Yes, I meant the trail pack.

Here's some screens of a Q and a Kestrel:

As you can see, the vanilla engine effects remain on at full power even when the ship is stopped. They also remain on constantly and do not move with the Xtra trails, causing it to look rather ugly:

i notice you have some sort of hud mod / icon mod installed judging by the lasers, any chnace that or another mod that effects grafics, e.g weapon effects etc is not conflicting with the xtra trails pack, most weapon balanceing / performance mods also dip there toe into engine effects also.

Actually, those are Beta Kyon Emitters, which are the weapons the Kha'ak use on their medium size ships.

That is their default icon.

Hmm odd, can anyone else with the trail pack install check those ships for me. Don't have any of my mods/tools installed yet.

I see the vanilla trails as well as yours while they're in motion, but not stationary. Must be a conflict or incorrect installation on his end.

OK, I figured it out. When you download the XTra ships, the archive is in a format that puts the mod's cat files in the mods folder. In order to make the trails behave like they should, it has to be installed as a fake patch.

Maybe this should be added to the known issues section.

Also, I don't have even the slightest idea of how modding TC works, but would it be possible to create fake blank textures (like how you can override gate textures) to override the vanilla engines so that only the XTra Trails show?

Also, why is it that at the higher SETA speeds (like 10x) the trails will fly ahead of the ship?

Bug with particle FX. Over certain speeds with certain densities of particles. The engine can no longer render fast enough (especially with seta since that's a time accelerator).

This thing with Boron texture could be nice response to Split Ocelot tactical frigate. Or it could be very heavy M6.

Edit: Or Boron M8 (since they lack one) with multiple turrets.

Cadius,

I have two questions, I am playing the game using the rebalance mod, just updated it to the latest version. My question is, is the Teladi Talon included in the Mod since Paul says on his note that he included your xtra ship pack, so we don't have to downloaded and second , what are the specs as far as weapons slots on the main and turrets?

Thanks.

A5PECT · Post by **A5PECT** » Sun, 30. Oct 11, 11:39

The Talon is in XRM, but with dramatically altered stats. Everything is pretty different in XRM, actually.

-Gimme' a minute, I'm trying to dig up the Talon's individual stats from the Excel file-

KloHunt3r, so if the Talon is on the XRM, would you said is for the better or worse? Also, installing this xtra pack would cause problems with those already on the XRM?

Thanks.

A5PECT · Post by **A5PECT** » Sun, 30. Oct 11, 11:53

I can't really say. I've never used the Xtra Ship Pack outside of SRM/XRM, so I'm not familiar with how Cadius balanced each ship within the framework of the entire game, or how his mod compares to Paul's.

I can say that I enjoyed how XRM sets up the ships. Each one has a specific role and purpose, and no ship is useless. I am a big fan of how the Teladi fleet turned out - I don't want to bog down my post with a lengthy description, though.

My advice is to get a second install of Terran Conflict somewhere, install XRM onto it, and putter around with that version for awhile. Throw in the Cheat Pack to spawn any ships you think look interesting and eventually you'll find out which one you prefer.

Thanks for the suggestion and as matter of fact, I do have a second version of the game set on a drive with Win7 x64. I am using the x32 version and I can say that since I installed the game, there has been no other game for me. I will take a look at the Talon since I am working a new start on the game and I am working on OFF,

BTW Cadius, I noticed subtle influence of KaranaK conceptarts in your desings

The new Hataka is quite similar (but not the same) as this:

While new Saitama have some features of some other designs, for example, those (solar?) panels in the back of Saitama, this one has the same:

that actually might fit pretty well for a Boron vessel, lets see what I can do with that concept then.

I'm in love with that thing <3

Piranha/Bullshark, looks like a Boron rapid assault corvette that could come really close performance-wise to the Springblossom. Looks deadly... most likely it should be.

Krios, looks like a Paranid M3/M3+... Something that could rip through a wing of Argon Novas and emerge pretty much unscathed.

Hope it helps a bit.

Any chance for ATF versions of M7 light carrier, M8 & TP?

Hi there, Big fan of your ships+stations bud (XRM user so appreciate them all)

Was just wondering though, Every race pretty much has either an M2+ or M1+ apart from the Argon and Paranid. Was just wondering of there are any plans for those?
