Title: The TDFx Apocalypse....
Post by: Vasudan Commander on January 09, 2007, 05:45:15 pm
This may be in the wrong forum, so apologies if it is....

I remember a long long time ago, i downloaded a warship called the TDFx Apocalypse. Im not sure what mod it was for, i cant remember. But it was 20 km long, resembling the terran medical frigate, and had 'electro-beams'....lots of them. Sparkly blue beams, comparable in strength to the Sathanas' main beam cannons.

Does anyone know where this website is ? Or what this ship is ? More info please....my memory is too vague....

OOoooooooooooooohhhhhh......Machine Terra ! NOW I remember !  :P

Yer...i downloaded the TDFx Apocalypse ages ago. I saw it, then just put it in a FRED mission, put it up against 1 Sathanas and 3 Ravanas, to see who would win with beam cannons on.


TDFx Apolypse creamed the crap out of em.

The Apocalypse had a nice face-lift since then, though. Quite some time has passes since the release of that alpha mod.

I don't think that there's ever been a public shot of the new version. Styxx has the last word on releasing any stuff to the public, but I think he's preserving the Apocalypse shots for that a-ha effect when you see it first in the campaign.

WOW... You got an armed version? I just used the original unarmed version as a "Passenger-Liner". I don't even remember if the parts rotated yet, that's how old it is...

I agree, if you've revived it for MT, icksnae on showea... Save pics for the "Oooo!" Effect... That's what I said first time I ever saw it.  :D

Glad to hear it got a "face-lift", it DID need one.  :nervous: *runs*

Post by: Styxx on January 11, 2007, 12:02:17 pm
Well, yeah, the new - much improved, and textured by Dark, if anyone remembers him - version won't be shown before MT is released. The same is true for a lot of eye-candy stuff we have finished. We may have some new screenshots soon, though, as soon as I have time to work on one of the mod aspects that's not finished yet.

Long ago they had an armed version, i remember downloading it and having it blow the sh!t out of 2 sathanas' . Its 'electro-beam' cannons are littered all over it. Its over 20 kilometres long. Kinda looks like a GTM Hippocrates...only 20 kilometres long.... lol.

Friggin deadly tho....wish i still had that model.

Title: Re: The TDFx Apocalypse....
Post by: Vasudan Commander on February 01, 2007, 11:32:14 pm
IMHO, i think its the most powerful terran MOD warship developed. Back when it was released as an alpha, i downloaded it and those electro beams, and warped it in against 4 Sathanas' . All had beam FFA. It decimated the Sathanas' with EASE. (though the Apoc's hull integrity fell below 50% , not critical though)

I was exaggerating. I'm saying that the Apocalypse is NOT the most powerful MOD warship developed. Col. Fishgut's super Argo is.

It damaged the Gargant to 89%. And that was while it was cheating (firing three beams at once).

You mean it still only has one Punisher? It would be cooler with 3 or 4! :shaking:

No No No! I mean with the Punisher split into four beams with a quarter of the power each. That way it could attack multiple targets.

Not really, that wouldnt be completely unbalanced, you know its called testing, Play around to MAKE it balanced, SNail, Just saying "no stupid" makes you look like a jerk and a dumbass, no offense, But to those who wish it to be done, Git-R-Done, Looks like you wont be getting help from the pros so work on it yourself

Post by: Dark Hunter on June 29, 2007, 06:23:33 pm
Is this Apocalypse ship really powerful enough to be a serious threat to the Icanus? From looking at the .zip files, it doesn't appear to be... (and yes, I do realize those files are a beta version.)
Title: Re: The TDFx Apocalypse....
Post by: Snail on June 30, 2007, 03:26:45 am
I've just checked and the answer is... 'No.'

By moving away from an unsustainable expansionist military policy to a utopian society where poverty, inequality and greed fall to make way for the search for true enlightenment and what makes us quintessentially human?

If you guys read everything, EA kicks the shivans asses. From what i have figured they are no longer humans but a sort of hybrid cybertech race now, Seems as being attacked on entrance back to Sol, they no longer view us as allies meaning, well theres something different about them. Thats what i figured, not unless some virus broke out and they mutated into like ancient/terran hybrid. Which would be royally kick ass. But yeah, Read through all the fictions.
Title: Re: The TDFx Apocalypse....
Post by: GenericCorvette on July 02, 2007, 08:35:20 pm
IIRC, the EA are some inhabitants of Sol who eventually allied together and started becoming hostile to outsiders and non-EA factions. Mega uber cybertech virus mutation hybrids of doom sound a bit too cliche/cheesy to be true.
