http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/5600/swomega.th.jpg This is my first concept for the Omega projectile. I got to thinking about Alpha and Omega. Alpha, the beginning, would represent light and new life. Omega, the end, represents the end of all things, darkness, and ultimately, death. That train of t...

Re: May I Please Present...

Fixed the frag. Had somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,500 polys, and Descent didn't like that at all. I got it down to the 400 neighborhood by simply remodeling the center section and deviating from the "inflatable balloon" theory I've been playing with.

So, I've been trying out the "cruisin'" approach to things, and I think my efficiency has increased a little. I tend to omit my rear views still, but I'm getting better at incorporating them into my scan. One thing I'm still having an issue with, though, is close-quarters sitautional aware...

Actually, that's being caused because my eyes tend to focus on anything coming at me.

Re: Need Tactical Assistance

I have always flown with the rear views up, but unfortunately they don't do me any good because they're always angled into a corner in the floor. If I'm on the move, I'm tri-chording, and so that means my longitudinal axis is never in line with the hallway.

I hated that guy so much... I like the touch with full missiles actually sitting inside the bays; I never once gave consideration to that. In the original it always looked like a pair of nipples or something... Then a tiny little smart missile pops out. O_o
