Stretched weapon sprites
« on: August 26, 2012, 12:50:11 PM »

Ok,  I don't know if this is a bug or not but it seems a little strange. Many weapons like the phase beam, AM-blaster or pulse laser get stretched if they are placed in hard points, so they appear longer. But many other weapons like the burst pd laser and the ion cannon have the same size regardless of where they are mounted.

Is this just art design or is there any system behind this? Or is this really a bug?

This is an art design. If you look in the graphics folder there are different models for hardpoints and turrets.

Oh, you are right, never mind then. Wonder whats behind that design choice though.

Turrets supposed to be inferior to hardpoints.
