It's the "Locate this Descent Pic Game" Edition 011
Let's see who can identify:
- What Descent 3 single player Level this is a pic of?
- Where in that level the player is at (describe as best you can)?
- Extra bonus: Point out something unique about the level or the location
Can you correctly identify this location?
The score stands at:
- IHateHackers = 2
- Kaiaatsel = 3
- NUMBERZero = 4
- TechPro = 1

-Level 13
-In the funky wind tunnel that pushes you towards a forcefields one way and pulls you towards that little alcove the other. The room before that is a shaft with three rotating cooling tanks. And the room before that is the outside with a bunch of old scratches, a homing turret, stormtroopers, and MD tanks. You can see a dropship flying above occasionally. It will shoot a red laser straight down to try to hit you. You get 50pts for losing it up. You can also hit the switch to turn off the Aft Matcen using a guided. There is a guided missile ammunition matcen in a little side room accessed through a large bulkhead door. A sparky is on the inside.
The room in the picture itself serves no purpose. The only items that can be found down there are a Mega Missile and a Mass Driver. You can destroy the generator to make the wind that pushes you towards the forcefields push you towards the exit instead.
-One of the logs mentions the Starhawks being infected by the virus and that they were on the loose. Knowing how the guidebook says one cool thing, but then you discover that it wasn't implemented, you would expect it to say something about them. But no. Guess the writers knew that the devs were way behind and wouldn't be able to implement them. The fighters are still in the HOG with a mostly complete model and a half-baked AI, but you only see them used in user made levels. Pyromania has it as a playable ship and it has one of the highest accelerations and speeds.
Also, shutting down the Main Engine is your tertiary objective as listed in the advanced briefing, but even if you do it, it will still be listed as incomplete. It is fixed in the 1.5 patch, but we all know that that just added more bugs.
EDIT: Post number 1032, AWW YEAH!

I figured out why I can never get to these in time to give the answer. You guys are always posting when I'm typically still in bed. :P
Oh well, it wouldn't have mattered in this instance, because I don't recognize this spot at all. Would've had me totally stumped.
-
I've never seen it either.
But then it is on the Expediator. And this is NUMBERZero we're talking about.
The only man who seemingly has the Expediator memorized!

I am still lost in the Expediator :)

Ditto. Everytime I see it, there is already a list of people replying. That's okay for me though. I can't play. I don't have Descent 3 anymore, and I wouldn't even know how to upload the pictures even if I knew how.
Maybe one day, I may attempt at buying the mac version of Descent 3

NUMBERZero, since you got it on the nose, it's now your turn to port the next one. Have fun!
-
Ah, I'm pretty sure he meant "post" the next one. ;)
-
I'm dealing with a lot of stresses and I haven't had the time to think of a good place. Can you please post the next one, TechPro?
-
Will do.
