Yay, twin releases. Everything is Lodded and has debris. The only thing they don't have are shine maps with a working alpha channel. I just blacked it so they wouldn't be mirrors. That'll be some update later on.
GTC Cretheus
The GTC Cretheus is a new light cruiser, designed primarily for escorting convoys and vunerable ships. With 8 dual flak cannons, it is capable of taking care of most fighter or bomber threats. Its two powerful engines allow it to keep up with any transport ship and almost match speeds with heavier fighters. When faced with a capital ship threat however, the Cretheus' only advantage is its small size and speed. Without any beam cannons and only light armor, the Cretheus must rely on heavier cruisers for survival. Cretheus Cruisers are typically in groups of two or three so that their spread of flak can cover more area.

SC Lamia
The SC Lamia is a newly discovered Shivan cruiser. Fighter pilots are well advised to let the corvettes and destroyers take care of these cruisers, armed with many flak batteries and anti fighter beams, it can tear any fighter and bomber apart. It is also armed with a beam cannon that can easily take care of cruisers. Its main weakness is a poorly armed rear, with little special weaponry there, any ship that is able to flank the Lamia is spared from the brunt of its firepower.

Do whatever you like with these, just credit me and maybe tell me that you're using it. ;) The tables are just a guideline, feel free to change them for your own purposes.

Good work dude :yes: :yes:
-
Very sweet :)
Those red blobs on the front of the Shivan cruiser remind me of LEDs :lol:
Do you mind if I use them in me campaign?
-
The blobs flash when Shivans have their rave parties. ;)

Sure you can use them. :)

lol :) Do they flash in time to YMCA? :lol:

Sweet :)

Awesome stuff :yes:
The Cretheus is the best ship mapped with :v: textures I've seen in ages. It really looks good with them.
-
YEEEESSS! I've been waiting a long time for this!
*Replaces Inferno's Abel-cruiser with the Lamia*
-
How good is that MRed?
-
Technically its a LamiaRed ;), and it does okay. It's closer to an SRed than an LRed, but it does good against cruisers and corvettes (corvette slashers have a hard time hitting the Lamia). If you want to use the weapon on something else, I'd suggest toning down the muzzle size a bit, its a bit bigger than usual for the Lamia's unique firing.
-
Sweet can't wait to try in-game.
Just played JAD and JAD2 amazing.
Burn, Baby, Burn :D
-
I just pitted these two ships together in a small mission, the Lamia ripped through the Cretheus in seconds with its main beam when they faced each other - lol. Side by side, the Lamia still had a slight upper hand, so I think I'll beef her up a little bit :drevil:
-
Beamless flak cruiser that has weapons that deal neglible amount of damage against large targets (5% of normal damage) versus... well... shivan Aeolus/ advanced Lilith... It isnt too hard to figure out the winner.
-
Wow, the arms even move together to create the beam! :eek2:
Excellently done ;7

I was trying to highlight how effective the Shivan vessel's beam weapon is, not who would win in a battle :doubt:
-
Best :V: mapping since the Raynor Destroyer.........
-
The Cretheus textures don't show up for me under D3D :(
Since most other textures don't show up properly for me in OpenGL means I can't play with your lovely model.
-
Under no circumstances ever use D3D, OpenGL is supported, D3D is phasing out.
(SCP wise)
-
speaking of textures, I've been trying to get the nameplate to work, but if I put a nameplate.pcx file in the \maps folder, the debug build complains that it can't find a texture named 'nameplate' :(
-
Do you have the media vps installed? 'nameplate' is a completely transparent texture that should be in mv_models.vp.
-
OIC, I had the media vps temporarily turned off to troubleshoot something :)
I just took the Cretheus into subspace and I've never seen the subspace effects being reflected so well on a hull before, superb job!
-
Oooh, Reflect'o'maps. I need to update................ :lol:
-
They're not that bad actually, I quite like them :) Although I have just spotted the fact that the reflections are going the wrong way :lol: (Ship's going forward, subspace map is going backwards, but the reflections are going forwards!)
-
Fixed OpenGL...and the ship looks wonderful.
Having much fun at the moment making it player-controlled :D
-
Nice ones..
Hey, what's that planet in hte background of hte first pic?
-
You mind if I submit these to Hades Combine, Axem?
-
Trashman: It is one of Lt. Cannonfodder's planets. There's a few mod projects using them (one of which I am apart of ;)).
Dark Hunter: Go right ahead. They're currently being hosted at a temporary spot until GW comes back up. The more places the better. :)
-
WOAH!!! Great job! :yes: I think Lamia will find its use in Phoenix, but i'll have to talk about it with Mekton. ;)
-
Cool! The Lamia looks kinda like a mini-Sathanas.
