Its my HUD, I have 56K here!

The hydra is the right size, (proably) it is only a Corvette, the lowest cap in the game, short of a Tug. Next one up is a Frigate then Destroyer then crusier then Battlecruiser then battleship then super caps.

Actually, in the game, it goes,

Fighter
Gas Miner
Freighter
Transport (These three, the freighter and transport are about the same, same with the gas miner)
Frigate
Corvette
Destroyer
Super-Capital (juggernaut)

Is that MS3D you're using?
I didn't know you could do those good of models with that program, perhaps you could teach me some tricks?

Unknown Target:
Law Enforcer uses his own classification System. He's kinda touchy about it.

It is similar to the World War 1 Navy Classifications. I quite like it, it is closer to real ship classifications than the FS2 setup..
He's doing a Total Conversion so changing ship classes is not a problem.

Post by: Mad Bomber on December 11, 2001, 03:01:00 pm
My classification system is the same as the FS2 one, with the following exceptions:

-- Beam Sentry (Mjolnirs and other similar devices.)
-- Gunship (Freighter-sized minicruiser.)
-- Dropship (Anything from cruiser to corvette size that has a fighterbay. This means the Moloch is considered a dropship.)
-- Frigate (Anything that's 1km to 1.7km long, whether it has a fighterbay or not.)
-- Carrier (Differentiated from destroyers by figuring out how many fighters and bombers it has, divided by its length in km. 90 ftr/km or more means it's a carrier.)
-- Juggernaught (Any warship over 5km in length.)

How did you guess it was MS3D? (apart from the hundresd of times Ive said
"I use MS3D! YAY!")

I just moved on from making weapons (not for any particular reson) to ships

I chose my Class system becasue it gives me more ships per side, unfortunatly I have 5 sides! arrr!

Why'd you go and get rid of cruiser?   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

Sheesh, Supercap sounds so freaking pretentious.  Bring back the cruisers and battleships!

Nope!  They don't have to be FS-style cruisers, but the designation is perfectly adequate.

Who are you talking to???

Post by: CP5670 on December 12, 2001, 12:22:00 pm
I decided to just stay with the normal ship classes and designations to avoid confusion. Besides, even though it is not realistic, a ship classified as a "destroyer" sounds like it would be more powerful than a "cruiser."  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) (if I didn't know about real-life naval ship classes then I would probably think that they did it like this too)

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but I could tell because of the interface.
Also, maybe you should lower the amount of sides, and redo the Bandit's "Shark" class, because it doesn't look as good as the rest of them, and it looks sort of wierd (no offense intended).

So this is more like a TC than a FS2 expansion eh?

Some neat concepts for sure!

Whats MS3D?
Title: Hydras and Hurricanes...
Post by: LAW ENFORCER on December 12, 2001, 04:26:00 pm
Yep! Go to www.ARMOUREDSTAR.com ("http://www.ARMOUREDSTAR.com") (for everyone who hasn't)  to find out more!

MS3D is Milkshape 3D, its a low poly editor for HL and other such games, I use it for FS2....


Target, why does everyone say that about the shark?
