Talk:SJD Sathanas

- I feel that some FRED newbies need to know the difference between the SJ and the SJD Sathanas ships, so I created this article in about 5-6 minutes. Sigtau 15:23, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

minicap.pof

"minicap.pof" (the low-poly Sathanas model) was not used to create the target view illusion, I think it was an entirely separate attempt to do the same thing, but was rejected by [V] in favor of this solution. Also, the model minicap.pof is not small either. In fact it has similar dimensions to the normal Sathanas. Just though I should clarify my previous edit in case it caused any confusion. - Snail 21:32, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

In retail FS2, minicap.pof does appear in the target view window, when targeting an SJD Sathanas. I don't know if that's been changed in FSOpen or not, though. -- BlueFlames 03:18, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

I doesn't. Taken from the retail table:

 $Name:                      SJD Sathanas
 $Short name:				SDev
 $Species:                   Shivan
 +Tech Description:
 XSTR("A Sathanas, off in the distance.", 3168)
 $end_multi_text
 $POF file:                  Blip.pof
 $POF target file:			SuperCap2S-01.pof
 $Detail distance:			(0, 2500, 5000, 14000)

The phrase "minicap.pof" does not appear anywhere in the FS2 retail ships table. - Snail 16:26, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
