Title: destroyer wip
Post by: boewolf on May 19, 2005, 05:29:08 am
Been playing while I had a lot of offline time.  But I was wondering of what many of you thought of this for a basic design.

Looks pretty good so far, and it really keeps with the GTVA's tradition of making ships that look like Guns (a Colossal sized Shotty anyone? :p)

Will the End have a big beam on?

P.S. Raa, get ready to start deleting posts, that model just asks for them.

:wtf: @ kie...

It looks a little too much like a gun, a cannon specifically or something from the techroom.  That's a decent place to go with this, by the way; I just don't see the destroyer working as well as you may expect it to.

That looks so much like the Odin is just plain suspicious.

Oooh. it'd look pretty cool if you you extruded the parts that are currently sticking out the most on the sides and made them into engines.

Since when do ships that look like guns have to be guns? What's wrong with ships that look like cylinders? Cylinders are some of the strongest shapes we've got, stronger than boxes especially.

Reminds me @ first glance of The Probe from Star Trek: The Voyage Home, only way cooler.

It's the Odin but not as good.

Hm, reminds me of a lightsaber only with pointy bits on the handle. Looks like a gunboat to me...

The cylender will only be strong when it takes on pressure from the whole end, so in the case of this ship, mabye it would be good for ramming

This made me think of the ML-16. When's somebody going to get around to rendering High-poly ingame guns? *ducks*

I was thinking that it looked like the Avenger.

Yeah, a bit more the Avenger, but eh. I'm partial to the first weapon I used in FS, so that was the first thing that jumped in my mind.

No.  But it will have a few missile and flak guns.

Heh.. now all you have to do is implement it.

Hey, cool. You could use that one day and slap it onto a hi-poly Apollo or something... CG would look great homing in on the barrels and stuff. :yes:

Oh yeah, by the way.... I love the filename. "Acenger1."

I got no intention on using that Avenger.  If anyone wants it let me know.

it looks like something youd see he player carrying in an fps game. i stopped doing 'giant beam' ships in favor of 'giant gatling gun' ships :D

as for your avenger, put a skin on it and add it to the media vp as a tech model. im sure there are those who would benifit from modeling freespace's weapons for vwep support as well as 3d interface.

Actually, that destroyer design could be have a "artillery" role (like the Apothess from Inferno).

It's good, though not particularly original in it's concept. It could use more detail and structure along it's length, as it looks like a huge tube at the moment. Some length-wise beams (as in supports) and some ribs would be a start. More superstructure is needed, as well.

Well you don't want to see the texturing on that Avenger cannon.  If anyone else wants it a download like is here (http://glenton.customer.netspace.net.au/download/avenger1.scn)
