Ring Platforms 4 Years, 3 Months ago Karma: 3  
Has anyone got any info about the use of Ring Platforms in the game???

Ive heard that the rings maybe included to assist characters to get to hidden chambers or to orbiting ships... good way to extend a mission...etc
Mission.
Part 1, Mothership in orbit about to destroy a settlement, however the ring
transporter has been sabotaged by a jaffa scouting party...
Part 2, Search and neutralise the Jaffa and retrieve the ring power crystals...
Part 3, Ring to the Goa'uld mothership and plant C4 before evacuating from the
glider bay.

Or something like that...

Yeah those ideas sound good. I read the same thing on one of those podcasts, use them to get into some far off instances, like motherships and what not. Glad that they are using them in any way, good memories of watching stargate the movie in the theater and seeing the rings in action for the first time. Was a different take on the whole "beam me up scotty" type thing they eventually went more towards.

I would like to see the Ring Transporter used on the Goa'uld side and the Asgard Beam Transporter on the Tau'ri side. I also agree they would make good transportation for going in to instances and other various reasons. It would be nice to see in game.

The rings will be fun. I remember how the one Jaffa got his head taken off in the movie. It was like... brutal. o.O I like rings better than the Asgard Beam transporter, mainly due to the crudeness of it. (Beats walking I suppose) As long as it shows up in the game in some capacity, I'll be pleased.

Yeah the rings should be fun maybe they will be some "zoneing" purpose or somthing, my favorite ring moment is with Jack and the Tok'ra on there desert planet. "How do you know where they are?"

I remember that scene. Good stuff.
Come to think of it... Goa'uld terraformed not only planets, but some of their moons. Perhaps Rings could be used to go to inhabitable moons from planets that have Stargates.

it would be good to have ring platforms for some things but not for everything, sense sg-1 walked most of the time. I believe that in a screen shot or two i sall what looked to be ring platforms. so they could be in the game

I haven’t heard much one way or the other on this. Most sifi games I’ve played have some kind of portal device if for no other reason than to move up to other levels. I’d think that the rings are a ready-made and well-established mod of transport.
The problem I see world be in the operation of rings themselves…to get them to drop down and rise up you’d probably have to insert a video clip of sorts and that’s a time and megabyte consumer. So with the exception of major zone changes it seem to me that it would be a waste of time and storage space.

Um, it wouldn't require a videoclip. all you need are 5 3-D objects moving in unison with a lighting effect after they stop, then after a player vanishes, the effect completes itelf on the other side. Considering how much CPU the NPCs alone will use, rings are insignificant in size.
