Title: New Shivan Fighter - Mara/Taurvi Variant
Post by: Rampage on January 16, 2003, 04:35:58 pm

Freespace 2 Denizens:

May I present you, as food for your starving eyes, MY FIRST MODEL (I started out with a pre-made rectangle-ish shape)!

Download it here. (http://mysite.verizon.net/vze1lyx2/as/dump/SFNyx.zip)  This is the fixed version without all the problems.

The model should be out in a few more days.

Also, it needs a name. :wink:

Well done! :yes:

It looks like a nasty spider or other unfavorable insect.  SF Brown Recluse? :lol:

A bit of advice: chamfer a few edges. even if the shivan ships do look angular, they're actually quite rounded.

I would do that but... Meh.  Too much work. :D

Don't I get some - "Seal of Approval" of some kind? :p

Also, would anyone like to use it in their campaign(s)?  [Woomeister: HINT! HINT!]  ;)

If you made a Terran or Vasudan model, we'd use it in the TVWP. ;)

Model could do with a bit more detail, as could the textures, but for a first model, it's not bad. As such I grant you...

We're going to end up with every FS minimod ever made, aren't we?

Most likely yeah, but.  What's wrong with that?

Definitely though Rampage, you need just a little texturing and I think your set.

What? Are you a TVWP staffer, too? Actually, it would be easier to ask who isn't.

Post by: CateranOverlord on January 17, 2003, 02:50:01 pm

Actually, I'm not but I got some friends on the inside. Y'know what I'm saying.  I was never good act making the missions, I tried a couple'a times and they all sucked, but I've got some friends who are seriously into this sort of thing and they usually ask my opinion.  Rampage here is actually a good bud of mine in real life.

Yeah.  When CateranOverlord left Lithuania for... political reasons, I helped him.  I helped him a lot.  I even got him a career teaching politics at some local high school.  But then he moved on and got into computer security and that kind of thing and I ended up teaching history and failing almost half of my students (Yeah.  It got worse...)

Ohh... I like. Just as it is. After all, how perfect does a bloody TARGET need to be? :lol:

I dub thee..... SF Hydra. How's that?

Oh, I'd give my Highlander Seal of Achievment, but it's uhhh... broken. I'll have to get back to you on that. :(

Just make stuff up, or use Russian town names!

no foo, that's tehe chimera. the hydra is a small super crappy (stat wise ) shivan fighter I've made a year ago. you shuold be able to find a lot of screenshots with it in the OTT or inferno forums.

Anyway, there's a bug with the debris GSP structure.  Several Freespace 2 crashes later, I was able to isolate the problem.  A fix should be available soon.

As far as I know, nothing from OTT has ever been released for community consumption, so I ask again: What SF Hydra?

Just my take on it. :shrugs:

I think he meant the SF Chimera. (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/ott/renders/chimera1.jpg)

Here's the SF Hydra, for comparison.

that's the old one, I have a much better looking version now.
Btw eviscerator, I did release the first version of the benkei, but nobody seemed to give a damn about that.

Title: New Shivan Fighter - Mara/Taurvi Variant
Post by: Eviscerator on January 25, 2003, 10:08:32 pm

Benkei?? Benkei=Hydra? :confused:

Goob, I've seen that. I've been over the OTT site with a fine-toothed metal detector ever since it came online, BUT, again I have no knowledge of any release of anything.

IMHO a released product is always going to take precedence in my mind over an unreleased product. So, in my mind, if somebody wanted to name their released ship the GTVA Nosegoblin, they get to. Even if someone else has named their unreleased Vasudan fighter the same thing. Release beats out no-release, again IMHO.

Also, IMO I believe that fighter would be WAY better as a Vasudan Superiority Fighter than as a Shivan fighter.

I like the design, even if the final execution is a bit too edged. Hmm, names... I know angels, but not demons. Sorry. :D

no, benkei = benkei. tau fighter. I released it in the forum.
As for the name, honestly, I don't care if someone uses the same name as mine. but I think two SF hydra would be kindda stupid, and there's no way I would change the name ( yeah right, gonna track and change the name in all the tbls and missions? ). So voila. I've put a list of all the ships that are in OTT on my website, techroom page ( it's the status page for mods, also ).
And all those are names that I WILL use and WON'T change. after that, it's fine with me if someone decides to make another GTD Gaia or SD Yama. If people like to being confused, well...
