Title: New Dreadnaught (destroyer?)
Post by: Starfury on October 10, 2002, 08:22:10 pm: I just whipped this up in Blender in a couple of hours... figures, I buy Lightwave and still use Blender. :lol:

I've never seen the Raynor... was going for an original design, :(

Well, soon you may be seeing a new Raynor. :)

It don't really look like the Raynor to me tho.

I kinda see a resemblance, but not much.

Yeah, this happened to me too. Is there any way we can actually see this new mod?

EDIT: Oh, and Codedog, nice render, man!:yes: :nod:

That pic always brings a tear to my eye, Codedog. :D I love that model.

Post by: Liberator on October 11, 2002, 12:24:41 am: Looks kind of B5ish.

Does it have a name yet?
If not I suggest GTDn Rubicon
Individual ship name could include:
GTDn Praetor
GTDn Caesar
GTDn Senator
etc.
Do you see a pattern?

Post by: EdrickV on October 11, 2002, 02:48:21 am: Interesting design. And those ball turrets are unusual. :)
Title: New Dreadnaught (destroyer?)
Post by: karajorma on October 11, 2002, 03:17:46 am: Very, Very nice work. :yes: I see it as a destroyer rather than a dreadnaught. Does it have any hangers on it?
Title: New Dreadnaught (destroyer?)
Post by: Ryx on October 11, 2002, 03:23:02 am: Polycount???????

Nope, no hangers yet. I thought about that last night after I went to bed.

And the Polycount is up near 3000 because of the turrets... I tend to like the "extrude" function a little too much. :D It'll probably end up being over with additional turrets. :nervous:

Post by: Thor on October 11, 2002, 08:05:52 am: I said reminiscent. It just reminded me of it. That's all. I do like it.

Post by: Su-tehp on October 11, 2002, 12:36:42 pm: It only just now occurred to me to DL the gif file. :doh:

This dreadnaught looks pretty good, but it seems a bit too blocky for a modern Terran cap ship, though... If it was a FS1-era dreadnaught, then it would look really cool for it's time, but somehow, it just doesn't strike me as a state-of-the-art post-FS2 Terran supercap for some reason.

Same happens to me, as I have a freewebz site, so when I try and post an img I get the same effect. Is there no web host that is useful?

Well maybe considering that a hecate tends to get the crap kicked out of it when it goes broadside to broadside against an orion maybe terran command has had enough of fancy ships and wants blocky ones that kick arse again :D

HLP Hosting:D

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on October 11, 2002, 01:02:06 pm: Yes well, I'd much rather be happy than right anyday!
Title: New Dreadnaught (destroyer?)
Post by: Starfury on October 11, 2002, 01:33:08 pm: As would I... HLP Hosting would rock. I plan to get it whenever I finish making the story for...

[pimp] [thunder] My New Campaign [/thunder] [/pimp]...

Anyways, I kinda suck at ship design, so as soon as I get that story done I'll be looking for staff. And as for the destroyer/dreadnaught, I'm still working on it, that's just what I whipped up yesterday. :D So it'll hopefully be better rounded. Oh... the 2 large cannons? Meson cannons (I think they'll be anyway)

man, that was lame, huh?
Title: New Dreadnaught (destroyer?)
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on October 13, 2002, 04:45:06 am: To me the two large cannons look like the PBCs form I-War.

You can thank Corsair for that. He did it.
Title: New Dreadnaught (destroyer?)
Post by: Starfury on October 13, 2002, 05:20:04 pm: Good point, Petrarch. I've replaced the cannons. On a side note: Anybody know how you get Lightwave to fix ... bad, I guess you would call it, geometry? i.e. I have halves of objects on the inside of the ship that I don't really need. Is there a simple way to fix this with lightwave?
Title: New Dreadnaught (destroyer?)
Post by: Wildfire on October 16, 2002, 05:41:05 am: Where can I download the fixed version of the GTD Raynor. I had the original but I got xhull missing errors and stuff.
Title: New Dreadnaught (destroyer?)
Post by: tomcat on October 16, 2002, 08:51:14 am: Starfury relax..Raynor is not even close as design with your ship..i think your is better loocking and trust me i know what i am sayin'...Just make soem very nice textures to it.:)
Title: New Dreadnaught (destroyer?)
Post by: Starfury on October 16, 2002, 09:29:52 am: heh, working on textures in Lightwave. I think they look pretty good... when they're rendered. Otherwise they look pretty crappy :\
