:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

You'd have a job........

1) No helios warheads in The Swarm War
2) Anti-fighter and anti-bomb weaponry is very advanced in the Karran Imperium.

looks strikingly similar to vader's Executor.

Similar in that it has a visible bridge, yes. But sadly the similarity completely stops there, I'm afraid.

She's 100% original.

Add some stuff to the fron section. It's kinda empty there. But the overall design is nice. And also add more diferent kind of textures.
Other then that it looks good;)

Wow, over tiled...

Looks like a solid design, but those textures have to get a little better.

1) Textures are staying as they are. Unless someone's got some gold plating and better lights of course.

2) The Serenity class Battleship is NOT BASED ON ANYTHING IN ANY SCI-FI FRANCHISE THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS. Stop trying to draw comparisons with other ships, it's gonna drive me mad, mainly because I spent time making sure it wasn't related. You can't have a ship that doesn't look at least a little similar to something else. It's not possible.

3) The 'Rudder' isn't. I haven't yet fully decided what it is, but she looked 'empty' down there.

4) She's got no turrets as yet. I'm still in the process of making them. She's 6km long, so it's quite a job, considering the amount of firepower she's supposed to put out.;7

Just so you get an idea, all being well the Serenity class Battleship would slaughter the Colossus in a broadside. Simple as that. Also, bombers wouldn't stand a chance for two reasons:

- The anti-fighter weaponry on board the ship itself is formidable. By the later stages of the war, anti-fighter lasers (weaker AAAf beams but with faster recharge times) are commonplace. This was to counter the massive amounts of Swarm craft.

- The Karran fighters would eat their GTVA equivalents for breakfast. In this TC the 'play' button has been pressed and the ships are a hell of a lot faster than their FS equivalents. The Gencore Phoenix does about 250m/s. And if you think that's fast, try playing Starlancer. They do 300+ m/s on average.

When I'm ready, I'll post a pic of the Senshi class Heavy Cruiser. If you don't like that, well........:ha:

We only said it reminded us of something else...not that it was copied from something else :)

Actually, starlancer is Km/s, according to the HUD, but that would be just silly, the ships would have to be huge, or you'd fly from one end to the other in the blink of an eye.

I'm sure I've seen a spinning frying pan dangling from a string before.

Would look like half of Star Fleet to me. Just with a single nicelle blown off.

Hehe - indeed.

One of these days I may just finish turreting this ship! :D

Somehow it looks more like a luxaryship than a Battleship.
Title: Ladies and Gentlemen.......
Post by: Killfrenzy on November 07, 2002, 03:58:47 pm
That might be for one of two reasons:

1) That picture has no turrets

2) It's not a screenshot of her putting out her average firepower (more than the Colossus).

And seriously, if anyone does know of/have a decent 'gold plate' texture, ME WANT!!!

Maybe I have got something for you, its not exactly gold and its not descent, but take a look, what was your Email?

The reason that I'm using gold plate, is that the Karran Imperium decorate their ships. If you know the Spanish Armada galleons, you'll know what I mean.
