The Terran Defence Gunship Termite.

"The TDGS Termite was one of the first ships invented to keep control in the chaotic years after Sol was cut off from the GTA. It was cheap to build, fast and maneuvrable and had enough firepower to protect the weakened terran civilisation from pirates, terrorists and other threats. Only few Termites are still in service of the Terran Defence Force, but the terroristic force "Fighters for Independent Sol" uses several ships of this class. Some of their Termites even seem to be new build ships."

It's not a beauty, and a single one of them is not really a threat, but having five or six Termites defending a convoy gives you good chances that the convoy will arrive it's destination in one piece.

Armament is four laser turrets, each equipped with two Terran Turret Weak, one S-AAA-Weak beam turret, and a missile launcher, armed with Quake missiles, a special issue weapon that does very low damage, but creates a shockwave that will throw a fighter around like a toy ship, making it nearly impossible to fly straight forward long enough for a missile lock. (...Uhm, was that really ONE SENTENCE???)

It's still missing docking points and paths, but otherwise it is fully operational  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Not bad... not bad...

but one question... How in the world do you use a grey aiming reticle?!?! You can't even see that next to a ship!  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Retexture it darker, it's too bright for the FS universe. Otherwise, good...

Sweet ship!  The Quake Torpedo is also a very creative and cool idea  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Nice model, although you might want to vary the textures a bit (sorry to be critical).  Otherwise, keep up the good work.

It's a Sol, not a GTVA ship, so, different place, different beam color.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

How many different AAA beam colors are there in FS2?  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)


I was too lazy to make a new beam.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
