could anyone create an orion with a fighterbay on both sides instead of just one for a campaign i am developing. anyone who could help me please post here.
-
:welcome:
Firstly, welcome to HLP, though I see you've been registered for quite some time now. ;) If I understand right this might take some remodeling - what purpose did you have in mind?
-
the story is, the campaign is set a little after freespace 2. the gtva fleet is badly damaged so old ships are being modified to keep them in service after there expected lifetime. one of these is to convert the old orions into carriers with minimal anti-ship weapons, providing fighters to support the fleet the carrier is assigned to.
most of the refitted ships will be done with table edits, but i thought it would look cool to have a new model for this ship as it will play a significant role in the campaign, and it will be the ship the player is assigned to.
...and yes i have been regestered for a while and have been checking the forums for useful tips. i started messing about with fred a year or two ago. i have done quite a few missions to learn how to use the features of fred2, and some of these will be included in the campaign i am now working on.
-
Redesigning the Orion for twinned hangar decks would be simple, mesh-wise, but a nightmare texture-wise. I could throw together the mesh and LOD it, but you'd have to find someone else to handle texturing and conversion.
So, in short: if you can line up someone to do the textures, paths, conversions and tabling, I'll do your mesh.
-
anyone know the status of the orion upgrade that was on that one guy's site?
-
You mean the one with the giant beam revolver? :D

[Neo Voice]Whoa![/Neo Voice]
Back on topic however, this Orion advanced doesn't have twin fighter ramps. That Fenris/Leviathan upgrade design looks cool... and useful... humm........ ;)
Later
-
NM no it doesn't. I thought it did.
-
The redesign looks great except the front gun.. which just looks silly :)
-
:welcome:
-
Hey, has anyone tried to get that guy over here? He seems to still be active...
-
I'm sure i remember a twin-bayed Orion from ages ago............ not sure if it was a mod or just for a render, though.
-
Had an hour to spare:

(http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/inferno/orionrefit02.jpg)
This what you want?
It's currently a complete POF with all POF data except for the fighterbay paths, the rest of the paths are done though.
Oh and it's 2006 polys for the main lod (turreted) I split the mesh up so it doesn't require HT&L.
-
i looks well cool. thnx. exactly what i wanted as far as i can tell from the screen shots. i will pm you my e-mail so you can send me the files. one small thing which would be useful would be a name-plate "GTCa Hunter" to go on it

I don't suppose you'd put that up for general release would you? I'd love a copy myself :)
-
Me too!
-
schweet
-
Jeebus Woo - that's the Second TI ship upgrade you've "copied" (IE. we (Well, VA) did it first, in secret, and you came up with the same idea later, independently).
Bastard :p
-
The moment Hamano releases the POF for the Herc Mk3, I will do a high poly version of it.
-
The Orion MK2 would be sweet as a T-V War era carrier, since the design fits the timeline very well. You should consider donating it to the campaign, it would make it that much better..
Oh and, I don't like the Herc MK3, it looks too much like a modern fighter-jet.
-
Since I've has quite a few requests for it:
http://www.fileplanet.com/dl.aspx?/3dactionplanet/hlp/hosted/inferno/orionrefit.zip
I've included an edited Orion table which should get everything working.
-
Schweet! Cheers!

EDIT: HOLY CRAP HE UPDATED THE HERC MK. III
:eek:
-
That's it, I'm mailing this guy. :)
-
as you can see japanese does everything better;)
-
i have downloaded the ship and it seems perfect. i hope to have a website for the campaign up soon, in the meantime this is its status:
mods: 80% done
story: 100% done
missions: 5% done
i intend on releasing the first of three section around christmas (although this may be moved back). section 1 will be 7 or 8 missions

Great job Woo, and thanks for posting it. I haven't had a chance to give it a try in-mission yet, but I have seen a minor problem. They position of the centre spike at the forward underside blocks the approach path to the dockpoint. The only thing I can think of is to move the dockpoint, to say the side or on the dorsal.
On a similar note, now that we've got this souped-up Orion, now we need a lighter version with no figther ramps (so a mirror of the opposite side) but a bay added on the belly... no ramps. It could possibly be for the later portions of the TVWP when they want a greater diversity of capital ships for the GTA. This paragraph wasn't a serious request, but more of a comical suggestion.
Later!

I'd like to comment on that, but I'm too busy listening to Gackt Camui (sp?) ATM...

That Herc Mk. III looks very interceptor-ish....

I believe the TVWP has something like that...

i like the GTC TICONDEROGA - very nice
-
That Herc Mk III looks like a Super Sylph from Yukikaze. Weird.

I did the paths quickly as I had another shp to do, moving the path should simply fix that. The docking point itself is in the same position as the Orions.

Let's hope he pays extra attention to the both of us. ;)
-
Yeah, Hamano is pretty cool--and he almost always writes back and promptly.
-
I was just finished doing the basic model of my own two-bayd Orion! Dang! You have beaten me to it!
*shouldn't have played Temple of elemental Evil so much!*
Oh wel... I'm gonna try something different and make an Orion MK3!
-
How about making a similarly proportioned and shaped vessel but with sides of the hull that are sloped by, say 30 degrees, rather than being completely vertical. Be sure to retain the twin fighterbays and widen the aft hull to allow two more engines to be mounted in low on the hull. Make each engine its own subsystem. I've got other visual changes in mind, but I can't seem to put them into non-confusing words. Good luck!

My Orion will have 4 angines and 2 fighterbays + more weapons...will post pics..later

Ah, sweet. You've got mail!
[q]Thank you for visiting my site.
And thank you for information about HLP.
I wonder whether my English skill is enough, because I am non-native.
Anyway, I will try to join.
Thank you,

Hello,
This is Hamano from Japan.
I have done making Herc3, this will be uploaded soon.
I am very grad so many people discussing my Orion Phase 2.
I will start again making the rest parts of Orion Phase 2.
Thanks!
-
OMG IT'S HAMANO!:eek:
:welcome:
-
Your Gattling Orion is REALLY original, (even if I understand how people may not like it!)
It is VERY rare that so many people praise someone who isn't even on the board yet. I fully agree with them, given the quality of your work.
Welcome, indeed!
-
I can only echo the above - welcome to the boards, your work is exceptional. I hope you enjoy it here!

Poor grammer, but the sentence structure seems to be thought out, and it is extremely readable (unlike some people around here lately:D ). Don't worry about it Hamano.:)

Heh, you made it. :) Welcome dude, hope you stick around! Make sure you post a new thread with your own work - even the stuff you've made a while ago - some people here haven't seen all of the awesome stuff you've got over at FS for FS. :yes:

Welcome Hamano:)

Come on guys, haven't you welcome beamed him enough? :D Simple text welcomes are enough...
Welcome to HLP, Hamano... Your Orion phase 2 looks wicked! :)
-
Let the record show that I refrained from giving in to the urge. :D

I have only used it once... And may never again.

Really??? :doubt: :rolleyes: ;) Besides, I was just joking guys... Couldn't you tell? :)

Thank you everyone!
I'm very happy so many people fired welcome beams!
