That was Rampage jumping the gun a bit for how fast the dumped Ryujin would be released. It will be released seperately, but probably not 'soon'

However I can say to expect a big announcement on something within the next 24 hours :)

Oooooh

 
Ah, good to know there's news coming about this. I've been working with old INFR1 assets for a good half year now trying to make my own campaign, but having updated and new models would definitely help as well.

A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress to more pain."

Hmm, well I don't think any of the staff will be on to do ask for any changes to the post I'm planning so I may move it to today then. Rampage is away and Mobius probably won't show up today.

Yeah.  Jumped gun.  Sorry if that confused the Community.

Rampage is away and Mobius probably won't show up today.

I still have access to the web but will not be working to release anything in the next few days.  Expect more eyecandy in the upcoming week, though.

EA Missile Cruiser (WIP)

Will it replace Aeasacus or Eclipse or will be a third cruiser?

BTW with Darkness missile barrage shot in 10th Anniversary topic it looks like EA will be a bit more missile heavy :)
You know, 10 years ago when I first saw Inferno ship gallery (months before R1 release) I imagine EA ships with no beams but with FS1 high power plasma cannons (kinda like R1 EA blob turrets) and missiles. I really love EA silver beams but I'm still kind nostalgic about that no-beamz EA :)

No-beamed EA would be too much UEF-like. The two main mods dealing with the return to Earth shouldn't be too similar that way IMHO. I think it's good that the EA have beams, and powerful ones to boot.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

They have railguns and missiles as supplementary though, same as the GTVA which have lots of secondary capital weapons.

Sweeeeeeeeet !!!!!!!! science crusier based on vagyr/tadiani frigate,  not sure what missile cruiser is based, if its based on anything. Its looking awesome, Are these replacing exsiting cruisers?

I think its a good idea to give the EA other weapons, as i thought their weapons in R1 where basically the same as the GTVA's cept white beams.

I hope they don't replace existing cruisers, the Aesacus and Eclipse are iconic Inferno...

The missile cruiser, known as the EAC Soter, will not replace either cruiser from classic Inferno.  Instead it will feature as a defensive/support ship by firing long-range missiles behind the front lines.  It will not carry the iconic EA silver beam cannon but will carry long-range mass drivers, dealing pain and death to smaller (cruiser and smaller support vessels), not unlike the Vaygr Trinity Cannon from HW2.

EA beam cannon technology (or "flux cannons" as I like to call them) is quite different from those used by the GTVA, since they have no Vasudan-influenced technology.  Instead it is a proprietary design based off of the Lucifer's flux cannons from the wreckage and perfected over the course of INFA.  It is supposed to be weaker on a per-shot basis but use less power and thus can fire faster (currently not balanced).

BTW, although we take a lot of influence (a good thing) from the Homeworld series (and other sources) when designing our ships, we do not rip any ships directly from the game and claim it as our own (something one should never do).  All meshes are either redesigned from scratch or modified for FS2 and used with permission from the donor (e.g. - the EAD Basileus).  Nevertheless, we never fail to give credit to where it's due.

I must admit, I'm really liking the Vaygr influences in some of the newer EA ships. It blends well with their existing designs.
