Starsiege: Shields part 1

The 'Judge and the Apoc: One of the "secrets" in Starsiege is that each Herc has a set of shield weak points. Hitting these points can increase the shield damage of your weapons, ALOT.

This video demonstrates some of the shield weaknesses of the Adjudicator and Apocalypse. The shooter is an Olympian with 2 MFACs, 2 EMPs, and 2 light lasers. The light lasers are used to show the target location with an external view. Then when the target's Fastcharge shields are all recharged, the Olympian fires at the same spot with the MFACs and EMPs so you can see just how much shield damage is done on the HUD. It can be quite surprising: Just a tiny bit of targeting distance can make the difference between a normal shot and nearly killing a HERC.

Let me know if you want to see the rest of the HERCs shields analyzed like this.

@starsiegeplayer really? is there a special download i need because im constently checking the multiplayer game room and dont find any games ever, i have version 1.004

[starsiegeplayer]

@pally320 Yes, it's pretty easy actually. You need to change some lines in one of the configuration files to ( or just download a new copy of the configuration file). Then you can see the new multiplayer game room. Do a Google Search for "starsiege master file updates."

Excellent video as usual, if you wouldn't mind, would you send me the link to the capture program.

Music is as well suburb, keep these things coming.

I miss playing this game online, it was such a great game. Such a shame that Sierra Online took down the servers. I heard there's private servers, but i've never tried them,
