Target Practice - Firing Ranges & More Targets Pg2

Stormcaller · Post by **Stormcaller** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 8:31 am

Okay folks- I figured this was quick, easy, and there seemed to be a constant need for them. So here's a very simple thing:

Targets.

They're (mostly) color-coded for ease of identification in the sandbox. There will be more, shortly.

From the middle, then to the upper right and going clockwise:

PlainTarget - Exactly that. It doesn't move, it doesn't turn. It has six sections and the core, each at 100 hit points.

DeflectorTarget - Again, guess what this does? Same thing, but has four deflectors on the core.

ArmoredTarget - As Plain but with 500hp per section and core.

FastTarget - Max speed 4, Turning 2, Accel .5, Flanking AI at 350 Range. 100hp per section.

SlowTarget - Max Speed .5, Turning .5, Accel .2, Normal AI at 350 Range. 100hp per section.

AegisTarget - Aegis'd. Four Aegis, all on core. Otherwise standard. I don't really have to color-code this one, right?

NanoTarget - Standard target with a Nano on the core.

Up next- three flavors of point defense, plus an Impeder.

I said shortly, didn't I?

Targets 2

From the upper left, clockwise:

FlakTarget - 4 Flak Guns, otherwise normal

ImpederTarget - 1 Impeder

PointTarget - 4 Point Beams

ParticleTarget - 4 Particle Guns

I would like to request a target with four flaks, Aegis, Nano, and 1kHP per section, please.

EDIT: eight Flaks and high-density Ablative Armor as well.

By all means, request all you want. I'm sure sooner or later somebody'll start listening.

So simple i'm surprised no one has done it before.

I've got a feeling it has.

To my knowledge, it has not. At least not to this degree of awesomeness. Any plans to make more?

that's genius! I made full blown ships for testing, but this is nice!
how about one that shoots back?

Damn, far more useful than the targets I came up with for my own use.

Thank you.

Could we get a super-sized target for testing inaccurate weapons at long range?

Thanks! These guys are my new designated bitches for trying out new designs

That's actually not a bad idea.

Big Target

BigTarget - Standard target in every way except size. All sections still have 100hp.

If you want variations as with the others the zip file includes the sb3 file. So modify to your heart's content.

Make a target which shoots back a barrage of blasters and beams.

Or, alternatively, a dieterling target.
