Colossus Cutscene Crowdsourcing
The Colossus cutscene has a lot of text and graphics. It's quite a bit overwhelming how many individual animations/blocks of text/graphics are needed for this cutscene. :v: Was working at the incredible resolution of 640x320, so they were able to Lorem Ipsum almost all of it. However at 1080p, I can't get away with that.

So... let's do what we did with some of the early FS2 cbanim remakes and crowdsource it. Everyone take a little chunk to create and have fun with. Lore text and technobabble is good. Easter Eggs and HLP jokes/references are encouraged mandatory. (A little bit of both actually. It works better if people stumble upon the jokes unexpectedly.  :) ) Graphs or other static elements on blueprints don't need to be exactly like the original.. draw something that looks similar and it'll be just fine. Bonus points for labels that might make some kind of sci-fi sense.

Be sure to post what piece you are working so we don't duplicate effort.

Here's what I need....

Blueprints. Do not include the background grid because I'll add that later so they match. Please also stick with white graphics/text. I'll color match everything to blue later on. These need to be 1920x1080 PNG images with transparent background. I have provided hi-res renders of the Colossus wireframe to start.

Left Side


Top


Perspective


Right Side



Walls of Text. For these, you don't need to submit a graphic.. just a text file with paragraphs of text that will fit in the areas circled in red. I recommend watching the cutscene to get ideas of what the text should be focused on. See the above rules regarding Easter Eggs and HLP Jokes/References.

Description: For the number and placement of beam cannons (anywhere it can can fit)

Hidden Text: Show
Quote
“Unlike the Hades's flux cannons which were adapted from shivan components, modern beam cannons require large internal housings, and cannot be mounted on rotating turrets, so in order to allow full offensive coverage, the Colossus will possess a large number of beam cannons along it's entire flank, this makes the Colossus impossible to escape, and no recall or intervention can work against it! It's the Colossus! How could you destroy the Colossus? What a grand and intoxicating innocence! How could you be so naive!? Come and lay down your weapons, it is not to late for the GTVA's mercy.”

Re: Colossus Cutscene Crowdsourcing
I call dibs on the right section of "Generic 1" :P

So far I have text for the top and bottom thirds...

Top third:
Hidden Text: Show
Blueprints

In an effort to save space at GTVA anchorages, proposals have been put forth for the neck section to be retractable into the main body of the Colossus.

Middle third
Hidden Text: Show
Power statistics

The GTVA Colossus is powered by numerous next-generation Vasudan reactors, allowing it to meet any challenge put before it. However, In the event of a catastrophe, the Colossus will explode very nicely.

Bottom third:
Hidden Text: Show
Alternative uses

With the enthusiastic backing of Admiral Colt, Admiral R. B. Bhat has suggested the Colossus instead be utilized for direct physical attacks against hostile warships rather then being a ranged platform, noting both its size and phenomenal speed when turning. Coincidently, Admiral Bhat was formerly a professional player for the Vasudan Baseball League (VBL).
EDIT: Main text done. Now to come up with something for the smaller texts to the sides of the main ones...
EDIT2: Alright, got some text for the sides!

Top third 4 boxes text:
Hidden Text: Show
While Alliance Admirals have protested these proposals as they may affect combat readiness of the ships in the event of conflict, leaked concept art of neck-less Colossi have led many in the general public to call it "cute".

Middle third side text:
Hidden Text: Show
Vasudan reactors only have a thirty-day return policy. It is thus inadvisable to either damage or destroy these reactors after thirty days.

Bottom third side text:
Hidden Text: Show
In theory, an array of spinning Colossi positioned around a jump node could whack any intruders back from whence they came. This tactic will require further study to determine if it is a worthwhile approach.

Re: Colossus Cutscene Crowdsourcing
I'm in for the technobabble.

I'd like to get in on the technobabble too, even if I'm not very good at it. In fact, this is the reason I've decided to leave the editing of the tech descriptions of Exile's weapons for last. Basically, I dunno if I can write plausible technobabble, but I can recognize when technobabble is obvious bullsh!t. Case in point: I still haven't forgiven George Lucas for giving us the "hydrospanner" tool. A technobabble tool that means "waterspanner?" Really, George? At least the Kessel Run in "less than 12 parsecs" was more forgivable! (Not to mention that we got a movie starring Emilia Clarke as a Star Wars femme fatale out of that!)

