More Frigate Fun!

May 24, 2003 Urza link
bug 1: Me and asp fired 108 nukes into the frig. No less than 103 of those were direct hits. That's over 1.1 million damage. Did the frig die? nope.

bug 2: Sunflares dont beep on the frig! All 32 of mine were direct hits. no beep. they used to in 3.2.4

Yeah, area damage is applied using the center of the ship. That works fine for fighters, but obviously doesn't work for the frigate. I know it's stupid, but it will be made to work better in the future.
For now, just aim at the center of the ship which is near the 'launch bay' on the bottom center of the frigate.

so.. attacking it from the top wont work?

It will. I think the bottom is just its weak spot. I never thought of that, actually. But I think that's cool, that ships have weak and hard spots. Kind of like blowing up tanks IRL. As for the sunflares, I did manage to get one or two beeps out of the 16 I fired at the Frigate's belly. It would make sense that the center of damage would be at the bottom, considering how there's a bigass fin sticking out.

Fishology, i believe it is a dorsal fin.

All ships have spots that absorb dmg.
May 26, 2003 Celkan link
that would be ventral Sui. dorsal is on top. port=left; starboard=right; ventral=below/down; fore=front; aft=back

Last i heard, fishes arn't very technoloigcaly advanced, so talking about fishys isn't techno babble.
