Title: Concept Art to FreeSpace 2
Post by: Snail on October 20, 2006, 03:15:12 pm: I was wondering if anyone had created:

Shivan Bomber/Fighter

(http://geocities.com/alpha_quadrant_project/conceptpics/SF_Daityas.jpg)

This one looks slightly hard to see its configuration due to the size of the picture, but after looking for a while you can see it would have two missile 'arms' Manticore-style on the right hand side of the picture, with a smaller Manticore missile cluster to the left of the picture. It looks cool in the picture and I'm sure some people would like to see that thing in game.

Shivan Freighter

(http://geocities.com/alpha_quadrant_project/conceptpics/SF_Vasus.jpg)

This one looks like somekind of special Freighter ship. I imagine the little blocks on the side of the frontal part to be the docking parts, and the bottom of the frontal structure to be a dock for smaller ships. It may be much harder to get ingame because it's obviously assymetric and the angle of the picture, but nonetheless still a cool little picture.

Shivan Fighter/Lindos

(http://geocities.com/alpha_quadrant_project/conceptpics/SC_Durgha.jpg)

This thing looks like a Shivan fighter and looks pretty cool in my opinion. Could use skins like the Taurvi bomber, since it looks quite similar to that ship. It could possibly be a heavy destroyer like the Inferno EAD Lindos class, but that's a long shot. This one looks cool and it'd be cool to see this in FreeSpace too.

Vasudan Corvette

(http://geocities.com/alpha_quadrant_project/conceptpics/GVBe_Khnum.jpg)

This thing looks really nice and there have been a lack of Vasudan models for a long time. This one could really be a quality model if done correctly, but it would probably be pretty hard, but I can't talk since I can't model to save my life. I imagine it as somekind of corvette or something. I've seen something like this in MindGames, could someone confirm?

Vasudan Carrier

(http://geocities.com/alpha_quadrant_project/conceptpics/Vas_Super_Carrier.jpg)

Hey, this one actually looks slightly like the Gaia from OTT, if you think about it and reskin it. I've done it before and it looks a lot like this picture. This one looks like some quality stuff and it doesn't seem to be too hard to make. This one is obviously a Vasudan Supercarrier (like the Tanen?) with a conciderable armament of flak guns and a screamingly large beam cannon at the front.

Vasudan Transport

(http://geocities.com/alpha_quadrant_project/conceptpics/GVF_Chensit.jpg)

This could be a light assault transport, like a special version of the Isis. This one is pretty basic and doesn't seem to be too hard.... Anybody with me?

Terran AWACS

(http://geocities.com/alpha_quadrant_project/conceptpics/GTA_Capacious.jpg)

Probably not an AWACS, but it has a fair load of sensor equipment so it could be one. It could also be somesort of cargo container as well. This one seems easy enough, but perhaps very hard to texture properly.

Terran Space Station

(http://geocities.com/alpha_quadrant_project/conceptpics/GTI_Dionysus.jpg)

Don't know if this thing is still in TVWP, because I've seen that thing in some of their screenshots on their site, but since they were so old it could've been deleted in favour for the OTT installation or something like that. THis one I'm really eager to see in game.

Terran Destroyer

(http://geocities.com/alpha_quadrant_project/conceptpics/ship7.jpg)

ACK! This one REALLY needs to be made and put in game! It looks breath-takingly scary in detail and could become a really great model. I imagine it as a pre-Great War destroyer or colony ship or something akin to that. This thing MUST be put in game!

Anyone created any of these? Because I haven't seen any of them and I'd like to see these things in game because they're really pretty in my opinion.

Have a nice day. ;) :D

Post by: Taristin on October 20, 2006, 03:33:47 pm: 3 of those are in TVWP.

I made one. Particularly the one you seem to think is a transport for some reason or other. Its a fighter now.

Title: Re: Concept Art to FreeSpace 2
Post by: Taristin on October 20, 2006, 03:48:40 pm: There were. THey arent now.
Title: Re: Concept Art to FreeSpace 2
Post by: Snail on October 20, 2006, 04:33:16 pm: There are now...?

I got those from some site I found a long time ago since I was too lazy to upload them myself.

Post by: Trivial Psychic on October 20, 2006, 05:51:12 pm: There had been models of the Vasdan Super Carrier floating about. A search could probably find it, but the images could have been removed by now.

Post by: Goober5000 on October 21, 2006, 07:41:41 am: These two have been modelled (by Inferno, I think):

(http://geocities.com/alpha_quadrant_project/conceptpics/SF_Vasus.jpg)

This might simply be the Osiris:

These three are in TVWP:

Post by: starbug on October 21, 2006, 12:27:38 pm: the Vasudan carrier, i thought it was being worked on by someone? i started it many years ago but never finished it, there was a topic somewhere in this forum of it being worked on.

edit here it is http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,34202.0.html being done by weatherOp wished it had been finished

What's that Shivan vessel? I'm not a fan of the 'Shivans are super spikey with all firepower concentrated forward' approach, but I think I'd like to have a little look at that... thing.

An abomination. Put it away please.

Post by: TrashMan on October 21, 2006, 05:19:25 pm: Someone gave me that model to finish a long time ago. (can't recall who)
Never got around to it and I *THINK* I lost the model. Should check some of hte old back-ups

Post by: Tyrian on October 21, 2006, 09:37:01 pm: Ehh...What the heck is that?

I heard about a Nightmare ship that was 150km long once. Is that it?
Title: Re: Concept Art to FreeSpace 2
Post by: Taristin on October 21, 2006, 10:51:23 pm: Thats not Nightmare.
Title: Re: Concept Art to FreeSpace 2
Post by: Snail on October 22, 2006, 05:57:29 am: You mean the Inferno 150 km ship? That wasn't Nightmare, that was um... *****... Or whatever.

Seen what? The nightmares?

Aldo made them, so he's seen 'em.
At one point I had them, after Aldo dumped Reci, and they were supposed to go to another campaign, that also died....
So... Woo has them now?
Title: Re: Concept Art to FreeSpace 2
Post by: Black Wolf on October 22, 2006, 11:55:54 am: I think he meant a 150 km long new species ship that was up on the Inferno site for awhile under the species moniker "*****".

It was clearly not nightmare (it was purple pink I think), but I don't think anyone has actually said it was (except Tyrian).
Title: Re: Concept Art to FreeSpace 2
Post by: Snail on October 22, 2006, 12:05:40 pm: Not the Nightmares, the Unknowns...
Title: Re: Concept Art to FreeSpace 2

Title: Re: Concept Art to FreeSpace 2

Title: Re: Concept Art to FreeSpace 2
Post by: Tyrian on October 23, 2006, 05:03:16 pm: So, they are the Unknowns we know about, but know nothing about, and don't know their names, right? :nervous:

Looks sort of like a cricket that got stepped on.
