Yamirashi Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Does it bother anyone else that when the Thunderclap takes off, the animation to open the wings causes the ship to "bounce" as if the bottom wing is hitting some invisible floor? This thing is flying... in air... Wouldn't it make more sense for the body of the ship to stay stationary while the wings just opened around it? Rather than the odd raise up then slightly lower as the wings open. ESPECIALLY when leaving the fleet. Just seems the physics here are out of whack.

Ghostwold Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Im with you on this one. Look completlig wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kheldras Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 IO agree.. as if theres a wall under the air under it... they should just swing open. Smuggler ship does the same, when it "adjusts the focus" on the main thrusters, it jumps slightly up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugem Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 It's an auto pilot correcting feature that raises the ship in case the pilot miss judged the ground clearance prior to issuing the deploy command, smacking your bottom wing into the ground is considered bad protocol by Republic command. But yea it is a bit odd looking. wish they would just give a B-wing instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamirashi Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Okay, glad it isn't just me... .... Back to your regularly scheduled programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tareel Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Drives me nuts. And no, it is not an auto pilot thingy, the craft has repulsor lifts, it is plenty high enough for them to open. The one that drives me the most nuts is when you leave Carrick station (or any station for that matter), you are in fracking space, why does it need to move? Piss poor animation BW, piss poor.

Jakain Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 And I thought I was the only one to notice this. I usually skip that animation, but yea when the wings unfold it looks like its being pulled by invisible wires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZioGio Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I know this is a necropost, but this animation still bugs me. To quote Oscar Rogers, the fictitious financial expert on SNL: "It's not rocket science, Seth. It's a simple three step process. Step one: FIX! Step two: IT! Step 3: FIX IT!"

Sith_Holocron Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 This always drove me up the wall too, I was about to open a thread but decided that I better look to see if someone one else did first. So . . . could they fix this please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
