Because it needs energy to accelerate particles? I guess it depends how you define particle, cuz I think it is meant to use subatomic particles.

Tremulous is not a scientific simulation, it's a computergame. In computergames, Rocket Launchers can shoot bunnies, without the need for scientific backing.

In other words: Stop whining.

New MD pics, its a textured and coloured model, and i think that those complaints about the MD not looking sci-fi enough should dissapear now. The texturing makes alot of difference.

for those who didnt see...

and wouldnt it be a good idea to have a sticky called "Tremulous 1.2 collected information" or something along those lines, and have the future models and things that will be included in 1.2 or future releases..?

Mooses site is really good, but not alot of people know about it... So maybe a sticky?

I guess people will starting whining about the colour brown soon!

[PS]Love how the skin is coming along, perfectly in line with the rest of the artwork.

I wasn't whining, I was simply saying that the name doesn't fit with what the weapon actually does.

PS. I'd prefer in it green, please!

I may have said this before, but why is the Mass Driver an energy weapon in Tremulous? That doesn't make sense!

In a way it is both:

It needs a mass as the payload and it uses (electrical) energy to accelerate the particles/mass.

The Tremulous mass-driver could just collect dust from the air, compact it, then fire it with electromagnets powered by an atomic battery.

Fix your quotes. And no, I didn't find that photo first. It's his site too.  ;) (actually a tiny bit more considering he owns it.)  :D

It definitely looks much better now with proper texturing, it looks pretty great actually.

I'm glad we're starting to get some visible updates for Trem 1.2, and it should stop some whining now that we can see that something is going on.

much better, the texture added the weight of it.

just leave the scopes now, and it's superfine... imho.

Not enough room on the vwep uvs to mirror the text correctly.

Aha, so that's the reason you run into mirrored skins all the time in Quake3-games.
Meh, that sucks!
