Bugged Pirate Elite ?

Post by Sorkvild »

Is this normal, one firing port seems to be invisible. Whenever I arm all mounts with weapons, port 4-6 is invisible and shoots with invisible projectiles, nevertheless they hit and do normal damage).

I play 2.5 and + a few scripts from Cycrow and Military Hud3. I tried without scripts and Hud and I got the same invisible guns.

So whats wrong here, a bugged model ?

My screens of an Elite firing are normal. But I'll fire up my game and do a double check to make sure.


From the look of the weapons fire, you have IRE's mounted?

Yes this is IRE.

Another example. 4 PRGs mounted. Only two guns visible, one is invisible (invisible guns + projectiles but still do damage) another one is invisible too with visible projectiles. Weird. I really like Pirate Elite but this ... is really pissing me of :/

I can't say nothing on regular Argon Elite because I started a new game and I dont have cash to buy nor required notoriety.

I'll do a test on all 3 of the Elite types (Argon, Pirate, and Enhanced) with a number of different loadouts and provide screens upon completion.

Looking at T-Ships it seems that two of the gun hardpoints on the Elite (regardless of variant) take two weapons each...

It is possible that the bullets are not invisible but rather masked because they are firing from the same point as another gun.

Here's screens of all three in a vanilla game.

Enhanced version:

Pirate version:

Argon (Standard) version:

It appears that the inner weapon mount (closest to the cockpit) is a dual mount since there are a pair of gun barrels visible, rather than a single gun barrel that appears on the outer weapon mount.
