Title: If you could........
Post by: Gai Daigoji on February 12, 2005, 04:44:03 pm: If you could have any vehicle from any show turned into a fighter for Freespace 2, which would it be?

Mine would be the Gekigangar robot from Martian Successor Nadesico. Would be so cool to fly that! :D

Somebody make a TF conversion for FS2

Post by: T-Man on February 12, 2005, 05:18:08 pm: Jehuty from Zone of the Enders 2...with Zero Shift and all the other subweapons.

The Shivans wouldn't know what hit 'em! :thepimp:

Post by: NGTM-1R on February 12, 2005, 05:17:59 pm: OZ-11SMS Taurus, from Gundam Wing.

Either that, or my tricked-out Mod Starbridge from Escape Velocity: Nova. I'd say my Polaris Raven...but that's not really a fighter. And it would be cruel and unusual punishment for any Shivans I ran across.

TF? I'm taking a wild stab at the T being Transformers cause those names would fit but I'm confused as to the F.

Yes, Transformers, TF.. Why confused? The 'initials' are used in the comic book too :)

*checks*

Yep :p

Post by: karajorma on February 12, 2005, 05:51:15 pm: Ah. I thought this was something like TA for Transformers Armada or something which I'd missed. I pretty much ignored Transformers since after Beast Wars/Beast Machines :)

Anyway enough derailing from me. :)

Personally I'd fly FOE-54 from an Amiga game called Warhead. Pretty much ****s on any other space fighter I've ever seen. Fast, manouverable and carrying missiles with a 5km blast radius :D

Post by: Setekh on February 12, 2005, 06:07:26 pm: Yeah, having the Optimus Prime semitrailer would be pretty funny. Right next to the Volition Bravos, it'd fit perfectly. ;)

No joke! Wipe out an entire wing seconds! I'm with you all the way on this one. Although I bet the SCP for Zero Shift would be confusing as all hell.

Post by: Mongoose on February 13, 2005, 12:37:12 am: Someone's already done the Descent 3 ships, methinks, although I was never able to get them to work in-game. They forgot the best ship of all time, though: the Pyro-GX. :D I also require Descent-like physics, but that might be stretching things. :p

Another one I've heard mentioned in the past is the Planet Express ship from Futurama. I wouldn't mind seeing the Heart of Gold, myself. :D

Post by: Kie99 on February 13, 2005, 05:47:58 am: The Original Post never specified fighers, in which case I would choose a Death Star. :D

Post by: NGTM-1R on February 13, 2005, 06:00:59 am: The original post did specify "turned into a fighter", though... So if you want a Death Star the size of an Ursa, okay, you do that...

Post by: Mongoose on February 28, 2005, 01:51:43 am: Another one I just thought of while watching Independence Day tonight (w00t for Petrarch! :p): the alien fighters. Heck, if anyone felt up to making a massive model several kilometers across, you could even create the city destroyers. Also, and this might already exist, I wouldn't say no to a nice looking Enterprise NX-01 model. :D

Post by: comic on February 28, 2005, 12:23:48 pm: I think the drone ship from macross plus is seriously cool ...

but for shier comedy value how about a White ford van, as everyone knows nothing can stand against the stupidity of white van man!

i think they're a bit underpowered compared to a guy with a rocket launcher, so anything with nuclear missiles may totally destroy it. Not that i have a problem in seeing those combine gunships getting blown to pieces.
Title: If you could........
Post by: Carl on March 01, 2005, 12:22:42 am: then how about a combine dropship instead? they're indestructable.

but, they have no weapons either.

I think the dropship from Alien 2 would be great...

Post by: SadisticSid on March 04, 2005, 12:02:11 pm: It's a space Mobile Armor from Gundam 0083, mounting over a dozen particle beam cannons and a 360 degree beam-deflector shield... and lots of remote controlled weapons that allow it to attack from multiple vectors. It's one of those fleet-killer weapons :)

Already been done, but it gets owned because it doesn't have any shields.

BTW there's no Alien 2, there's Alien:yes::yes:, Aliens:yes::yes::yes:, Alien 3:blah:, Alien Ressurection:no::no: and Alien Vs. Predator:no:

EDIT: to get it do a SEARCH (http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/forums/search.php)

That's gotta be one of the dumbest names in Sci-Fi history.
It's german for "New target", plus a grammatical error.

I want one! :D I'll have to see if I can find that show to see what it does...

Post by: MicroPsycho on March 05, 2005, 06:29:18 pm: 1. The "Urban Assault Vehicle" from Stripes (i think that's it), its an overglorified RV!

2. The cruisers/battleships from Starship Troopers

3. The massive space maid from Spaceballs

4....a person

Post by: WeatherOp on March 05, 2005, 06:50:07 pm: Just an F-15, 4 Aim-9 "Sidewinders" 6 Aim-120 "Amarams" and a M-61A2 "Vulcan Cannon" with 600 rounds of 20mm ammo. It wouldn't fly in space, but it would be nice to stare at.:D

I'm going to guess, having not seen the show in some time, that it gets destroyed by a much smaller and in every way inferior craft, like most Mobile Armors do.

I really do want that Taurus...perhaps I'll try to model it again. The Mod Starbridge is beyond my skill level, though.

Damn. I wanted one, too.

...Actually, tho, an EV-Nova mod would be pretty fun. Flying around in a Va Thamgiir Auroran Firebird, shooting gatling guns and Radar missiles at Federation fighters...

...and then getting owned completely by a Polarian Manta in about three seconds. :P

Harr.

Goddamn the Polaris are too powerful. Even the Vell-Os have practically no chance against their more massive behemoths (it's been a while since I last played it, though...). Aurorans... meh. Federation is just your generic Terran alliance. Vell-Os rlz.
