Arena Night: the rail, the hellfires, explorer mode and the speed knob
The railgun charging and cooling, a hellfire locking from the Apache, a buggy in explorer mode about to cross the sea, the jet at three times speed, the dogfight at Rookie, and the two pages that hold it all; a Go there on each.
▶ Go therean-1-the-rail-fired The rail, charging in the Proving Ground at Rookie: R swaps the gun, hold Fire 0.7 seconds and the muzzle glows and whines, then the bolt lands the same frame, hitscan to 120 metres at three times the shell's damage (a Ranger rail does 6 at Rookie: one shot for a Scout). The forest's tank and the Warden use it too from Captain up, with the same audible charge, so you can break line of sight.▶ Go therean-2-the-rail-cooling After the shot the rail cools over four seconds (five at Captain, six at Ace), the heat bar draining under the reticle; shells stay always available. rail=off on a link gives the old game back.▶ Go therean-3-a-hellfire-lock An Apache over the Ruler Hills with a hellfire locking on: hold the target in the cone for 1.2 seconds and the bracket goes red, E launches, it homes at 60 metres a second, kills anything in a nine-cell splash and leaves a crater five wide under a smoke column. Four a sortie, rearmed on landing; the Reaper and the tiltrotor carry them too. hellfire=off on a link takes them away.▶ Go therean-4-explorer-mode-over-the-sea Explorer mode: a buggy on the Ternary Isles about to drive off the beach and across the sea. Shift+E or the Explorer button in the Vehicles menu puts any land craft on the repulsorlift rule, a metre over water, a cliff climbed straight up, at three quarters of its top speed; nothing is recorded while it is on.▶ Go therean-5-the-jet-at-three-times-speed The hypersonic jet over the Skyway's sea of islands at three times speed: the Speed button, or [ and ], runs any craft from half to three times its pace; the districts of the Skyway go by in ten seconds each. Nothing is recorded at a modified speed.▶ Go therean-6-the-dogfight-at-rookie The Reef Sea Dogfight at Rookie, climbing out: twelve hearts and a spare life, bursts of eight, tracers that curve toward the raider under the nose, and the brain line already reading Crow's position. Six raiders in two flights; get behind them.▶ Go therean-7-arena-night-the-page Arena Night: every tank battle, dogfight, race and rumble on one page with a tank, car, plane and level picker that rewrites every Go, a set list of eight for a twenty-minute demo, and the controls on one card each. The first link on the front page.▶ Go therean-8-all-the-galleries All the galleries: every set of pictures from the worlds, newest first, each with its count and a Go to its first picture; inside each, a Go there on every picture into the very spot it shows.
