This is a very small drone, only 7 meters long (If that's way too small I can scale it up) Not much of a threat individually but dangerous in swarms. Now I just have to get Truespace and learn how to texture.
-
what is it FOR?
-
Well, whatever you want it for really. It would be awesome if this got used in some high-level-mod. *cough*hinthint*cough*
-
Descent :vs: Freespace
-
To be honest I think it can serve as a drone. It even has what seems to be a "computer head".
I would personally use it.
-
Yay somebody likes my stuff! :lol: Anyway if you want it I can attach the skp.
-
Good to see a ship that isn't the regulation size. Imagine having a swarm of really crappy fighters flying around you...and it looks better than the Amazon drone by far. About the detail you put on it - will this just be a texture or actual detail?
-
W00t cannon fodder.
-
Actually, that's pretty good.
It reminds me of one of the Shiva fighters in INFR1...the one based off the Jotun.
-
Wha~?
SF Serpent? (manticore-basilisk) Or do you mean the SB Kahlan? (Spiky basilisk thing)
On second though, how'd the hell I remember those names.
-
[pit lord voice]What trickery is this?[/pit lord voice]
Looks pretty dang cool.
What did you model it in ?
-

The Shivan bomber based on the Jotun was the Kahlan. Though personally I don't see that much of a resemblance besides the bottom fin and the two missile bays.
What did you model it in ?
Looks like Google SketchUp, which franky isn't very good for actual in-game models since it creates buggy geometry.
-
Seriously....I hate it when people say 'Oh, I made a crappy product'. Hey, get this. You are one of the lucky ones inside HLP who knows how to model, and I am jealous now.
A descent model, to say the truth. But isn't it a bit blocky?
-

Just get Sketchup, It's the easiest modeling program there is. As for it being blocky, I've gotten dissaproval for that before, I just like blocky ships. (besides, it's based on drawings I made and blocks are easier to draw :P )
-
Oh I see. Well, I'll try Sketchup, and I am waiting to see the final release with textures :D
-
I've heard that it's very hard to convert models made in SketchUp to FS2.

I feel that blocky ships are useful as early Terran ships. ;)

You hardly need aerodynamics in space, if a fighter is purely developed for space, I'd think the focus would be on making it hard to hit and making it stealthy. And for stealth a more blocky design makes much more sense than curves.

Descent :vs: Freespace
SWEET JESUS MY FRICKIN EYES !!!

I think I'll upload it to FSMods. Needs a name though. Help me think of a name and I'll put it up. Then someone can convert it and mabe give me a baseline UV map to work with.

Uh, Colonel, it's not even CYAN, although the red-blue reminds me of the Porygon incident in Japan.

You mean the one where people got seizures?
-
Yes, that. It's the only one, isn't it?
-
Here it is people. If someone would like to convert and texture it (and the other things neded to get it ingame) I'd be happy. I tried getting rid of a bunch of the grebles but some didn't want to go and it didn't effect file size much anyway.

Something powerful and mighty... like...
Banana.
About the blockyness, I've seen worse (made by me actually).
Your model has good, mass-produceable blockiness.

Well it looks off in firefox, sorry for the detraction :D

In the *cough*hinthint*cough*? :p
Maybe...
post ideas in the ideas thread in the *cough*hinthint*cough* subforum. And I might get a few of my own too.
-
Hmm, I didn't see this before but just adding details to the ship doesn't suddenly make it better. It still is "crappy" In my opinion. It has a horrible shape and adding details didn't make it any better. :P
-
*shrug* Everybody is entitled to their own opinion.
-
Hey, its in the title. "Remember that crappy fighter I made?" :P
You're actually agreeing on it!

I'm going to have to agree with Hades.

What can I say, it's only my second real model. Of Course it'll be crappy. At least some people liked it though.

It's crappy, but hey, it looks like something that'd be cheap to throw together for target practice or kamikaze runs. :P
-
It could even be a new GTDr Amazon. :D
-
Althoug, for ulti-obliteration, we could arm it with a cheap to produce, simple... targeting Laser. A workin one.
Okay, maybe a Helios coming basically out of a cheapo ship's ass is overpowered. But what about, say, dual Trebs?
-
Vasudan Light Lasers all the way!

Riiight. Are they useful? :drevil:
-
Of course they are. And they make cool noises too. Peeeew peeeew.
-
I'll try it out for myself one of these days. ;)
-
Souped it up with a few extra guns.

What's the big box for?
-
it's an LRBFRed :drevil:
-
Admiral Stones, don't be an idiot.
-
Well duh, I should have made it bigger and write 'IRONIC EFFECT INTENDED' on it...
Oh well, seems like I'm a very bad comedian :sigh:
-
LRMFBFRed? :drevil:
(Long Range Mother ****ing Big Fat Red)
-
Titan, don't be an idiot.
-
Snail, don't be an idiot too.
-
Stones, stop being right all the time.
Titan, shut the hell up, dammit.
-
This page of the thread made me lol.
-

Oh that's great, had me laughing for a minute or two.
People, stop flaming each other.
-
It can't be an early Terran fighter, right? :nervous:

If you felt like making it look like one it could be.
-
Doesn't really look anything like the FS1 fighters though. Looks more to me like some kind of Post-Capella drone fighter or som'n.
-
looks like the scout fighter for a race of intelligent machines that want to destroy humanity... IE, the middle part is the thing's brain...
-
But actually, I guess it is an effective design... If you would mount the drives to the strange wingy things, the lever force would give you nice maneuverability... It's prettay bare-bones, no useless wings or fins or whatever attached.

Shivan dogs?

Shivan dogs?
I don't think so. It's too blocky even by Shaitan and Scorpion standards. :drevil:
-
Shivan dog's pets?

A bit outlandish, but possible. :nod:
