Title: Weird Corvette
Post by: blowfish on May 19, 2008, 08:48:54 pm
I'm not going to finish this (unless someone really wants me to). EDIT: Someone really wanted me to, so I'll probably finish it at some point.  Its a frankenstein's monster of StratComm's models, and it looks like an overgrown, mentally-challenged cyclops-whale.  Just figured I'd show it.

I think it looks cool. Other than the eye in the front.

Looks like a mini GTD Titan with only one eye.

The back part reminds me of the Raynor...

Somehow, I like it, even if the description is quite accurate  :wtf:

I like it a lot actually. Really. Also, could be a good joint ship for one mod that I will do after I finish the Ancient-Shivan War mod.

So do you want me to finish it?

Yea, of course. :)

Could you shrink it down? Stratcomm's fleet already has two corvettes, but only one cruiser. This would work perfectly as the light cruiser counterpart to the GTC Hyperion.  :nod:
Title: Re: Weird Corvette
Post by: blowfish on May 20, 2008, 06:13:01 pm
The proportions aren't right for a cruiser IMO.  I plan to design another cruiser that fits with StratComm's fleetpack at some point though.

Post by: Droid803 on May 20, 2008, 07:38:27 pm
Well, that's fine too. It'll still have a use (I might retire the use of the Reyena then, its being a temporary stand-in) :P
You could add two more beams (one on each side) on the jutting section at the rear (the "wings")

Post by: Titan on May 21, 2008, 09:14:29 am
make the front almost a mix of the fenris, raynor and deimos... keeps the down-sized raynor back.

Post by: Droid803 on May 21, 2008, 05:50:58 pm
Alternatively, cut a hangar bay into the front and make it a Mini-Titan / Terran Moloch.

Still, I'd like two smaller beam emitters on either the facing to the side or the front from back end so it at least has SOME anti-warship defense along its broadsides
Title: Re: Weird Corvette
Post by: blowfish on May 21, 2008, 05:59:26 pm
I planned to add a beam cannon on each side.

i really hate to be that guy but, it looks just a tad phallic.  one-eye'd monster and all..
Title: Re: Weird Corvette

 :wtf: What part of the mentally-challenged-cyclops-whale looks phallic?  :wtf:

Post by: colecampbell666 on May 30, 2008, 06:45:20 pm
Look at the front/mid-section.
Title: Re: Weird Corvette
Post by: Droid803 on May 30, 2008, 07:06:18 pm
It's got an eye. If your *erhm* has something like that on it, and is that lobsided, you might want to see a doctor. ;) (not to mention the mid sections is rectangular).

No, it's got a BP beam turret.
Title: Re: Weird Corvette
Post by: Droid803 on May 30, 2008, 08:30:14 pm
IIRC, the beam turrets from Stratcomm's fleet pack looked like that by default.
And I call them eyes. because they shoot eye lazorz.
Title: Re: Weird Corvette
Post by: NGTM-1R on May 30, 2008, 10:41:51 pm
He had another one he didn't release like a carrier, IIRC, because it looked like a face on the front. :P
Title: Re: Weird Corvette
Post by: Droid803 on May 30, 2008, 11:56:56 pm
The GTD Titan? The thing with three eyes?
It's in BP, so its released.
Title: Re: Weird Corvette
Post by: Hades on May 30, 2008, 11:59:58 pm
No it is a different carrier that he has released in his model dump. I think it is called the Phoenix.
It looks like it has a smiley face.
Title: Re: Weird Corvette
Post by: Droid803 on May 31, 2008, 12:25:34 am
Smiley? Someone should convert it  :lol:
Title: Re: Weird Corvette
Post by: Stormkeeper on May 31, 2008, 03:18:48 am
I actually like the design. I like ships with smooth surfaces and curves. The eye makes me think its a big gun like a BFGreen or sth.
Title: Re: Weird Corvette
Post by: Titan on May 31, 2008, 10:57:28 am
the Pheonix is still availible from Stratt's site.

But the one in his Model Dump is high-poly. :P

Agreed.

But now lets talk about the GTCv Weird.

It needs more turrets.

I know that.  I generally don't add all of the turrets until the main hull is finished.
Title: Re: Weird Corvette
Post by: Stormkeeper on May 31, 2008, 07:30:13 pm
I think its head looks a bit plain, though. But I'm not sure what you can add on and not make the ship look weirder.
Title: Re: Weird Corvette
Post by: Droid803 on May 31, 2008, 07:58:33 pm
Cut a hangar underneath (just one opening per side, and furnish it like the Titan's hangar). Make it a Terran Moloch :) The head will be less plain too. (you could also cut the lines into the head like the Titan has)
Title: Re: Weird Corvette
Post by: Scooby_Doo on May 31, 2008, 10:03:21 pm
I really like from the middle section and back.  The forward section would be really cool if it a more square ram head style section.
Title: Re: Weird Corvette

Any progress?
Title: Re: Weird Corvette
Post by: Stormkeeper on June 01, 2008, 11:25:13 am
Or you could ridge the head somewhat ... I dunno. If you spike its head, it might end up looking Shivan-ish.

Nah, then it'll end up as a Moloch clone.

Not much progress yet, sorry.  I've been kind of out of it and a bit overwhelmed by a couple of things the past week...

IRL or ED? ;)

Basically, just a few things have happened that have been so surprising that the left me disoriented (won't say more ;)), and besides, I have a lot of backlogged projects, ED among them,

In Real Life. Don't know what ED is, besides Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Earth Defense.

Man we need a new name if everyone's going to think "Encyclopedia Dramatica" when they see ED. :rolleyes:

Yay! Turrets!  :D
Just needs a few more of those small turrets (for TTs and AAAfs) on the sides and rear.
Title: Re: Weird Corvette
Post by: colecampbell666 on June 27, 2008, 06:09:38 pm
Really starting to look like a Mini-Titan.
Title: Re: Weird Corvette

Why, that's the plan.
If he cut a hangar bay in the head, it would be a mini-Titan :lol:

I haven't even started adding the point-defense turrets yet.  The ones you see are the flaks and anti-cap beams

Yeah, thats why I said it needs a few more of the small ones :P
Lookin good though. (Its not so much a overgrown, mentally-challenged cyclops-whale anymore :) )
