Topic: What happens when ships collide in BF2142 engine?

Anyone remember in BF1942 when a battleship rammed a carrier? I think even a destroyer could mess up a BB. The ships would start flipping randomly, cause massive lag, and it would be a huge mess. I think it was the same sort of situation in GC mod.

Just curious to hear what happens in FS if you ram your cap ship into another (since EA doesnt let titans collide in vanilla) and how its being handled.

that would be really cool if they kinda collided and pieces come off and it looked kinda realistic but i KNOW that it would be impossible since the engine couldnt handle it i dont think

I think you're refering to a pair of starfighters that collided in the trailer. Capital ships are what this guy is refering to. At this moment when two big ships collide they come to a halt, and maybe take some damage from the impact. additional effects regarding this may come later.

Well, that's not exactly true.

When two capital class ships collide (Currently, anyway) they get totally veered off course, and take about 33% damage. It's pretty cool to see it happen actually.

thats pretty cool but, is there explosions and does it look like pieces are falling off the ship?
i imagine that would be pretty hard to do with the 2142 engine though..

Not if they do the pieces like in SWG,when a ship explodes,it's pieces are not very textured,but are full of fire,seen from a distance...looks preatty realistc,i think.
