Title: Icanus Upgrade WIP

This is a shot of a WIP upgrade model of the Icanus. This one is 6215 polygons and has 123 turrets.

So far it seems to be working fine with just turret pof data. I'm hoping there will be no problems when using it with full pof data in actual missions.

Nice, but some textures could do some tweaking, or is it the jpg compression? They look somewhat weird.

The new version also has twin forward 200m railguns for dealing with targets too small to engage with the Really Big Gun. :)

That gun is rather dangerous too!!
I've seen it take down three Sathanas in three shots...

Not trying to take attention off the extremely cool looking Icanus, what is that fighter you're flying?

Hehe, it'll melt through a Sathanas in well under 2 seconds. :)

The railguns are more effective against everything below juggernaughts, they can take down a destroyer fleet in far less time than the Really Big Gun or the side beams could.

Are they ...turret mounted? If so :D.

After a second look, the BIG GUN needs...something.  It looks like a brick somebody taped to the side of a Bad@$$ ship.

Turret mounted yes, but not on rotating ones.

that's becuase it IS a brick someone taped onto the side of a bad@$$ ship! :lol: This brick just so happens to have a giant death ray poking out of one end :drevil:

BTW, did anyone notice that issue where in the targeting box, and when far away from the Icanus in game, the "brick" part of the ship (the BIG GUN) would become invisible.

That's because the cannon isn't in the lower lods. It is in this version.

Maybe you can cut this giant cannon and made a a giant sentry gun like Mjolnir :drevil: :devil:

Would make more sense, a one of these babies and some standard mjolinirs with dedicated carrier/cruiser support would be nearly unbeatable.

simply point it at the nearest jump node.

anything that -tries- to come through is toat.

btw, i just saw that green-black hole thingy weapon of the icanus in action against the gigas.

i put em against each other in a fred mission and the Icanus owned the Gigas like:
Gigas dead: icanus 55%.
Gigas junjk hit Icanus -> 20% or something, awful lot of damage :p

Until some veteran interceptors flew in and disabled the turrets.

That would do the trick:nod:...though the Gargant would probably break through.
