Massive Missile

Auto Credit Based on SledDriver's HoverBulletCurveBomber



This is a proof of concept, showing that it's possible to make a "skinned" missile of arbitrary size in SP. Normally, if you add a whole lot of parts to a missile, the drag slows it down. But if you encase the whole thing in a fuselage block, the game engine calculates the drag of everything inside the block to be zero, so you can make a missile that looks like whatever you want, and as big as you like.

For convenience, this missile silo can fly. It carries two missiles.

    @SledDriver Thank you for telling me that so i dont have to spend an hour trying to apply it, then give up and play a different game. Reshaders aren't too much to me so requesting on Uservoice for me would be kinda pointless. Nevertheless thanks.

    @Rawhide I don't think that's possible, ReShade is the only application I know of that can do that, and it's only available for Windows. But there's no reason the game developers couldn't include a custom shader feature in the game itself. You could try requesting that feature on Uservoice.

    @SledDriver Hi, i was wondering if you knew how to put the shader on mobile, if you don't thats perfectly ok.

    @exosuit No, that's how the game looks for me. I use a custom shader with Reshade, link's on my profile.

    @EternalDarkness The best thing would be for someone to take the lessons learned from SP and build a new game without any of the drawbacks, and a bunch of improvements.

    @SledDriver I have suggested that on Uservoice ages ago.

    @EternalDarkness It would be great if instead of pre-made missiles, we had missile components like engines, warheads, guidance systems, etc., so we could make our own missiles. If the guidance systems were programmable, that would be even better. You could make cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, air-to-air, air-to-ground, ground-to-ground...

    I have had this problem with early versions of a ballistic missile I was making. I don't know how I got around it.
