Title: Need for small capital ships
Post by: Wanderer on March 22, 2005, 09:26:07 am: I am trying to build a setting for some future missions or campaings. It is going to be somewhat 'frontier' setting where small capital ships, even smaller than normal cruisers would do well. I have already (perhaps scavenger could be the word) acquired reskinned satis and vasudan freighter from inferno that could do well as 'patrol craft' as well as preatorian (really good one) from trashman's collection. So if any has has any spare models lying on their HDs or CDs those would be welcome.

Most designs i have come across suffer from the 'supercapitalship/supership syndrome' and are usually far too large for my needs. As i am not too good with 3D modelling programs (done only some pow-ray stuff and i really don't have enough time to learn anything else) i really could do with some models (preferably with working textures and paths). I have been forced to use retail FS2 as for some reason SCP (current build) is too unstable.

And yes, i am quite new with FRED2 (done something for FS1 and for old XvT though) and no, i don't guarentee that i will ever finish any campaings as my studies tend to keep me busy.

That, believe it or not, is one I still like (a bit). IMO it was quite a neat concept, I'm not sure anyone ever used it (in that way) though.

Mainly cos I'm slightly pissed off at the TVW for reskinning it in Orion textures

(sorry about the lack of piccies here - I recommend the Orc, it's a bit like a baby Deimos)

I really, really need to sort out my downloads sometime.....
