Title: [RELEASE] GVCv Pnepheros
Post by: Colt on February 27, 2024, 08:18:07 pm
Since Nyc's got his hands full at the moment, he's tasked me with releasing a little something curtesy of his shipyards.  :cool:

Originally released several years back in the Unborn Legacy model dump, the GVCv Pnepheros has gotten just a bit of TLC. See for yourself!

The Pnepheros is the successor to the venerable Sobek. Sporting a heavy spinal beam cannon and two slashing turrets, she also comes armed with multiple fusion mortar launchers and a heavy array of anti-fighter beams and turrets. The Pnepheros is also fitted with a fighterbay, making her a deadly combatant. Built for Nostos R2, she serves as a counterpart to the Terran Phobos-class corvette.

Well what are you waiting for? DL it and go blow up some Shivans with it, or Terrans, or even blow it up yourself! Pretty ships have pretty explosions, after all!

I confirm this release happens with my approval and actually per my request. Colt helped with testing this one.

I completed and dumped the mesh a year or two ago, but now when two projects I'm closely associated with expressed demand, this mandates completion. No reason to not share.

Now I am the only person in the universe who completed 2 HQ zod corvettes o___O

Have fun. Keep in mind that she's 2024-quality asset, so a corvette-sized ship with a polycount approaching 300k tris, and 3 sets of 8192^4096 textures. Use at your descretion.

What are differences to the version found in the Unborn Legacy model dump?

Memories of the Great War uses a down-turreted version for the model for the PVCv Kauket-class and specifically for the HLCv Reverie, one of the important HoL-subfaction command ships.

Changes from the original can be seen here: https://wiki.hard-light.net/index.php/PVCv_Pnepheros

:jaw: Good model already, but damn this is an upgrade! It looks like a proper "Sobek mk. 2" now. Definitely want to use this in a campaign alongside your glorious, glorious Nehebkau and the few good Zod cruisers we have. :nod:

God, I'm so glad to see this thing completed :)

The Pnepheros was always one of my fav Zod models, and, along with the Nehebkau the kind of design that makes me think "if :v-old: had ever made FS3, they'd surely include a ship that looks like that"

It's zod so I don't like it.

But it's gorgeous and cool so I do like it.

Effectively none. Turrets have different names because I like how Talhydras and ETP rename turrets of ships for Warmachine, but aside that, everything is pretty much identical.

Delete couple turrets and ye have HQ replacement ready to go.

Edit: This one cannot be edited in PCS2 unfortunately, and delete option is not yet available in POF-Tools... but believe me, I'm bugging Asteroth to handle it as fast as he can :P

Glad to see it liked :]. Another reason that mandated completion. We have several awesome zod cruisers, but only Nehebkau and Udjat are available as modern quality zod capships. I definitely lack time to finish NuPharaoh, but I still want to fill niches :].
