Title: Yet another Hades reskin
Post by: Galemp on November 22, 2002, 02:53:05 am: Yes, yes, I know, there's always a desire to reskin the Hades. I was messing around and came up with this, using the Orion textures; it's not that bad. Perhaps what would have happened if the GTA had started construction on it before they met the Shivans.

Say, that gives me an idea. Would the Alternate Paths team be interested in this?

It ain't that bad. Especially for a camp such as AP where there is no shivans to influence the design. Nice work GE, NOW GO TO BED.
;) :p

Edit: Voting for yourself?? tsk tsk.. :wink:

Well, considering the size of the thing, it must have been under construction for much of the T-V War. (Remember it took twenty years--with the cooperation of BOTH species--to build the Colossus.) Perhaps the Shivan tech was a last-minute addition in 2335. That's why I thought the AP team would be interested.

...and shouldn't this be in the modding forum..?

Post by: Galemp on November 30, 2002, 11:35:20 pm: Well, like I said, for it to be done by 2335 it was probably under construction for much of the T-V War-- an ultimate weapon to beat the Vasudans, or something.

Glad Analazon picked it up. We may have a use for it later. Oh...uh...not like we have anything planned beyond the main project...aheh heh...
:nervous:

How about what the Hades would have looked like without shivan influence? Worth a shot maybe...

Ahem.. thats what the original one was meant to be like, however I believe Bobboua did a good reskin that added shivan influence!
