Title: Any Carriers?
Post by: GrandAdmiralAbaht on May 14, 2003, 06:20:07 pm

I have browsed around HLP and have been unable to find a single original Terran or Vasudan carrier design available for download.

So my question is: ARE THERE ANY FREAKIN CARRIERS AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD YET????? :(

I WANT ONE!!!!!:( :(

GVCa Amaunet (http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/forums/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=16436&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending) - I'm currently rebuilding her to fix various fire-through / see-through problems. Should be ready in a month or so.

The GTCa Phoenix is good. I think StratComm made it.

The GTCa Warlock is another good one. It's on the Inferno site. It's about 5k long, though, so it's not really for tactical engagements, only big fleet battles.

Always try the Rosmerta.  Go to the Reciprocity forum and there's a link to the downloads page (not the one accessable from the site )

Rosmerta is about 4Km long and looks rather different to most FS2 capships.  And definitely go for the Tanen.

The Rosmerta has really good hangers :D :D.

One of those ships looks suspiciously like the Roger Young from Starship Troopers.  Otherwise, they are up to Aldo's usual standards.  Not exactly Freespace design ethic, but then again neither are most of my stuff.  Just a different perspective I suppose.

Personally I think the Tanen is the single ugliest Vasudan ship ever released (well, at least because of its terrible texturing).

i wanted to try myself on a personal design, so i started a lot of time ago this thing, it's taking ages btw, since i'm giving most of my modding time to the SW conversion, so it will take ages to reach a definitive stage... and it's not a pure carrier....but...

remind that it's only a wip :

Hmm... the lighting makes it hard to tell what the shape looks like, but from what I can tell, I really like it. :D

As Sandwich said, it's a little hard to make out, but looks good so far.:yes:

The semi-organic shape is quite Vasudan, though the hard edges say Terran.  Cross-species ship, Like the Myrmidon?

How big is it going to be anyway? Frigate size (~1.5km) or Super-Mega-Carrier size (~3km+, of which we have far too many already....:nervous: )

it will not be much freespacy, mostly because i don't like so much the freespace style for capships, with little exceptions.
it is more a mix of matsumoto, calamari and somehow galactica design
althought i worked without blueprints or concepts and with only a vague idea in mind of what i wanted to obtain, i tried to "motivate" the shape, to give a reason for what i did (shape ~ function), but i may post all these considerations later since i have now to go, just let me say that i still have to do a lot of geomtry, the secondary fighterbay in the bottom half, the 3 secondary engines in the second section from the front (that will give extra speed and maneuvrability), the main bridge in the rear where you can see this big flat area
