Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: Raven2001 on August 22, 2003, 09:22:30 am: Ok, here's the GTVA Corvette that is going to be featured in Caught in the Middle, my project, it is 3800 polys (I know, but I have faith in the SCP team for improvements in this field, and I'm sure you all have :nod: )

Post by: StratComm on August 22, 2003, 09:30:20 am: Well, besides the fact that I never really liked any of the freelancer ship designs, (ok, so the Liberty Battleships are sort of cool, but that's beside the point) but the texture scheme fits overall. I'll give it a :yes:

Post by: Raven2001 on August 22, 2003, 09:37:29 am: Yeah, some of my GTVA capitals for CIM have some FL influences from liberty and a bit of Rheinland... when I show you the Destroyer (which by the way, is in its 3rd revision...), you will wish that the :jaw: smilie was still around :D
THe destroyer will look the most freelancerish, but still will have some of the FS feeling, like this corvette IMO

Post by: diamondgeezer on August 22, 2003, 09:49:52 am: It's ugly as hell and it looks like it's got some AT-AT in its ancestry. Tis good, mind :yes:
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: Bobboau on August 22, 2003, 09:50:15 am: it actualy looks like it'd make a realy good freighter :)

does it work in FSO? if not that needs to be taken care of

and that name has been taken alredy BTW, if you care
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: Raven2001 on August 22, 2003, 09:58:06 am: well... I don't try to convert my models yet... I'm waiting for further improvements of the code, you know... also, I dunno how to do it...

BTW, why is it that almost everybody suggests that my GTVA ships should be freighters?? They don't look like freighters to me but a battle hardened vessel (when turreted of course)?? I makes me sad that my ships look harmless :( (j/k)

DGeezer: what is ugly??? :confused:

Post by: Deepblue on August 22, 2003, 10:02:11 am: If you squint its like an upside down piller of autumn.
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: diamondgeezer on August 22, 2003, 10:04:49 am: Well it's big and lumpy. It's got a big hunch-back. So it's ugly. But then warships aren't designed to be asthetic, are they? It certainly looks buisness like. The height makes it seem quite imposing. Plenty of room for tasty broadside weapons too :)

You know what you ought to do, though - see that glowy yellow bit on the front? Turn that into a small hanger. Instant 1337ness :nod:

Post by: Rampage on August 22, 2003, 10:07:33 am: I like it... :nod:
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: TopAce on August 22, 2003, 10:09:14 am: I ask the question I am always asking: How long is it?
Otherwise it is a cool-looking ship. But if it is a freighter, why is it GTCv?
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: diamondgeezer on August 22, 2003, 10:14:47 am: And here was me thinking you were faking the whole engrish thing
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: IceFire on August 22, 2003, 10:45:01 am: Is that a Rhineland Battleship? :)

It looks quite good in FS2 scheme too tho.

Post by: Woolie Wool on August 22, 2003, 10:59:38 am: It's uglier than the Goatse man's ass, but I like it.:yes:

*Loves it
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: Raven2001 on August 22, 2003, 04:14:51 pm: Well... that's not a Rheinland Battleship, but the middle part has something to do with it (BTW in the destroyer you will say "is that a Liberty BS?? :D )

I'll be honest by saying that this wasn't the kind of feedback I expected... I'll change the front of the ship, and then show it to you :)
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: TrashMan on August 22, 2003, 04:21:55 pm: Model is excellent, texturing is superb.

Mind you, some will not like the design, but as they say - BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER.
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: Raven2001 on August 22, 2003, 04:29:16 pm: Yes, I know, but I wanna make a model that is beautiful in the eyes of the most beholders possible, you know :)

And I must confess I like the design a lot, but always felt that some of the front part wasn't "going along" with the rest... I'll look into it, tomorrow :)
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: Bobboau on August 22, 2003, 05:36:02 pm: I say it looks like a freighter becase it looks like it's nothing but engines and a big ole cargo pod on the back, if you did something else there is would look less freighterish.
though when I say it looks like a freighter, it looks like a very good freighter
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: mikhael on August 22, 2003, 05:46:07 pm: I like it, a lot. Probably one of the nicest mods I've seen.

I agree there. It really does look like it is designed for lugging huge amounts of stuff. Perfect for a freighter, me says. :):yes:

Post by: Zeronet on August 23, 2003, 06:43:48 am: Looks like a tough ship, that can take and dish out damage.
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: Havock on August 27, 2003, 02:24:45 pm: i think it would fit DEFINATLY as some sort of pirate-ship :)
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: Darkage on August 27, 2003, 02:30:45 pm: Looks like a capship verion of the humpback:D

It does look cool though:yes:

Or the GTVA finally decided to build a ship with sufficient armor to last a few heavy beam clashes :p

Bingo!!!

Anyways... I've drastically changed the front... I won't show it to you now, but one of these days, maybe I will :)

So you get an Idea, it makes the ship look longer, shorter, and gives a less boxy look to it :)
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: deep_eyes on August 28, 2003, 07:00:25 pm: dude whats the dimensions?! if the ship was say actually the size of a orion, that yellow spot in the front would be a ILL hanger subsystem section. overal i like it, but too rhienlandish, not too much originality in the "middle of the hull". the front and back look original (u get points for those!) aqnd the engines look good, but this shouldnt be more of a gunboat, or a heavier corvette (battleship type?)?

ARGH... you beat me...

Great model! :yes: :yes: :yes:
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: pyro-manic on August 28, 2003, 08:24:49 pm: That is a bloody cool-looking ship. It actually looks big, if that makes any sense. It looks massive and heavy, like it would take a hell of a beating to slow it down. Make it a destroyer....;7
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: phreak on August 28, 2003, 09:35:54 pm: like it! :yes:

i've always liked the rheinland capship design
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: Raven2001 on September 03, 2003, 02:36:47 am: Sorry dudes... it ain't be a destroyer... and as I said, the front is drastically changed
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: gevatter Lars on September 03, 2003, 05:18:53 am: The ship lookes like a ripoff the Freelancer Reinland ship with just other textures.
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: Knight Templar on September 03, 2003, 08:57:43 pm: Similar with the back, yeah. Rip-off, not really.
Title: GTCv Ceres
Post by: Bri_Dog on September 03, 2003, 09:32:35 pm: Cool ship :yes:

In my opinion it doesn't look military enough....I can't quit put my finger on why though...
