scorched earth 0 Posted December 23, 2002 Just thinking about Flashpoint, and was surprised that no one has decided to put trains or vene just a train track around a few of the islands. Train travel links are always essential in any conflict... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeneralMortars 0 Posted December 23, 2002 Yeah.. A functional train would be cool to have in OFP. However when thinking about the overall size of the islands, and compare that to the way a train need to reach highest speed and time to brake. There isn't much (strategic) sense in having trains on such small islands. However the idea itself sounds great! Regards & Merry Christmas GM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frisbee 0 Posted December 23, 2002 GeneralMortars beat me to it But if bigger islands actually appeared it would be nice though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drewb99 0 Posted December 24, 2002 The size of the island has nothing to do with weather or not there's trains somewhere, it's how needed they would be. An island the size of Nogova or Everon could probably have a rail system if enough people/industries used it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frisbee 0 Posted December 24, 2002 Should've said that too :] Just doesn't appear to me like people'd have to go to work in the city by train or anything,they're all just small towns. (1.46 here,sorry :]) So if someone'd make say,an island wih some bigger cities,and just bigger overall it'd be natural to have more people,who could the benifit from a railroad network.

USMC Sniper 0 Posted December 24, 2002 Trains cannot be done as moving objects since there is no way to get them to stick to the train track, bend between cars, and generally work like trains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ExtracTioN 0 Posted December 24, 2002 Train are possible in OFP with 1 method you must make the rail tracks and the train 1 whole model and the train will ride fine on the track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peanuckle_00 0 Posted December 24, 2002 Well maybe the maldenese people have a major export of coal or something so they might need trains for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
