Title: GTCv Chiron
Post by: Nico on August 27, 2001, 02:46:00 pm
  (http://lancelot.legendjsm.net/mellis/venompics/chiron01.jpg)  
lenght: 1050 meters
"The GTCv Chiron is the current corvette in use in the NGTA fleet. It features an impressive array of weapons, a high top speed and a fairly good maneuvrability for a vessel of this size. A Gaia class cruiser is usually followed by three Chiron, and height Aegis. Such a fleet is designed to be able to face any opponent, and command even exepect it to be able to deal with a stathanas on it's own. The Chiron provides medium range cover against lesser vessels, while the Aegis will take care of bombers, allowing the Gaia and its bomber complement to effectively take down the largest foes."

edit: it's not finished, but I wanted to post an early pic of this ship.

Looks awsome m8e

only problem is those red beamports in the front, and at the sides of the hull

it makes the ship look like a clown or something funny

correction I THINK it looks like a bloated fish with those red beam ports

Nice eyeball-turrets  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Great ship. I still love those rotating missile turrets.

Whoops. My mind started wandering  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I was concentrating on the fact that they were NOT missile turrets, and my subconcious decided that they were  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

I actually found better maps for those beams than the one I did by hand, so you won't see them again I suppose

This looks suspiciously like X-Bomber from Starfleet  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif).

Cool model as always Venom, you make it look so easy I'm jealous.

Maybe building up some sort of 'superstructure' around the bow laser batteries might help alleviate the 'eyeball' look.

Those dorsal AAA batteries look absolutely fantastic.

Everyone here who thinks that Venom should release a texture tutorial raise your hand...

HNNH? I can't do tutorials... why? coz I'm a lazy bast4rd  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) Plus I map in 3dsmax, so any good tutorial for max will do the job better than one written by me I guess

Night hammer, once again: yes  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) I'm working on   website right now, should bo ready for public soon.

No, no, no. Starfleet. Look. Just go here and download the MPEG. Starfleet man! X-Bomber!

I don't see it...

Venom's ship's tail end has six "points" (three of what look like engines, and three of what look like fins). This X-Bomber ship you're talking about has the tail end of an "X"... like Star Wars X-Wings.

Also, the front end of Venom's is like a big head on the end of a neck... That X-Bomber, it's front swoops down, more like one of those steam rug cleaners (aka Stanley Steamer, etc).

If you ask me... I don't see any resemblence.

But... I do think that that X-Bomber ship could make a good looking fighter. Plus, from that link you put at the VBB ("http://vbb.volition-inc.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/015514.html"), I think Volition has more explaining to do than Venom:

Oh my dear... that ship is exquisite, Venom. Form and functionality in one  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) I swear, you and Aldo just have to work for some game devs sometime. Go hassle Steve and the Particle Systems team.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
