Title: Anyone have a refinery station like thing?
Post by: blowfish on March 30, 2008, 07:29:00 pm
I'm looking for something that looks like some sort of refinery station, with lost of pipes etc.  Preferably high-poly.  Does anyone have anything like this?

Perhaps you could rip some freelancer models. They're not terribly high poly but they're what you're looking for.

There were a few on FS2 sector, IIRC...but that's died too :(
They weren't high-poly though.

Is there anywhere I could see/get some of these?

:bump:

Well, I couldn't find anything I liked, so I decided to make it myself.  WIP shot here (http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj251/blowfishpro/My%20Stuff/refineryplatform2.jpg).  I may decide to release it when its done, but that won't be for a while.

Add some more y-axis differentiantionblehblah... differention?  It looks.. bleh. Other wise, good though. What exactly will those turrets use? TTs/MTTs?

Some sort of weak laz0rz.  Its a civilian station, so its poorly defended.

They look a bit too powerful to carry weak lasers, IMO.

But it's a nice model, it does look like a refinery station.

Where are the docking points? I can't find any.

Tell that to the huge battery guns on the Orion which barely scratch your shield (note: shield. Not hull. Unshielded it rapes you)

They will be added.  This is still WIP.

That looks a great deal like the turret square in Tachyon.
Take out the pipes in the middle and it'd nearly be identical.

Terran Turret Weaks.
They usually get big mounts..and they're pissweak, but they're good anti-bomb defense.

They will probably end up being THTs or something stronger.  I've got a few turret weapons in my tables.

In fact, you could incorporate logical design and replace four piss turrets with one tabled AAA beam (maybe AAA-Weak

If you're still looking around you could try one of trashman's ships called the Aule. It's similar to your design.

Yeah, but it's bigger than an arcadia... this will be like half as big, i guess?
Title: Re: Anyone have a refinery station like thing?
Post by: blowfish on April 12, 2008, 11:15:35 am
Yes, its much smaller.  About 800m square.

But where could I find this Aule?

It'll be one of the four models I upload to FSMods today.

Yeah, that thing doesn't really fit my purposes.  Its a decent mod, though.

Dude.. how do you get the pipes bent like that?

I used the "Follow Me" tool.

I can never get that thing to work properly.. it bends polygons in ways only a mother could love

It can be difficult to use sometimes.

Nice model.  FS2 is missing a station like this.  Inner detail is good.  :yes: Only thing, like Titan said, is that it needs to have a greater up and down range.  Still good though.  Also, have you decided on textures?

I have a set of textures that I plan to use.  But if you have something better, you are more than welcome to suggest it.

No, i'm not good with textures, I was just wondering.  Hopefully it looks run down and grimy though.
