Post by: TrashMan on September 20, 2003, 12:23:29 pm
Here's the DOTA Pirate Assault transport.

Used to quickly disabe freighters and liners and pillage them. It's fast, well armoured, with a large troop/cargo capacity.
Armemament include:
4x2 Pirate disruptor Cannons
8 Prometheus S turrets
1 Pirate-HAAf

Give that to the TVWP people, they could put it to good use.

I stand by my belief that anything smaller than a cruiser (and even them in some cases) should either be UV mapped in Lith, or at the very least use textures that make it seem UVMapped.

Nice, but way too powerful.

Let's be realistic - no transport should outclass a light cruiser (Fenris?) in terms of firepower.

And this one... It's more like a heavy strike cruiser minus beams.

Indeed we could modify it with a few more turrets and make a battleship (maybe a destroy minus the fighterbay) out of it.:D

Replace the blueish textures to greyish ones.
The ship geometry is the style I like: Typical example where polycount doesn't count. ;)

Well.... disruptor cannons are designed more to disable than to destroy, alltough they pack a decent punch either way..
The Pirate-HAAf is a heavily modefyed AAAf, that' bigger, meaner and designed for capships, not fighters (100 damage)

*I was downlodaing that song for my big syster.... And I kinda like it...
Or would you rather prefer to see "Escaflowne-..." on every screnshot?

EDIT: The ships is allmost as long as a cruiser - it's an Assault Transport! Pirates tent to be brutal and well armed...

No further comments? Has anyone actually downloaded it?:nervous:

4x2 Pirate disruptor Cannons
8 Prometheus S turrets
1 Pirate-HAAf

Like I said - way, way too powerful.

Disruptor cannons are OK, but you shold name this transport differently. A "Disruptor Transport" maybe? Or sth...

8 Prometheus S turrets - now that's the whole point. Too much firepower. Reduce the number of turrets to 4 and rearm them with 2 Terran Turrets and 2 Weak Flak Cannons.

The HAAf is OK.

That makes it a "Heavy Disruptor Transport" - still far more powerful than any other transport, but at least weaker that a strike cruiser. ;)

It can't stand against a cruiser, even the Fenris.

The Fenris has a stronger hull (15000 opposed to 10000 of this 245m long transport), more powerfull beam with better range, and has a Fusion Mortar & other Terran Turrets (all modifyed, so now it packs a even meaner punch.) Alltough it can outrun him every time. (50m/s)

Hmmm.. I put the attack transport in game and i`ve found a problem with the multi part turrets..

Turret base data is set to Z axis, so the turrets stay stationary and will not move when firing on a target.

The turret base should be set to Y axis and the turret arms set to X axis..

The turrets worked perfect after these changes were made..

Just thought i`d let you know so the pof can be updated.

Cheers

(edit) Nice model Trashman :D

Ups...didn't notice that....Hmm....

The stange thing is, I copy/pasted the multi-part turrets from a V ship. Will have to correct that.

EDIT: Soltar, you sure you want tit? I can send you the scn.

  Erm, since when did a Fenris have 15000 hull? The Fenris has 10000 hull in FS2 and 8000 in FS1
Title: DOTA Pirate Assault Transport (for download)
Post by: TrashMan on September 28, 2003, 05:43:45 am
I think it was 10000...I better doublecheck...

Anyway, I did test it against a Fenris....It didn't last long...

AGAIN: Soltar, you want the model?

Post by: TopAce on September 28, 2003, 08:08:04 am
The Fenris IS 10,000.

...and 8000 in FS1


What are you talking about? It is 10,000 in FS1, too.
Why would [V] increase the hitpoints of an obsolete light cruiser? :confused:

hull upgrade? US Navy upgrades obsolete ships all the time thats commonplace practice :p

The pirates would probably travel in groups, so I wouldn`t be suprised to see groups of 4 assualt transports together, with, say 3 wing fighter support, now that would turn the tables on a fenris cruiser, I think.

Have I told it is stronger than it? That was not me, I just mentioned that somebody found it stronger than a light cruiser.
