Title: The Auriga question
Post by: wardog300 on November 27, 2014, 11:39:34 am
I just saw the EACa Auriga,it looks awesome(i really like the Orion) and was wondering if i could get it somehow.It would be in my campaign as EA equivalent of GTCa Phoenix.Poly number doesn't mater,if my PC can handle High Poly Raynor along with Low poly Sathanas in same mission,it can live everything(BTW I forgot to beam-free the Sath,so Raynor won,YAY!).

And that's the reason i want it.
Returreted?I hope it can survive a single fighter now,i always had to add an Aeolus or a Deimos to protect the Orion.

Find out Trashman's GTHD Orion Mk.2. It's actually almost the same thing with spinal beam cannon and different multipart turrets.

I really like the ship,but i wanted an EA version.If it can't be downloaded,than,ehm,i don't know.Maybe i could get some good looking textures from other EA ships,but than again i don't know which program to use,i only have the modelview32 and i don't know does it even have texture editing and changing features.
Also Auriga has two fighterbays?I thought it is same as the Orion.

Retexturing the GTHD Orion Mk.2 to make a fake-Auriga doesn't look so good (I've tried it).

Bottom center (the orion looking thing). I just pulled this picture from page 6(!) of the "New Eyecandy Thread", so its old as hell, but the model hasn't changed at all AFAIK.
Don't think it has anything to do with the Derelict one.

It's mirrored (symmetrical), so it has a fighterbay on either side.

Yeah, it's low poly Ryujin. High poly one is a bit different, so it not what you can find on more recent screenshots.

I have the OTT Ryujin the PAX Imperia(as its nameplate says),and like the design,although i don't really like their capship textures.Think that its bigest fault is lack of side turrets,a Fenris could pull to its side and unleash tremendous damage from its...LtTerSlash?What role does it play anyway, i know that Lindos is lazer bastard,Tereus is main destroyer,Auriga(the beauty No.1)is carrier and Nemesis(the beauty No.2) is the capital super destroyer.

You can find released version of GTD Atropos. Woolie Wool released low-poly one with different textures, standard FS destroyer scaling and new turret setup. It uses the same mesh as old EAD Ryujin and Pax Imperia.

Ryujin types of ships are alright,but i already have three GTVA terran destroyers:Boreas,Icelus and Raynor,and two EA:Tereus and Lindos,so i currently dont need new one.

As for the Auriga since i cant get it,i'll most likely use the GTCa Hyperion from Twist of Fate as EACa Hyperion,because its white-gray like rest of EA ships,its smaller but still has two fighterbays,and with correct armament it can be deadly.

Carriers actually should not be deadly themselves. Main weapons of the carriers are their fighters and bombers payload, and anti-capital weapons should be not present here or be token. Sagittarius aka Hyperion from Twist of Fate demo has two big cannons on her nose. If You want to give your carrier anti-capital cannons and don't want to make your own cannons, two SSilvers should be a good option.

I meant deadly to fighters,it has lots of point defense weapons that are pretty nicely placed,with the weapons i plan on putting,it will be as dangerous to fighters as a Deimos is.Two nose cannons will be TerSlashSilver that i made,it is better than TerSlashBlue and SSliver,but worse than MBlue or MSilver.So as far as carriers go,the Hyperion is smallest,strongest against fighters,weakest against warships,still it has firepower to destroy cruiser,and challenge larger vessels.It will be only ship in the mod that's carrying the Anti-Shield Beam,that anihilates shields,and does no damage against hull,that is if the beam is succesful,i have to check is Aeolus stronger with them or with AAAf.And it will carry the Rapid Flak,refire rate is 0.001 sec but has low damage.
Like all other cruiser-destroyer sized vessels,it is heavily vulnerable to GTC Ticonderoga's broadside,and wont survive for long.

Even through other carriers are more relying on anti-capital firepower.

GTCa Warlock-2xBFBlue
