Title: Pirate Ship idea
Post by: Fozzy on September 06, 2007, 06:43:42 pm
Idea: re-model the V-Pirate Ship (cheat thingy) and include pictures of the SCP programmers on the pirates, or if they dont want there faces shown, show there HLBB names.

It... should be left as it is, in the original state from the retail.

HTL Volition Bravos just doesn't feel right. It should be ridiculously low-poly and cheesy as it is, the scurviest ship in known universe. Arrr.

However, having something entirely different but equally ridiculous in the game from the SCP team would be cool as well. Just not to replace the Volition Bravos. Like, I dunno, space ninjas! A wing of huge space ninjas with SCP team faces or avatars as insignia.

They could be firing exploding throwing stars.


Or, perhaps a space shark with laser (beam turret) attached to it's head.

I have a ship mesh ying on my HDD, lets see your ugly mugs! And why limit it to SCP team only? Everyone who has significantly contributed to the community desers a big "thank you" IMHO.

So post your mugshots and I'll make the HLP Bravos (with the SCP team being the captains and all)

Get a crewcut, then take a picture... or shave it bald!!  :D  Then you'd look more pirate-ish.. how 'bout an eyepatch, too?  XD  We can put one in if we wanted to, I guess.

I like the "proffesionalism" of his outlining - though it could just be good lighting against a white wall.

Mmmmm....a pirate ship with three pirates? I think we need more. (I haven't contributed to HLP or FS2 much, and I don't want to be one either (on the pirate ship), but have we got anymore photo's?

Post by: TrashMan on October 02, 2007, 04:46:18 am
It's supposed ot be a ship filled with the most distinguished HLP members (in other words, all members that contributed ot hte HLP and FS in any significant way).

But what hte hell, theere arn't many of us anyway - EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO BE ON THE SHIP, post you mughsto!
Title: Re: Pirate Ship idea

Post by: Herra Tohtori on October 02, 2007, 01:32:39 pm
I want to see animated gunners, and the sails should also fold/unfold according to the throttle setting, much in the same way the thrusters work.

By the way, will it be realistically scaled or a Deimos-sized behemoth like the Volition Bravos? :drevil:
Title: Re: Pirate Ship idea
Post by: colecampbell666 on October 02, 2007, 03:16:53 pm
Realistically scaled the Ursa would be bigger.

Space Pirates! That means, bigger, badder, with Rocket engines!

How would this affect the ship in the dream mission in Derelict?  Would it be replaced with this?
Title: Re: Pirate Ship idea
Post by: colecampbell666 on October 02, 2007, 08:53:33 pm
Derelict uses the MediaVPs. They replace stock models with HTL ones, if available. Will explain later.
Title: Re: Pirate Ship idea
Post by: Herra Tohtori on October 02, 2007, 09:29:30 pm
I was/am under the impression that this isn't about substituting the Volition Bravos with anything, but rather to create a Hard Light Cheerios or something like that (I have no idea of a suitable name, I just threw in Hard Light Cheerios from the top of my hat), kinda like a community easter egg as opposed to a retail easter egg.

So if the mission calls in Volition Bravos, it would keep doing so. But whatever is put as the last entry in ships.tbl (AFAIK anyway) is what will be summoned by "arrrwalktheplank" cheat.

Of course, it won't likely be an easter egg what with pretty much anyone observant enough knowing about it, but whatever.
Title: Re: Pirate Ship idea
Post by: jr2 on October 02, 2007, 11:08:14 pm
...The SCP could put in a code to call a certain model, I'd think.... right?

this ship wouldn ' replace the Volition Bravos - it's the HLP Bravos - a different ship.
