Same as battleship, only smaller.

Battleship - 7.5 km, 1 very small hangarbay, ultra-heavy armour & shields, ultra-heavy armament, 25m/s
Example (about 2,5 mil HP, 5 mil shield, 90+ turrets)

Battlecruiser - 3km, no hangarbay, heavy armour & shields, heavy weaponry, 30m/s
Example (about 450000 HP, 1mil shields, around 50 turrets)

Armed!



I find it ironic my mesh is becoming closer and closer to Trashman's :\

Baron, since you like the Space-Battleship concept have you considered doing any of the Starbazer ones? I'd love to get the Andromeda!!! (the one with the twin wavemotion guns on the bow).

I seem to recall someone handling that already

[Star Dragon]

Heru hasn't been here (or at least posted a message) since MAY 14th! So I just mailed him to see if he was alive (cross your fingers).

   It was  a case of out of sight, out of mind... two or three others have mentioned doing a SB mod before but they never panned out.. (sorta like Star Trek). ,Hmmmm.he he he

   Anyay, the mesh looks great, can't wait to see what it looks like mapped. Is this for a specific mod or is it gonna be a general release?  

[TrashMan]

N offense Baron, but give me a single bomber and I'll blast that ship to kingdom come!

It has too many places where a fighter can hide and simply blast away.
My current model (like I said, it's still not finished) may not look uber-cool, but it can kick ass....

[StratComm]

Well Trashman, technically the best ship for not being able to hide from is a sentry gun.  And any ship, no matter how large (with the possible exception of the Hades) can be armed in such a way as to prevent holes in the field of fire.  And if you're talking about another one of your giant overtiled cubes of death, then well

[TrashMan]

CUBES???? CUBES????

I don't make cubes. I make good loking, functional ships!
If you don't like it...tough!

[mikhael]

You do?


*runs*

[Knight Templar]

The correct term would be rectangles.

[StratComm]

Rectangular prisms actually, but who's nitpicking

And Trashman, it's not that your ships are bad.  They are just, well, simple.  Look at Mikhael's carrier thing, then look at the last thing you posted publicly.  Yours probably has more polys but it's form is a little less aestheticly pleasing.

[TrashMan]

*pummels Michael into non-existance*

I can make complex ships too (and no, my ships are low poly....I could make high-detailed "aestheticaly pleasong" ships, but you could have only two--three in a mission. I want large-scale battles!)

[Baron MacDoblin]

If you're all finished pissing (and you are, quite obviously), I wasn't quite happy with my battleship thing, so I stole inspiration from a Battlestar Galactica sketch and made this:



Only 2000-something polys! Probably more once I triangulate and boolean (ooOOOH)! And I promise I'll texture it! Or not!
