Hitbox error(?)

Opening:

The ship “Octopus” has a large open area in its front that graphically could hold small objects or maybe even a small interceptor.

Issue:

The hitbox on the ship, however, starts at the very front of the ship and is flat. This does not allow ships and/or small objects to fit inside the ship.

Possible and suggested fix:

simply pull the middle of the bitbox back to where it meets the actual model.

Comments:

All ships could use hitbox upgrades, but this would be a massive project and I understand the difficulty of arranging and carrying out such an operation. Do what you can and what you want, I’m just throwing out ideas. :3post-242418-0-32235700-1417320263.jpg

can you explain in better detail… don’t have a good visual of what you mean.

Please create a proper [bug report](< base_url >/index.php?/topic/25328-how-to-create-bug-reports/).

It’s not a bug, it is more a suggestion

But it is not really necessary as far as I am concerned. For what reason do you want to be able to put a smaller ship inside the front of the Octopus? I can’t imagine any practical applications in battle…

Hiding autonomous objects inside your shield and hull to protect then? Or hiding ships in you to repair them? Idk. It was just something that struck me as strange, seeing there’s a giant hole in the ship that is magically blocked off.

Well, shields are always a spherical bubble as far as I know. If this was not the case then you could ask the same question over other ships such as the Trex’s model or the Falcon M’s model which both have these “indents”.

Ok, just saying, I don’t know why the Octopus should get special treatment, even though it is my favourite ship! :slight_smile:

I get what you’re saying. M favourite ship is the Hunter, but it has no hitbox errors. You can hide inside it all you want. (At least until that stupid infini-pulsar kills you. :p)
