Reagan's Star Wars, or Shooting Down Projectiles

<< < (3/8) > >>

DJ Logicalia:
This seems to happen most often when I hit things flamers. I, too, was curious why projectiles have hit markers

Squidslinger Gilder:
Well lets consider mines. They're projectiles that float like a mini airship and are programmed to detonate with proximity. Consider sandbox mode's drones. Similar to mines except they have engines and guns, thus can move. So lets say for everything projectile, Muse basically starts with the same concept. This means that all projectiles are actually mini airships with rules tweaked for when they come into contact with another object. This also means the airships we fly are actually giant projectiles. Which would explain why Muse would have to redesign the entire game to make silliness like boarding possible. Projectiles can spawn more projectiles but if they can't enter one another without a reaction taking place then I wonder if human players are categorized as projectiles too. We can exist inside the giant projectile but cannot exist outside of it, at least not for very long before the game polices us to prevent something insane going on with the engine.

So a redefine of everything would need to happen for them to allow it. Far too much work. But this does give a hint at how towns and other objects will work in Adventure mode. If it is similar then we can infer that when we walk around a town it'll be like we're in a giant stationary airship. We won't have a literal dock where ships land at and be able to see them coming and going, we'll have port buildings. Then perhaps instancing where a static airship model is docked and when we take control of it, we get a load screen which then spawns us in the air outside the city.

Indreams:
But does this mean, with enough focus fire, projectiles can be shot down?

Or are missiles and such do not have the special rule (hull and armor) that ships have and therefore cannot be shot down?

James T. Kirk:
One of my Pastries swears that he took out an artemis rocked mind-flight with another artemis rocket.

Dutch Vanya:
I have definitely seen projectiles hit eachother midair. I'm not sure if they cancel out but it very much looked like it. Good luck trying to do this on purpose though.
