Title: Bonjour, HLPers.
Post by: MrMittens on May 05, 2008, 09:46:04 pm
I've been playing FS for about a year now, but only the 3.6.7 uber buggy version I found on version tracker all that time ago, so you can probably imagine my joy at not only finding an updated and easily playable version, but a plethora of modifications and dedicated users congregated in one place.

Anyway, instead of wasting your time with a mere "Hi! I'm new!" sort of post, I thought I'd also include a model I've been working on during what precious little free time I can spare. It's my first time making a spaceship type dealie model, but I've done lots of work with architecture before. So, without further ado, here it is. I'd appreciate some helpful criticism.

If I had to classify it, I'd say it's a battle carrier. Made for carrying a myriad of crap to chuck at the enemy but able to withstand a reasonable amount of punishment itself. However, since military juggernauts are boring, it is most susceptible to bombing, due to its large size and inadequate anti-fighter coverage.

Are those Triforce symbols on it? :p

Anyway, looks pretty good so far. And it doesn't really need good anti-fighter weapons when it has so many fighters to defend itself with, right?

I was actually going for Terran, but as I said, my experience in spaceship making is very low.

Fighter's have a tendency to 'splode. Especially when they're not Alpha 1.

It's a relic from the Legend Of Zelda series of games. (http://zeldawiki.org/Triforce)

Thanks for the clemency. What's triple posting, though? I see only one thread of this type, so I am left to conclude that it's posting in my own thread? Seems odd. (And since I have no idea what it is, I'm probably doing it again, thus quadruple posting. Fantastic.)
Title: Re: Bonjour, HLPers.
Post by: haloboy100 on May 06, 2008, 09:28:42 pm
:lol: no.

Triple posting just means posting three times in a row, which is unnecessary due to the "modify" button in all of your posts.

I see! That's good to know. I'll refrain from doing that in the future. Such nice people here.
