How is this possible? CC was down! Everything should have ceased to exist during that time! How dare you be productive! How dare you!

They were IN CONTROL!

How to get bigger battles in Sins:

1. Record a battle in Sins.
2. Record another battle in Sins with a "greenscreen" background.
3. Composite the first battle into the "greenscreen" of the second battle. Boom, you just doubled your battle size!
4. If "greenscreens" are not feasible in Sins, then record all your battle "sets" and composite them in Unreal. Turret animation solved!

Cameras and the jittery nature of said cameras defeated that solution the moment it popped into my head.

Compositing the turrets and everything in the UDK is a choreographical nightmare way beyond my skills, as I explained.

Cameras in Sins can't be scripted?

With some mathematical wizardry, you could calculate the pan length of what will be your background battle so that it meshes seamlessly with the panning of your foreground battle. (i.e. parallax)

Sins has never heard of "scripting". There is nothing even akin to Staredit triggers. You can't have map events, nothing even resembling such. Believe me, it would make this so much easier.

I can't math for shit. To handle the choreography of thousands of ships with hundreds of thousands of turrets in any given scene it would have to be all manual. There is a few tricks I'll use Unreal for to try to employ, but I don't have the resources or desire to split away from my current workload to experiment. When the time comes, we'll see what can be managed.

It took a lot to get me to go on Vent.

Months.

Wait when did CC go down?
