Title: does anyone have a light fighter?
Post by: Titan on March 23, 2008, 11:38:04 am
DOes anyone have a light fighter that would, like, be used by local security forces? It would carry decent weapons, but not full-blown military level stuff. All around, pretty balanced.

Wouldn't a decommissioned Loki do the job? Depending on what period you're setting... whatever it is you're doing in.

no, because it would be a state of the art police fighter, that's low maintenance and excels at patrol/liason/minor shootouts.

Try the Kulas from BP. (would have said HC but it's dead)

plus HC doesn't have it... and the BP one is retextured to remove all the piratey logos.

Or the alves from INF
Edit: Mind you, the stats will have to be changed a bit.

I'm not sure if thesizzler wants people using stuff from the released 158th material yet, and our official release is hopefully going to come very soon, but the Lethe sounds very much like what you're looking for.
Title: Re: does anyone have a light fighter?
Post by: Titan on March 24, 2008, 06:57:30 am
i would if the lethe looked like it does in the tech photo on 158's site. but it's completely different  :(

Use fighter158e-01 instead of fighter158c-01, and DON'T USE THE HADES COMBINE VERSION OF THE MODEL.

The model attached is the version used in my Starforce mod, which has glowpoints, a more uniform color scheme, and somewhat weaker armament.

You should tell me who made that model, and give me a little info about it.

For FreeSpaceMods? LtNarol made it, and...

The Lethe is an aerospace superiority fighter, created originally for NASA to train its astronauts for a variety of missions. Currently the most sophisticated combat craft in the field, the Lethe features two primary gun banks with two mounts each and two missile ports, added after the fighter’s conversion into a military vehicle. Its advanced power generator and power distribution system allow the Lethe to pipe more power into its wingtip guns than would normally be possible, easily doubling the firepower of the Lethe's first gunbank. Versatile in speed, maneuverability, and ruggedness, it can perform any task in excellent standing, be it intercepting enemy bombers and their payloads or strafing enemy positions on the ground. These fighters form the backbone of the EA navy.

In any other circumstance, I would not put this out, but LtNarol released the original 158th material. The cat's out of the bag, and we can't shove it back in, so here you go. It has a shield mesh and 4 gun mounts, instead of no shield and 6 like the 158th version.

Thanks again woolie.

There's a more permanent link to the Lethe.  It includes the headlight bitmap.

theres the chimera and the seker. both are small ships easily capable of getting themselves killed by trying to flight it like an assault craft :D the chimera is a mere 11 meters long, i forget about the seker.
Title: Re: how about capships?
Post by: Titan on March 25, 2008, 06:57:33 am
ok, now i need a next-gen corvette (that bonus United-Earth frigate from BP should work though) and a next-gen destroyer... i just can't find one with the right feel that isn't a stupid reskin...  :ick:
Title: Re: does anyone have a light fighter?
Post by: blowfish on March 25, 2008, 09:33:34 am
Have you checked out StratComm's Terran fleetpack?  There are some cool next-gen capships in there.  They look even better with Blue Planet textures.
Title: Re: does anyone have a light fighter?
Post by: Droid803 on March 25, 2008, 11:32:23 am
I think there's a version of the fleetpack with the updated (BP?) textures and GTD Titan included on Freespacemods.net Of course, if you just need one destroyer, the Raynor does well enough (aloth the entire fleet looks really nice together, as demonstrated by BP)

(I'm even using StratComm's old Archangel with the Huge ass cannon :P, texture tweaked of course...)

Excuse me: First of all, what is HC?

Then again titan, why do you need that fighter? Is there a MOD I don't know about? ;7
Title: Re: does anyone have a light fighter?
Post by: Jeff Vader on March 25, 2008, 11:39:58 am
Excuse me: First of all, what is HC?
Hades Combine (http://www.hades-combine.com/). Used to be the place to get new ships, campaigns and such.
Title: Re: does anyone have a light fighter?
Post by: Droid803 on March 25, 2008, 11:57:28 am
But now, sadly, HC is dead. :( Dang.

Oh, and you can use the INFA's GTD Zagreus (not next-gen at all in their storyline, but you can use it for whatever) or Maegera. I think they have more in common with the UEFg Karuna (if you decide to use it) than StratComm's fleet (unless you're using the whole fleet).
Title: Re: does anyone have a light fighter?
Post by: Nuke on March 25, 2008, 12:06:20 pm
use the ragnarok or valhalla, both missile corvettes at the moment, but i was thinking of swapping val's missile turrets with coil/rail guns (pending a scripted particle effect of course).
Title: Re: does anyone have a light fighter?
Post by: starlord on March 25, 2008, 12:10:08 pm
Hah, of course: what was I thinking.

But still, if I may ask: What's the police fighter for?
Title: Re: does anyone have a light fighter?
Post by: Titan on March 25, 2008, 01:24:23 pm
it's for Ragnaroktm.

And those 2 corvettes sound interesting, were can i get them?

I fixed up some of the texturing (from the blueplanet version) and nameplates for that for the shivan mod, if anyone's interested.
Title: Re: does anyone have a light fighter?
Post by: Droid803 on March 25, 2008, 05:48:46 pm
What was wrong with the BP Texturing? (ie. what wast there to fix up?)
Title: Re: does anyone have a light fighter?
Post by: Flaming_Sword on March 25, 2008, 06:40:53 pm
Nameplates were missing on a few ships, leading to parts where there was no texture and you could see inside the ship, as well as the nameplate texture on the GTD Raynor being replaced with a metallic texture. I replaced them with the default blank nameplate texture in the mediavps.

Dang, i cna't look now, game warden is blocked by my school's security lol... due to 'Web-based Proxies/Anonymizers'

run -> command -> regedit -> control-F "proxy server" -> delete it all.

You might be able to bypass step 2 and go straight to regedit, but run blocks regedit so you have to go through command at my school.



Or you could just use portable firefox on a thumb drive and it'd work fine. :p

lolz, i just tried it (didn't delete it though) got up to the point were you search, it didn't turn up anything though. My school's comps run by using a big central 'BRAIN' that all comps are connected to.

Could you actually explain what exactly Nukemod is?

Sure would appreciate it.  :)
Title: Re: does anyone have a light fighter?

Nukemod is very self explanatory.

It's Nuke's Mod.

And I think its joined up with Children of Shiva.

when i started nukemod i had planned to do 4 ships. i sorta got carried away, its now like 20. ive wasted alot of time improving old designs, as a result ive not produced something original in several years.

I had a mod (for another game) that started with me changing a few things, and it just evolved...

you plan on getting more carried away? :P

Well, I know WHAT it is, I'm just asking for a description.

AKA, what it does, what's in it.

I think you know what I plan on doing with it.  >_>
