The guru has created another strike craft from a Taiidan ship. But this time is DH style!
Introducing the [Insert Name Here]:

Living Large, stop playing The Sims and come up with a name! :D
This vessel will be released shortly.
-
Doesn't look too Terran IMO, but Mythica calls it the Tartarus.
-
Yeah, this thing doesn't look too terran to me.
Replace the white lines with dark grey or maybe brown and you got a shivan bomber.
-
I suggest, if possible, to make the texture files larger. Right now it looks like you're got some pretty small maps on there, and it's affecting how your ship looks.
-
or perhaps put vasudan textures on it, or shivan.
it really, really, doesn't look terran
-
I think the model looks quite Terran, but it is desperate need of new textures.
-
Hmm, what's the prefix tag? I'd call it the Illiad or the Daedalus.
-
IIRC the Daedalus has been done, it was Dark's Medical version of the Faustus.
-
I have some suggestions for the name of this ship, Nitla (destruction), Ytztli (razor) or Youalli (night) :D they are Nahuatl words (nahuatl=language of the old aztecs) :D

[As Bill Clinton] How do you define Terran?

[As Bill Clinton] How do you define new textures?
These are actual questions. Please pinpoint the answers and feed them to me, especially with the textures.
My reason for these textures is that I made them this way on purpose. You see, this ship is supposed to be twice the size of the Ursa. With smaller textures, it will look crummy in FS2. These shots were taken in MODELVIEW32.

twice the size? :wtf:
IMO it looks 3/4 the size at best.

This thing is comparable in size with the GTB Jotun. I agree. Twice is an exaggeration, but it's definitely going to be bigger.
Planned Velocity: 60 m/s

BUMP!

How about the Adonis or the Cyrene?
-
Adonis.:yes:
Cyrene? Sounds like a type of plastic or some sort of detergent.:p
-
Cyrene was already used in the campaign anyway :doubt:
-
When? I don't remember it.
-
The NTD Cyrene was destroyed by the Colossus in its Offensive campaign in Sirius IIRC. I have it written down somewhere.
-
Ahh, it does ring a bell now. Thanks.
-
What about Adonis?

Terran = Angular and Mechanical looking
New textures means bigger and higher resolution, possibly 512x512 or larger. The current ones look like their about 64x64 or something. You could probably do as well leaving the default textures and removing the Alpha blending that HW used for team colors.
-
Go on! Make a 1280*1280 texture! :p
Model seems very pre-fs2. :)
-
GTXB Adonis
(What does the "X" mean?)
-
Xperimental?
-
Yo Rampage, if you're making this thing twice the size of the Urza, I hope you're givin it some high armor points. Otherwise it'll get blow to vapors before it can even launch it's payload.
PS. I'd give you a name for it but for some reason
:mad: EVERYBODY THINKS OF BETTER ONES THAN ME :hopping:

Not only is it great for any kind of mytho name you want, it's a great way to procrastinate homework and still improve your over all knowledge. :)
-
well i think my better suggestions for the name of this bomber is: GTB Ytztli or GTB Nitla or if someone think a good word for the bomber i try to translate to Nahuatl. :nod:
-
Well it would be good, but as the Game stadns, Terrans already have the Greek/Roman naming convention. Changing it to Mesoamerican would be odd to say the least.
Now if there was a new faction or race... (specifically a new, alien race. I think those names would be awesome for A new race because they are exotic and such)
-
Yeah best to stick to Greek/Roman for terran ships (although Norse also fits i.e Fenris).
-
Ok, i propose the names because some people says the bomber doesn't looks terran, but if i put a greek/roman name i think in GTB Aiacos or GTB Ancile;)
-
I would say that the armour points would be slightly improved than the Ursa, but the shield factor would be greatly improved. It means that you can't destroy it without a Kayser or a Circe.
I think the ship looks FINE. I'll lead HLP on a little secret: "I don't make textures; I use pre-made ones from Volition or from texture gurus like Venom and whatnot." I used the Artemis DH texture by Volition and Apollo DH texture compiled by Woomeister for this vessel. For Greek names, I'll probably name it from actual Greek words such as "schkizien" for "separation" or "kryptien" for "stealth".

GTXB Scipio (Roman general)
GTXB Pyrrhus (Greek general)

What's to stop you using the original HomeWorld name?
