Title: A new mod universe perhaps?
Post by: Vengence on October 01, 2007, 03:01:05 pm
Me and my group in college are making a board game for a class project and since it is a space based board game I'd thought I share some info. Gameplay aside from the board game, we decided to create an original universe in another galaxy with completely different species and no humans whatsoever. Though I might never get the time to work on it I just thought that I'd show this ship I am putting into the board game:

Galvetan Tau-Omega class Battleship

If anything, the Tau-Omega class can be described as simply being a gigantic flying gun. Nearly the entire ship is made up of 3 giant plasma cannons and a devastating Siege Mass Driver. Where the cannons would rip even a mothership apart, the mass driver is meant to lay waste to planets. For additional coverage it possesses 2 large turrets near the rear. These turrets aren't that effective however they prevent another cap ship from flanking the battleship. This is an original universe and so the sizes of the ships will not be on par with Freespace 2 however. For all I know this ship might only be as big as an Orion and yet be classified as a Battleship. I just need a good skin too.

Ooohhh a nasty one this is. Capital ships aren't fast in FS2, none at all. This ship however can be called a speed demon! Mostly missile weapons and torpedoes are on this thing.

So what do you think of my ship designs?

Thats because I built it based off something I made in Galactic Civ 2.

give the ships a lil more muscle, make them beefier...... these ones that are just a barrel slapped onto an engine dont do it for me

Very cool, but in the battleship, where do the people go (or aliens or w/e)? :D

Not much space. Under the engines near the rear guns.

To be honest, this thing doesn't look like it needs a large crew.  I always thought crew requirements in FS2 were way too high anyway.  Seriously, with the robotics we have now, I would be surprised if there were even any people on board ships in 300 years.

On topic, I really like the first two ships, the third could use a little work on the nose.  Maybe a few small turrets or something.  Will this be going with the Typhoon?

I was just wondering because they are kind of in the same style.  By the way, is it up for download?

Sorry, nope. Typhoon is for my presentation, as well as Hurricane 5, and Lightning, and Blizzard, and Thunder  :lol:

not really, they are just not ready at all.
