Title: GVF Ennead
Post by: Nico on September 04, 2001, 01:33:00 pm
I've been chalenged by Slanker to make my version of a model, and he would do his own. It's based on a volition concept, and as I'm very proud of the result, I've made the thruster flames, the lods and the debris, and it will be the new vasudan light interceptor in my campaign:

My model:

For now I made the exact same ship, and the texture lacks weapon evidences, so I may do 2 versions of it.

Damn... another cool model!  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

And looking at the model (opposed to the concept art)... it looks like a ship based on some Vasudan insect or something.

*drools* Venom, I honestly have to say that you are the best modeler in this community, hands down.  you pop out very high-quality models in no time at all.  you make it seem so easy, I don't know how in the world you do it.  keep up the good work man.

Thanx dude   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) (harg the nodding smiley   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif) )
I'm glad about everybody likes what I'm doing, coz that's what I want to do as a job. About this model, it should be converted really soon, and, well, I think I'll make a public release of it, so you can have an idea of what you'll find in my campaign -that's called mega huge pimping   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)-

I meant no offense to any other modelers in the community.  thoug hI must admit, Aldo, you have gained a lot of skill in a relatively short time span.  your work is very good.  with enough time and effort, you may even be able to surpass Venom (no offense Venom, but he is quite good.  a lot better than me any way  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)).  keep up the good work, everyone  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

You know, it's a good model... but it's ugly as sin.  I find that concept really unapealing.

Im with ya shrike!
*LAW puts his arm round shrike (NOT LIKE THAT!  - remember, bandit pics, umm?? umm??)*
*shrike stares at him*
*LAW slowly backs off*

*LAW sends in 2nd GRDLA Fleet*
*other people sned in thier fleets*
*in the words of MG386 - Join Battle Now! battel commences*

Nice model but design is ugly as! now wonder it wern't in the game (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

I'm tellin' ya it looks like an insect. Like a dragonfly or something really fragile. It looks like on good AAAf could tear it to shreds. But if you put a swarm of these things in a mission like locusts... could be trouble.

What would be cool is to make this 2 ships.
The front section as a fighter and the rear section as a really fast booster section.
Once the 2 dock the booster section could move the fighter about the battlefield real quick.
ok with jump drives this doesn't make sense, but in my universe there are jump interdictor ships and most light fighters have lost jumpdrive to make more room for weapons /shields/etc.

anyway is this Idea even possible?

nope, coz you can't move when docked with another ship

really?  hmm...while it may not work for player ships, how about this:  have a freighter dock with a special container.  this container would be mounted with a thruster (like a boost unit) which would activate under a SEXP (I'm sure there's one for this situation).  with the combined thrust of both the container and the freighter, speed would be dramatically increased.  however, the only flaws I can see are if the container AI would disallow it, and if containers are allowed to move while being held in place by a freighter.  just a thought.  (I also realize I may be repeating myself and that Venom may have already answered this question.  if this is the case, I apologize.)

Cargo can move with a freighter. Example: the level when you have to get the shield prototype out of Aqualiae in FS1.

Really? I would never have known that beacuse of the billions of times freighters have docked with cargo and taken it away (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