Is there any way to read those text blurbs/increase their resolution so we can decipher them?

And I'll at least take on the Squadron Complement/Math Is Cool blurb since I've done previous work on that.

EDIT: Is there any way to freeze the cutscene in place so that we can study particular frames, like with Vpviewer or something? It's a royal PITA to try to decipher a blurb of text that's only on the screen for half a second out of a 3 minute cutscene.  :rolleyes:

EDIT 2: I'm a dumbass, I just realized I can just go to YouTube and watch and pause the Colossus cutscene there.

Now I have to contribute to the new Colossus cutscene, if only to make my own tribute to Kurtwood Smith, who both voiced this cutscene and memorably played Red in "That 70s Show."

"Computer, how do you say 'dumbass' in Vasudan?"

EDIT 3: Ok, taking my first look at this, it looks like the text blocks in both Fighter Complements and Crew Descriptions are the same paragraph starting with "Math is cool" repeated over and over. I'm of half a mind to just go Monty Python on this and just do my own Freespace-ish version of the "Wi nøt trei a høliday in Sweden this yër?" from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I might even throw in some Robocop and "That 70s Show" references in homage to Kurtwood Smith. Hell, I never saw "That 70s Show" but I did see Robocop and that one Star Trek Deep Space Nine episode "Things Past" that Smith was in. And I can look up Red and "That 70s Show" in TV Tropes for material.

Oh yeah, I'm gonna have fun with this. :drevil: :drevil: :drevil:

So, to reiterate, my chosen assignment(s) are 1) Fighter Complement (definitely) and 2) Crew Descriptions (maybe). Assistance/suggestions with the latter would be helpful/welcome, so PM me if you got any.

“Math is cool. But Kurtwood Smith, who voices this cutscene, is cooler by far. He’s so awesome he was in both the first Robocop film and That 70s Show. Computer, how do you say “dumbass” in Vasudan? If Kurtwood Smith had been a pilot in the GTVA, the Shivans would never have gotten to Capella, because Kurtwood Smith would have shoved his foot up the Shivans’ collective asses. "Ooh, guns guns guuuuuns! Come on, Shivans! The 99th Skulls are playing...tonight! And I never miss a game!" I’ll tell ya, the Universe is a tough place. Let down your guard for one moment and the Shivans will kick you right in the ass.

Re: Colossus Cutscene Crowdsourcing
Squadron complement blurb - after looking at the cutscene, I've typed out something that should fit without scrolling:

Hidden Text: Show
The Colossus's hangar is nicknamed the "Hangar of HLP 0wnage" by pilots because it was specially designed by Holt Atmospheric Systems, with inputs from the Akheton Corporation, to fit 240 ships within an area that is only slightly larger than 9 Argo-class transports arranged in a 3x3 formation, while still being able to launch multiple ships quickly in the event of a hull breach.

In case you need a longer version, here's the original text I came up with when I first posted this message:

Hidden Text: Show
The Colossus's hangar uses a special compartmentalisation method, engineered by Holt Atmospheric Systems with inputs from the Akheton Corporation, to house its entire complement of 240 fighters and bombers within an area that is only slightly larger than 9 Argo-class transports arranged in a 3x3 formation. The hangar makes extensive use of hydraulic arms, gravity elevators, and the most advanced collision detection systems currently available to maximise the use of available space. Despite its boxy profile, the hangar actually employs a modular design similar to that seen on the GTM Hippocrates - in the event of a hull breach, sections of the hangar can be sealed off to prevent atmospheric bleed, while still allowing the Colossus to continue launching its fighter complement. The technology used in constructing the hangar, the sheer number of ships housed within such a relatively small space, and the hangar's impressive launch capability, have led pilots to dub it the "Hangar of HLP 0wnage", with the letters standing for "Holt's Logistical Parking".

