Title: My first two ships
Post by: TopAce on April 09, 2003, 01:16:21 pm: With TS3.2 and PCS 1.3.3, I was able to make my first two models: The GTGs Antwerpen, and the SSG Doomsday

here are the pofs and the table data, please make your opinion:

Updated: 15th April, 33% larger size, more HP, two additional dock points, targeting image now works fine, flak turrets has weaker hull, better engine subszstem placing, tech database info added. Shivan sentry has three dock points now, tech database info added.

Otherwise, I got a new terran cruiser made, too, but it is classified Level Theta :)

I like it!:D

The gunship is realy like a hand weapon, but it is a FS2 ship! ;)

The shivan one is a sentry, with two LReds, and four SAAAs, very powerful.

Negative, it is a large sentry like the Mjolnir, just shivan. I am not going to modify it to an installation. I have other problems to attend to.

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on April 09, 2003, 01:44:50 pm: Sounds good, but what use would the Shivans have for such a device? They have no interest in holding territory.

Post by: karajorma on April 09, 2003, 01:45:25 pm: I like the second one but the first one looks too much like a gun for my liking.

Guarding nodes. Shivans like them.

In the nebula. When Terrans and Vasudans appear, these devices can welcome them. LReds can immediatly destroy a cruiser.

Really has the shape like a pistol, but if you download it, you will experience its true being of a ship

Oh, yes I'd forgotten about that. It's some sort of fetish, isn't it.

Post by: Grunt on April 09, 2003, 02:22:49 pm: Not bad for a first (two). :)
I would say the texturing is perfect (see above).
You'll have to move the two dock points (for both docks) away from each other with about 1 m. Now they are in the same position.
Also you'll need to create Paths for both (two separate paths). Without path data it will crash FS when a ship tries to dock to it.

Post by: tomcat on April 10, 2003, 05:40:49 am: The first is the worst ship I ever saw...Does it drill also..?
Title: My first two ships
Post by: IPAndrews on April 10, 2003, 05:41:56 am: Can you change the front and use it as a power screwdriver?
Title: My first two ships
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on April 10, 2003, 05:43:27 am: Nah, its a cordless drill.
Title: My first two ships
Post by: tomcat on April 10, 2003, 05:44:00 am: no don't change it..we can use it to drill holes in that Sathanas beat...I'll bet it will hurt it big time.

Better than the water pistol of the Colossus, at any rate. ;)
Title: My first two ships
Post by: IPAndrews on April 10, 2003, 05:53:20 am: I agree. Please model the workmate next. I have already started writing a whole DIY themed FS2 campaign where the ruling body of the GTVA has been replaced by Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor.
Title: My first two ships
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on April 10, 2003, 05:57:57 am: :lol:

And BTW, the Colossus is a Phaser Rifle.

Is the screwdriver coming next? ;)

Seriously though, the dissing might stop him from posting any more ships. We should be supportive, but not overly abusive...

The first ship does look like a drill or gun, but he's trying. The second looks like alright, I guess. Reminds me of a horseshoe crab, but thats just me.

Post by: gevatter Lars on April 10, 2003, 08:47:56 am: Hey thats a funny ship...reminds me of my bottleopener ship.
Found a old pic here...Second ship right side (http://gevatter_lars.tripod.com/sa_ships/id3.html)
Well I have modified it so that is not to obvius that it is a bottleopener.
