but it was the lowest version ts5 will save to.


Here's a badly compressed screenshot of 4, parhaps 5 (hard to tell) asteroid gun platforms inside an asteroid field:

I note from that screenshot that the gun barrels are fubared. i got this when I tried to convert it to pof and got it to run. The barrels rotate around a strange point, the result being that they rotate out of the turret, if you catch my drift.

Does that happen in the POF I included in the archive?
