Hmm, seems like a lot of weapons are looking rather different after the recent SF update. I assume you've tried increasing the length in that weapon's .proj file? It'd probably still look different, but in theory, the right length setting would make it work.

Ah, there's a size code to the .proj file.  Change that to resemble a square (so long the actual sprite is a square as well) and you're good. :)

The projectile is 30x30 pixels image. How more squarish can i make it? :)

Alex says to stretch it until it is of the required size in the game. I`ll test it today.

Battle tested Kursk mod.3. It had just finished off Indiana destroyer. Had to switch the shields off in order to get 50mm duals enough flux to disable ISA shield (with ammo feeder they eat lots of flux) - that`s why frontal plates got some cool looking cracks :)

Okim I really like how you visually built the ammo feeder ship system into its hull. That's wicked cool from a lore perspective and really adds to the universe in a good way.

It looks quiet awesome with actual ammo belts built into the ship!

Well, i tried to create them less 'belty'. These are supposed to be armored 'passways' for the feeder inner systems.

Perhaps i should return to the previosly designed light metallic texture for them.

Close enough?  I had a feeling they were armored, like the belt in a Minigun.

Something like that, but I get the point. :) And I like the texture as is right now, but the final say id up to you.

Damn it! New sprites turned out to be larger than ISA ones. Well, RSF always were thought to have larger and bulkier ships :)

Novgorod cruiser. For now that`s the only ship that undergone weapon reposition and other adjustments. Frontal large weapon and two mediums (50mm quad and 2x torps) are universal, other weapons are all ballistic. Thi ship has ammo feeder (i wanted to use similar feeder elements as on Kursk mod.3, but they just took too much space and looked ackward. A cruiser of this size is assumed to have lots of internal space to house those feeder elements. Novgorod has 15 hangar space that is being represented by 4 hangar doors. No in-combat fighter support though.

Thanks!

The more positive feedback i gather - the faster i churn out the sprites - the closer i am to the new update :P

P.S.: don`t buy gatling laser in 2.8 its broken!

A little vote of sorts.

I`m about to resprite the carrier for RSF. So the vote is:

- should it retain the flat deck it has now?
- should it have side/front access points instead?

I remember some people being sceptical about flat deck. It was a unique feature for RSF only. ISA, aliens and pirates have side/front access points if you remember.
