"the shoe does not fit"

ps: if a dev could fix that for the next patch, would be nice

Wazzat thing ?

(from a mod I assume)

nemesis64x · Post by **nemesis64x** » Sun, 19. Jul 09, 22:16

no mod on that ship, its a Terran ATF M2, namely the Valhalla (Flagship of the ATF).
it doesnt fit thru any gate (going in AND out).

There is a good reason why this ship is not present in the vanilla game... now you know

just because i dont post for 5 years does in no way mean i have no clue what im talking about, the Valhalla exists in vanilla (exactly ONE time). i just decided the ATF does not need it any longer

Well if you are right, according to the search on these forums (as well my in game encyclopedia), a lot of people have missed it. In example http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=254004
Maybe you should tell us in such a topic how you found it

Welcome to our yearly commonwealth nations conference. Let's thank our hosts at Nathan's Voyage North Gate for their hospitality. A shame we unanimously decided on obliterating that one Paranid slug that kept nagging about the tight space...

The biggest clutter of ships I have ever seen in a spacesim... I wonder if they all ran from the Xenon invasion of 2 K's I just prevented.

EDIT: uploaded compressed (jpg) pictures both in original and 640*480 resolution. Just saw the thumbnail option posted - will do that next time... prolly saves me more time too.

Hi Flozem, Is there a reason why you are not using click through thumbnails, instead of multiple re-sized uploads.

Code: Select all

(note the added .th in image field)

Will give you the following thumb, which admirers of trying to get a fleet through a gate will recognise.

If you could re-capture it without the hud (Press Shift+H to enable/disable it), it would make a great SOTW material, because the timing is quite good.

I dunno. There's something pretty awesome about that giant curve of red blips on the grav screen at the bottom.

[Edit] Image info:
Settings high, 8xAA, 4xAF. X3R, vanilla, New Income, East Gate. Picture taken with M5 Raijin Raider, hence ship bow not visible. Xenon K's of the Taxi run on approach vectors. Personally, that sector background image does no good for headache.
