Title: Jutland class fleet attack carrier
Post by: gevatter Lars on December 04, 2003, 02:24:53 am: Here's our Juland fleet attack carrier. This is no l33t fanboy ship(other than thats a spaceship fighting evil aliens) that we pulled out of our collective asses, it originates from the WC canon, where this class has been mentioned several times but was never depicted. This is just our interpretation of how it could look like, but that should work until Origin decides to make another WC game and give us an official model of it.

Credits go to psych for gathering all the information about it, providing guidlines and the concept art. The model and the texture job are part of my crimes.

Length is still being debated but it's around 750-800 meter range. Armament is the modernized “WC3” loadout: 2 Anti-Matter Turrets, 2 IFF Missile Turrets, and 10 Laser Turrets. Its original trio of flak cannons were replaced by missile turrets and lasers. Complement is 90 aircraft.

Some minor things like texture details maybe gonna be changed during conversion, but it's almost combat ready.

And yes, before someone states the obvious. We know it doesn't have turrets yet. They are gonna be added by someone else.

PS: This pics have been shown at the Wing Commander Forum too, but I thought that this is such a good piece of work that more people should see it than just the few WC-people.

Post by: Nico on December 04, 2003, 01:55:54 pm: You'll make me very angry if you don't put a plunkett in WC Saga, be warned :p
Title: Jutland class fleet attack carrier
Post by: Lynx on December 04, 2003, 02:10:06 pm: You won't see a Plunlett unless it travels back to the time where our campaigns take place. But thats not Star Trek, so even the stupidest technobabble wouldn't work. :p

The model may be included later, but tas said, we don't have any plans for WCP/SO models right now. But the SCP guys should implement moving ship segments. When the time come, the ship would only look half as good with fixed engines instead of omnidirectional engine pods:cool:

the Plunkett is the big ass cruiser from Secret Ops. It's ugly as hell, but, don't ask why, I just love that thing.

anywya, yes, Mike, that's that ship you tried to link to.

Mea maxima culpa...if thats written right.

Yes I have just copied the text ... in the hast I forgot to mention that you have made it...I am very sorry for that.

Now about the WCP SO topic..as Lynx says at the moment we are doing the older Timelines beginning with WC2+3+4...later there will be WC1 ships also.
If all that is finished we will see if we still have the time to workout the WCP / SO ships.

About the Plunkett...yes its quite ugly, but I also liked it very much....and it has taken a major roll when I designed this baby for a Wing Commander RPG group that wanted a new ship that would be a newer version of the Waterloo-design-philosophy....a cruiser-carrier-mix.

I present to you the MSS Light of Murada

The weapon loadout is a little bit overloaded, cause the Light of Murada is a modified ship of its class with additional firepower...also the first one of its class.

Post by: Nico on December 04, 2003, 06:05:05 pm: yeah, I remember that ship.
Title: Jutland class fleet attack carrier
Post by: mikhael on December 04, 2003, 06:42:52 pm: Holy ****!

I like the Light of Murada. That's one of those that just begs for more details and sweet textures. :D
Title: Jutland class fleet attack carrier
Post by: Fineus on December 04, 2003, 06:56:18 pm: Agreed, very sweet indeed... put it into FS! ;)
Title: Jutland class fleet attack carrier
Post by: IceFire on December 04, 2003, 10:34:02 pm: Wow....I always liked the Waterloo. Thats really awesome as well!

What kind of additional details do you mean?

Post by: TrashMan on December 05, 2003, 10:08:36 am: Lars, you rule!

*ahem...how's it going with the Lancer? Or the other one..?*
Title: Jutland class fleet attack carrier
Post by: gevatter Lars on December 05, 2003, 05:32:53 pm: @Trashman:

I think with Lancer you mean the model I gave you a loooong time ago...well I haven't done anything about that, cause I am quite happy if I can do 1 model in 2-3 weeks...and even then they need rework.
At the moment I am full with school projects consuming nearly my entire week...so when I have some sparetime left I work on the WC Saga model.
I hope you understand that....when I will ever get more freetime I will work on the other stuff ok?
