Damn, slow down!  

Very nice by the way, I like the Echeleon muy much.

The Echelon is Excellent.  The others are quite good too.

It was supposed to be a .. how do you say it when there are 6 things? Is here a wrod?

Anway, I waited with these two since HC didn't have a civilain category. They still don't have it so I put them under Terran Transports. Hope these two items will be moved later on.

for now enjoy!


SPLENDID civilian liner:


MAJESTIC luxury civilian liner:


Damn..Imageshack is acting up again. I?ll put puctures later

Imagshack is unacessible..darn it!

Well, I just submitted a large weapon pack to HC (weapons.tbl + tons of effect(most I didn't even use) and 3 missile models)

I'll see if I can get some screenshoots here somehow....

I'm going to agree with everyone here. The Echelon is excellent, as well as the QoS. The Galaxy looks a lot like the ships I write about in my scifi stories, and I like that. :yes:

All ships are now availabe at Hades Combine :D

@Kitoftheworld - what dialogue?
Title: Triple (actualyl quadripple release!)
Post by: Nuclear1 on August 15, 2005, 07:15:58 pm
I believe he's referring to the dialogue in one of the screenshots with the luxury vessels (i.e. "Yes Ma'am")
Title: Triple (actualyl quadripple release!)
Post by: TrashMan on August 16, 2005, 05:26:02 am
Oh that!

Those screenies afre from the campaign I'm making. Since I had the older civ liners set up in those mission I dodn't need to make a new mission to test them... the newer model overwrites the old one.

And there's a lot of pilot chatter like that.. my campaign is squad-based so you'll get to know youw wingmen good.
Title: Triple (actualyl quadripple release!)
Post by: TrashMan on August 16, 2005, 04:49:00 pm
and...anotehr thing added to HC..

This time it's a Mining Station.
With 2 dock points, 2 hangarbays and 10 turrets :D

Not even bad ones?

I'm utterly dissapointed. :(

I like the Echelon and the Copernicus a lot, and the mining station rocks. :yes: The liners are a bit... dull, I think. I dunno, perhaps too many straight rows of windows. But cool nonetheless. Nice work. :)

The liners (got them from your sig awhile back) look really funny with specmapping on...they practically light on fire.

Actually, if you look closely and compare to the original, it's actually not a Typhon, but something similar, and heavier.

You mean, you like it because it fits in with your Ferrium universe's ship design parameters, right? ;)
Title: Triple (actualyl quadripple release!)
Post by: Kazan on August 18, 2005, 07:22:10 pm
TP: it's close - it's to have some more 'hard' edges - maybe stair-step some of those curves, add some more protrusions: attenae, etc.

Would the extra pair be on the ventral, just back from the "head" area?

I'm thinking it needs someting on the dorsal, just between the arms.  Perhaps, you could add another "/\" spoiler, though smaller than the rear one?

A more modern version of the old..

For the Rise of the Sith mod for KOTOR2.. They'll be mostly usend in animations, but some you'll see in-game too:D
And since the mod takes place about 130 years after the fall of the empire, some new ships were required.

Below the head like-thing..where those two tube-like things are, yes.

Yes, teI have to work on the back end.. a bit too thin in that area..
another spoiler might work..I?ll give ti a shot and see how it looks:D

Regarding the Typhon-Demon thing, I'd suggest adding three or four spoilers to the dorsal. A small one at the neck and a few of them sucessivley getting bigger the further you go back.

I'd also eliminate that forward sweeping part in the midsection that makes it look too much like an animal.

The animal's what makes it meancing, though!

And that many spoilers would play hell with trying to turret the thing. FOV disaster.

Benn busy with Ferrium models lately and the SDf-1 so I haven't touched this one.

Still not sure how to handle it, but will see:D

After some rigorous testing I found two smaller mistakes.

50000 Hp was too little for this beheemoth, since it's well over 1000m. Set to 80000..

Some cargo dockpoint were a bit too close which caused interesection between smaller cargo containers. Now fixed to a milimeter precision.

re-uploaded the file.

It could pass for a military research facility.  It wouldn't mount much in the way of heavy weaponry, but it would be well defended by cruisers and corvettes.  That clamp on the side would be a construction yard of some kind for an experimental ship class or something.

Something that goes in Ferrium I guess, since it matches your other ships you made for it.

I was giving this one a whirl and encountered some problems.  Every ship I've tried to dock to the forward port or starboard docking ports, refuse to align properly in FRED.  If I dock them together, and then drag the freighter around the grid, the docked ship will spin around on the dockpoint like a propeller.  Sometimes it will even re-orient itself to partway along the side of the ship.  Its realy weird.
