Why dont CCP add Missile Turrets instead of having the missiles just materializing from the center of this ships model? Cause thats pretty realistic right...? Probably be issues when you try to turn off turrets to speed up grid load, but im sure there would be a way around it.

Edited by: Max Crant on 27/03/2011 01:48:59 Good news... They announced that we would indeed be getting visible missile bays, though they didn't give a timeframe. They said the process would be iterative, with turrets getting the treatment first because they already have existing attachment points, etc. Obviously they have to adjust a ton of models and likely will have to change the way missiles are handled in general, but hey, what's a year or two wait when you've waited this long? In the mean time, drool away at all the upcoming deliciousness.

Its the second or third remake (maybe even more often?) of turret effects in the history of Eve.
No one cares about missiles, not even CCP. Get used to it.

The fact that the missiles have to deal with being loaded into space every time theyre launched is probably the major problem here (how do you animate a group of 6 missiles being launched from seperate bays as a single entity?). Perhaps a grouped launch shouldnt fire a single ball of missiles, but a synchronized group of missiles that act as seperate pieces fired at the same time. this seems like the simplest method to code/implement. although it would make the servers cry >.>
Was also rolling the fighterbombers solution around, as in making the launchers fire like guns and just animate make believe missiles, but the more i rolled it around the worse it seemed... you would lose the signature missile travel time and explosion velocity and such would be difficult to put into effect. so thats dead before its even out of the gates.
For the record i would love to see animated launchers as much as the next guy, but it will take some serious problem solving to achieve |
