Hapheastus? No.

I vote Heracles.

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

Heracles not Hercules :p

Looks ok, reminds me heavily of the Zephyrus miner (not a bad thing).

Not really, they come from different myths.

Acutally Hephaestus was the Greek Blacksmith God, equivalent to Vulcan in Roman.

Herakles or Hercules was the Son of Zues and a Mortal, but they are both the same person, both fought the Giants alongside the Gods and rose into Olympus as a God themselves, both completed the 7 tasks etc. :)

Anyway, I'm not going to drag this thread any further off topic, so I'll say it's looking good Hades :)

There's no law against it ;)

Though, Ill admit, I always envisioned the name Olympus being more suited to some kind of enormous research and construction platform in orbit around Earth, 'Olympus Base' has a nice ring to it ;)

Here's a good place to start, basically, just Google 'Greek Gods' and flick through what comes up, as long as Safesearch is on, it isn't too traumatic ;)

Heres another update.It now has 43 guns.Still needs work.

That's an awful lot of guns if it's inteneded for Freespace ("semi-cannon", if you will).

Looks good tho.

SafeSearch filters out porn. If you type that into Google Image Search with Safesearch off, you will probably get gay beefcake porn. Which is bad. Unless you're into that sort of thing.

I thought Heracles was the guy who built the Parthenon.
Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky!