Reference is linked in the original.

By the way, do we use American or British spelling (above uses British)?

Re: Colossus Cutscene Crowdsourcing
For the missile screen, counterclockwise, from bottom left to bottom right to top right

blurb under the little ani
Hidden Text: Show
The Colossus mounts a variety of missile weapon systems, including a variant of the fighter-mounted MX-52 heat seeking missile and 'Piranha' area denial swarm missile. These allow for unrivaled fighter and bomber defense, although budget cuts prevented the use of aspect-seeking missiles which have existed for at least 32 years by this point, seriously the Colossus can't afford a harpoon or two?

tall blurb under "specifics"
Hidden Text: Show
The MX-52 heat-seeking missile is an 8th generation anti-fighter missile, which while originally designed to be mounted on fighters found considerable usefulness even when mounted on capital ships.

Despite the relative age of the missile design it is cheap to produce, easy to procure, highly compatible with standard mounting set-ups and easily and quickly reloadable, while retaining sufficient firepower to form a credible threat.

The piranha is a much newer missile design, that fills in the gaps left by the MX-52  and other anti-fighter armaments. It was important that the colossus be able to fend off large clusters of fightercraft which the piranha handles ably.

The wide dispersion of heat-seeking missiles ensures that targets cannot maintain their safety even when obscured.

Used variants include:
XLL-14 'Piranha'
XLL-15a 'Piranha'
XLL-15b 'Piranha'
XLL-16v 'Piranha'

MX-52a
MX-52b
MX-52d
MX-52e



blurbs under the big ani
Hidden Text: Show
The MX-52 uses 4 IR emitters with an estimated target resolution of 3.2 meters and 5 degree thrust vectoring for guidance and control.

The warhead deals 25 damage whatever that means but seriously it's heat seeking this isn't hitting anything anyway just turn lmao.

The Piranha missile has 15 submunitions that are detonated remotely by a timed fuse or by proximity with the missile.

Fun fact: the submunitions have a turn time of 1.5 seconds, I'm pretty sure that's the slowest it gets for ""anti-fighter"" missiles.

The launch tubes are located in strategic positions around the Colossus' hull to minimize untargetable areas.

Each launch tube can cycled repeatedly for maximum fire rate and on-target saturation without danger of overheat or jamming.

Under "Sytems"(sic)
Hidden Text: Show
The modularity and adaptability of the missile tubes allows their use even in extreme circumstances. Power draw is minimal and crew requirements per launcher are modest. Significant damage control systems are in place in case of damage to the system, preventing premature detonation of warheads within the tubes.

Under specs
Hidden Text: Show
the MX-54 missile launcher comes in an 3x4x5x4x3 array while the Piranha launcher has 3 simultaneous 'canisters' prepared for launch within 30 seconds. Both can be reloaded from empty within 5 minutes.

Under weapon systems
Hidden Text: Show
Each missile bay operates independently allowing it to accurately track separate targets, and protecting them from a system-wide attack.
2 port
2 starboard
2 aft
4 forward

Re: Colossus Cutscene Crowdsourcing
Here's another idea for one of the Crew Descriptions panels:
Hidden Text: Show
To accommodate the full crew compliment, this ship contains an unprecedented amount of recreational facilities. On proposal of Vice Admiral Skroob the following facilities were added: a two-story mall with various shops, two cinemas and an extended ball room. Furthermore, three swimming pools, a circus, and a zoo. Animals are to be shipped to that zoo as soon as it is logistically possible. To man the circus, all officers and crew serving onboard the Colossus have to take additional mandatory courses to learn appropriate entertainment skills. GTVA Central HR believes this also to be a good concept to improve social engagement within the crew.

Admiral Skroops proposal to also add a so called "Mega M.A.I.D." (Modus for Atmospheric Intake and Distribution) option to the Colossus remains under discussion. As does the idea of Corporal C. Braun, callsign SilverAngel, to add a "We break for nobody" bumper sticker.

