Title: A good new fighter?
Post by: Mad Bomber on October 04, 2004, 10:43:38 am: I kinda feel like something's missing in the fighter department of HFH (which, to be frank, is rather light on the fighters, and very heavy on the cruisers), and I wanted to add another good general-use fighter (Terran, preferably) to the mix before I VP'ed up the whole mod package and got some FREDers. ;)

Anyone got suggestions? I've seen a lot of the stuff out there, and none of it really fits the kind of style I'm looking for (except the GVF Shu, which I'm planning/hoping to use).

The other thing is, I have a Fenris-derived model in the MOD, the GTC Peleus class. The model is fine (Thankies Jabu and Fulgrymm) but it's the skin I'm worried about; a lot of the skinning on it is rather plain and grey, especially on the midsection and front-underside.

Screenie from Modelview is forthcoming.

Edit; see 'Donar' in 'more' in my siggy. All models there should be retail-friendly.

Heroes For Hire, my campaign-in-progress. The idea is, you're a space mercenary with Redstar Mercs Inc. (the second-largest merc unit in known space, after Eagle Security Services) and, in the midst of hunting down a very large piracy problem in Adhara, you find yourself in a lot more trouble than anyone predicted.

Lots of action, lots of intrigue, lots of realism. The first mission is already about 75% done. :cool:

The two things there aren't a lot of, are those fancy guns you're used to using (You'll use Prom-R's and like it! :drevil: ) and Shivans, who will be absent from HFH.

Edit: Donar is a BIG fighter, and as I said, it doesn't really fit the style I'm looking for. Neither do the Claymores or the Vesuvius. But thanks for the suggestion :)

I'd use the Kulas if it were less piratey in its skinning...

I can't actually remember any decent fighters other than the Donar, to be honest. There was the Claymore HTL, but I somehow managed to lose the pof & lods.... all i have left is the 3ds model on my website.

Post by: TrashMan on October 04, 2004, 04:38:47 pm: Some neat stuff there Aldo... Mind if I use a thing or two for my campaign project?

Allso, does nayone know hat happened to that Hercules/Loki hybrid? The ship that looked like it was pasted together from spare parts of both fighters?

With the new 3ds plugin in the testing phase some of the 3Ds people may love to sharp their conversion skills on that model.

Just my 2 cents.

Flipper and Kisou?
Title: A good new fighter?
Post by: Taristin on October 04, 2004, 05:04:52 pm: Ja.

Basically. But I doubt you'll let anyone see Flipper... For a little while atleast... (Hopefully you finish whatever it is you're using it for, 'cuz I dun like working for dead projects :p )

Post by: Night Hammer on October 04, 2004, 05:12:30 pm: They call him Flipper! Flipper....**continues song**:p

What, the TRF Capson or whatever it was called? I remember seeing that somewhere, for some campaign that never got finished (IIRC it was on Ross128... that was a LONG time ago.)

Peleus texture issue moved to another thread.

Post by: TrashMan on October 06, 2004, 02:27:18 am: Yeah, I belive that was it...

It looked you you cut a Herc and a Loki in half, and just pasted the two bits together..

It would work PERFECTLY for the campaign I'm planning...

Title: A good new fighter?
Post by: Mad Bomber on October 06, 2004, 09:08:39 am: (sees 2 reskins, an easily-done POF edit that's been around since forever, and the old version of Aldo's Claymore)

Again, I'm looking for a general-use Terran space superiority fighter that isn't the Vesuvius, Myrmidon, Ulysses, or Apollo.

(No offense to Aldo but the Vesuvius is really not the style of fighter model I'm looking for... its stats would be great, but it's just too tall and unwieldy-looking.)

Post by: magatsu1 on October 06, 2004, 09:12:10 am: Don't fight it. Use the Apollo. It hurts less if you don't resist. :D

Post by: Trivial Psychic on October 06, 2004, 09:02:27 pm: Woo linked this (http://www.fileplanet.com/dl.aspx?/3dactionplanet/hlp/hosted/inferno/apollo2.zip) one for me from the Inferno archives. The mapping isn't all that great (especially on the nose tip) but it might do the trick.
