Title: The Complete Listing of Volition's Concept Pictures
Post by: Pegasus V on September 14, 2001, 11:02:00 pm
Want to see the complete listing of Volition's concept pictures?
 Volition's Concept Pictures (//"http://www.geocities.com/alpha_quadrant_project/concept.html")  


This includes the concept pictures that Volition actually made models of. I have also included ones that have already been made by users (such as Venom) with a comparison picture.

Alright, a little problem with some captions  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

First off, prior to 2338, Khonsu's regieme was not in power, so there was no former palace on Vasuda Prime.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

Also since there is the GTCa Balius within tBE, I'd ask if you could kindly not use it for a transport name since it could lead to confusion if someone builds a model off of your suggested use of the concepts.

Still, this is great, I'd put up even "used" arts, but I'd remove names from the concepts and just write down what you think it would be great for. (also check for some of the early FS2 concept arts like the Vasudan super carrier and Terran super carrier)

I have now updated the Concept archieves. I didn't realise Balius was already used, but I've now changed it to Eos.

The names are only suggestions. They're only there to save time for people making them, etc. Use the names or don't, I don't mind.

Thanks for your kind comments and suggestions. I will be assembling the other concept pictures momentarily.

Thanks  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

It's great that someone is compiling this stuff though.

(BTW, let's just hope that Eos of the Red Faction doesn't get pissed at her name being used now j/k)

Just so that everyone knows, I used Greek god names for the Terran ships, Egyption for Vasudan ships of course, and Hindu god names for Shivan ships.

Even though they are just suggestions, is everyone happy with that naming system? And the names I've chosen?

unfortunately,all are not here (open the freespace bible, and look at the begining, the pic of the Jotunn concept (my big converted bomber), the (huge) bomber next to it is a good exemple of what I call "missing" concepts.
Ok, fort the concepts themselves: for me the Iaso is more a vasudab ship (but nevermind), and I've done the Icarius (called the Benkei anyway, Tau ship that doesn't follow GTA naming convention)

appolyon and appollo mk2 are just preliminary concepts for the original appollo btw  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) (nice exemple of how a concept is evoluing IMO)

Remember I said that I'm not including already made concept pics. I'll probably put them in another section. Great stuff Venom. I'll remove the Benkei now. Plus I will change the Eos to a support ship - good thinking.

Yeah, but you misunderstood me lol: I meant on the pic there's the jotun you already know, and next to it there's another bomber I ='ve never seen before, and she's not in the vp file.

here's the pic I'm talking about:

  (http://lancelot.legendjsm.net/mellis/venompics/bomberVconcept.jpg)  
As you can see, the left bomber is unknown (tho it looks like a ursa concept to me, the basic shape is there)... there's even a third ship above them, and I feel like it's another missing concept... I suppose we'd have to contact volition for those...

Yeh.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Oh and - maybe that left ship is one of the early concepts of the Zeus.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

It looks ok on my computer.

I've had a fiddle and removed the framework. Does it look ok now?

Thanks.

youga: new comments  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
first, you made a typo on Tau  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif) damn you!  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif) (just kinddind  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) )

the zeus mk2... it's actually a concept of the zeus I think, but it's still different. the zeus is not a perfetc delta anymore (and that's better  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) )
The Enceladus is definitively a heavy fighter, not a light one  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) (two seats)
the bromios, ther's no error, but I have to say I have a full page of concept pics for the zefirus, this one is part of that larger pic.
the capacious: cool, I didn't have this one  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) (but it looks different, that's odd)
the Alpheus: I really think it's a RBC, with exausts, not to move, but to rotate around an axis.
The tuat is still the exact concept pic for that vasudan transport ingame (only difference: her engine nacelle' arms are more flat)
The kebechet missile is probably a vasudan destroyer (look like it has a bridge and lots of turrets)


On a side note, I love the Vasus. I might do this one.

My favourite is the Savitar and the Khnum. I also like the Somtus, but I wish I knew what class it was...

Thanks for your help and suggestions Venom  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) . I've made another update, fixing a couple of things that you said... And for some reason I always spell Tau wrong  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/rolleyes.gif) it really annoys me... I was going to upload all of the concepts for the Zephyrus, but I decided not to in the end, I can't remember why. I'll have to update that tonight.

By the way, I like the Tuat better than the Isis. And I agree with you Venom about the Alpheus... Do you think the Capacious would be a pre-design for AWACS?

Another reason why I gave them my own names is so we have a reference for them.

It's good to see you taking an interest in some more concept art Venom. I can't wait to see the results!! (makes a prayer to the dear lord Venom... Please, oh, please make the GVBe Khnum...).... Sorry...

 (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif) sorry, I don't remember which one is the khnum, and damn geocities shut down your site for one hour coz you uploaded to much things at once, it seems.
For the capacious, I think it's a freighter lol (look, it's in fact, a big... fence? with lots of cargoes in it, so either a freighter or a supply dock... heh, that's a good idea for a mod, I always thiought it was dumb, all those cargoes lying like that, in space)

Do you guys think the GVCv Septum ("http://www.geocities.com/alpha_quadrant_project/GVCv_Septu.jpg") looks a little like the Taurvi?

Yes, I think so. I think it was the evolving concept for the Taurvi.

I've just updated my site again. I've sent up 3 new comparisons of models made from concepts. Plus I will be uploading the remaining concept pics in less than 12 hours...

The naming convention:

Terran: Greek Gods
Vasudan: Egytian Gods
Shivan: Hindu Gods

I got all the god names from that paetheon (whatever) site that whatshisname put on the boards a while ago.

Done and done. Thanks. For some stupid reason Geocities changes the picture completely. Like I uploaded SCv_Moloch.jpg and it converted it into the Sathanus still with the original name... Very wierd.