For the Squadron Compliment:
Hidden Text: Show
Reminder

Any accidental damages to the hangar bay caused by the fighters or bombers operated within are NOT covered by the standard warranty for the GTVA Colossus. Please purchase the extended warranty package to include coverage for such damages up to 250 spacecrafts. Damages caused by intent or gross negligence cannot be covered.

Aft Decks:

Aft Decks contain Secondary Reactors A and B.  Reactor A is a 3rd generation 300 cubic meter Meson reactor, capable of 1.21 gigawatts of electricity. Designed by engineers Mike Kulas and Daniel Wentz.  Secondary rector B is a smaller 200 cubic meter 4th generation Meson reactor capable of 2.1 gigawatts. This was designed by Bob Ross and Tom Servo in association with the University of Deneb - Deneb VI campus.

Automated systems monitor the internal temperature of the reactors and shut them down if they are overheated. In the event of a full reactor core meltdown, automatic lockdown occurs on Aft Decks 12 - 47 and radiation shielding is secured in no less than 12 seconds.  Radiation damage will still occur in those decks, requiring dry-dock repairs.

3000 tons of meson reactor fuel must be delivered weekly to sustain the power requirements of the Colossus if it is on campaign. The same amount monthly, otherwise.

My draft bid for Generic 2:

Hidden Text: Show
The Colossus is propelled by state-of-the-art impulse displacement systems jointly designed by Triton Dynamics and the Akheton Corporation, the apogee of joint Terran and Vasudan systems engineering.  High efficiency molybdenum polyorganic amalgam heat pipes redirect thermal energy to ship systems, including weapon turrets, shield deflectors, and life support.

The Colossus’ subspace drives are unique in their kind, having been designed using retrofitted Shivan prototypes and salvaged engine components from the Hades wreckage.  The primary drive operates in Class FX push-pull fashion, allowing the ship to perform in system shock jumps and to traverse jump nodes deemed by conventional astronavigation systems to be nigh unstable.

Re: Colossus Cutscene Crowdsourcing
How about sneaking some histroy into Generic 1 or 2?

Hidden Text: Show


This ship is named after the Colossus of Rhodes, a monument which is considered to be second youngest of the "Seven Wonders of the World" from Greco-Roman antiquity.
The original monument was erected between 292 and 280 BCE to commemorate the defence of the island state of Rhodes against the Antigonid king Demetrios Poliorketes. Demetrios laid siege to the neutral island from 305 to 304 BCE for its diplomatic ties to Pharaoh Ptolemy I Soter. Fearing that the Rhodians would supply his dynasty’s adversaries with ships in the then on-going conflict between the Antigonid and Ptolemaic rulers, Demetrios assaulted the island with superior force of troops and ships. Despite intervention from Ptolemy and the Antigonids being pressed at home, the Rhodian polis claimed the victory over the besieging force for itself. The Colossus, as an image of the Rhodes’ patron god Helios, was part of the effort to cultivate the narrative of a Rhodian victory, as well as to honour the patron god for what was believed by the polis to be his intervention during the siege.

The statue was destroyed in 226 BCE when an earthquake struck Rhodes, as it probably was not build to withstand the force of the tremors. According to the historian Strabo, no efforts to rebuild the Colossus were made because an oracle advised the Rhodians against doing so.

Despite its reputation as feat of engineering, both to its contemporaries and following generations, the Colossus was also considered a sign of hubris on part of the Rhodians. Various authors of the Greco-Roman period give anecdotes that the construction of the Colossus brought ruin to everyone involved.

The Colossus is often depicted in popular media as standing with on foot on either side of the moles enclosing the harbour of the capital of Rhodes. That image is fabrication which exaggerates the size of the statue, which was only about 30 meters tall, and removes the statue from its religious context to the polis. Contemporary authors did not specify the location of the statue, or its remains, probably because that knowledge was considered to be a given for their audience. It is most likely that the statue was placed within a Helios sanctuary or temple, its site however remains a matter of academic debate.



NOTE: The "second youngest"-thing needs citation; I'll get on that - however that should line up with the first appearance of the GTVA Colossus being "The Sixth Wonder" as the Pharos of Alexandria is the youngest in the most common lists of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
