Title: The newest NTF fighter
Post by: Hellstryker on July 22, 2008, 12:36:30 am: Long long ago, VA and Galemp made uglies. They were disgusting, very much so indeed, but a friend of mine (mad bomber) pushed me to make somthing uglier, somthing that looked as though it was part of a debris field, not a craft at all...

~~Ladies~~ and gentlemen, I present to you the NTF Choctaw:

Post by: Jeff Vader on July 22, 2008, 03:12:27 am: Much like the Vogon ships in Douglas Adams's legendary series of novels, that thing looks like it was merely congealed, rather than specifically built.

And, what with all the Finnish perspectives and such, that made me lol.

In any case, it's a ApoPerseAngelLoki to be exact

It would be rather hard to try and explain it. And even if I could, it wouldn't be funny anymore.

Oh, alright. I'll give it a shot. ApoPerseValkLoki as such doesn't mean anything. But Apo could be a typo of Apu (can be translated to numerous different words depending on the context, so let's agree that it's Auxiliary in this case). Perse is, well, Ass in Finnish. ValkLoki resembles Valkolööki, an old-ish synonym for Valkosipuli, which is Garlic. So, as a result, ApoPerseValkLoki is almost like ApuPerseValkoLööki, or Auxiliary Ass Garlic.

Also, GE, what is the naming convention for uglies? American Indian names? Cause I seem to rememeber an Ugly named Commanche.
Title: Re: The newest NTF fighter
Post by: Herra Tohtori on July 22, 2008, 10:58:50 pm: North American indigenous tribes. Although the term "tribe" is not really good term to describe it - ethnic sub-group is more descriptive.
Title: Re: The newest NTF fighter
Post by: Hellstryker on July 22, 2008, 11:40:58 pm: My god, that's too funny. I think I have the basics of UV mapping down now, but I still need to learn how to actually texture the bastard

Edit: here it is if anyone beats me to learning to texture properly

Post by: Excalibur on July 24, 2008, 10:40:40 pm: Looks pretty NTF to me - everytime I see the Herc and the Loki, I think NTF, and this looks like their attempt at a cross between the two...for some reason it looks good...to shoot at ;)
Title: Re: The newest NTF fighter
Post by: Gregster2k on July 26, 2008, 11:13:21 pm: More uglies! More uglies! This stuff is awesome! :lol:
Title: Re: The newest NTF fighter
Post by: Black Wolf on July 27, 2008, 11:52:20 am: Most of the Uglies have been kind of... too ugly for my tastes, with this one the extreme example. What I'd like to see would be some SW style uglies, where you have a functional looking ship produced. Maybe strip the big engine pods off an apollo so all you're left with is the wishbone bit and strap on, I dunno, maybe a sideways ursa engine? Stuff that looks functional, symmetrical would be cool.
Title: Re: The newest NTF fighter
Post by: Colonol Dekker on July 27, 2008, 11:59:46 am: As ugky as it is, it's still not debris field, camouflage ugly... Kinda sleek if you ask me :yes:

Nice title :nervous:

I was thinking about that just now, and the DIE-wing inspired me. Perhaps the central part of an Anubis, subtracting the wings and adding some Apollo arms?
Title: Re: The newest NTF fighter
Post by: Colonol Dekker on July 27, 2008, 04:38:29 pm: What you want are Herc Mk 1 pods strapped to the side of an ERinyes that's had its main bits removed. Or maybe a stripped down Perseus with Ursa Banks.

Title: Re: The newest NTF fighter
Post by: Hellstryker on July 28, 2008, 07:57:42 am: TBH, you've seen most of the tiigran ships made so far. It's the Shivan and GTVA craft that are under lock and key. The "real" Tiigran craft will come later since we're focusing on chapter 1 and testing the demo. On topic, I'd be glad to make more uglies, but as I said, I don't have the time to learn how to texture em ATM, especially since the apollo arm has some added detail. and theres some new polygons altogether.

I have one for you, which I tried to make myself but it didn't work too well. What do you do when you need a bigger ship on a low budget? You start splicing. My Idea was three feneri mixed and matched to make a corvette.

Post by: Mav on July 29, 2008, 03:05:02 pm: That "Choctaw" 's a nice model, I rather like it :) . Nearly seems TOO sleek, new and functional to be a real ugly, though. (nothing bad about that - that's one reason WHY I like it ;) )

I've learned to stay out of the off topic forums period. How can people make much of an ass of themselves talking about Freespace?
You have to try really hard.

Post by: Mav on July 31, 2008, 05:51:21 am: Uh. I don't have too much time right now, so I can't guarantee it, but it'd be about time I learnt real texturing anyway - not just the cut & paste stuff I did on my Nightwing... Just took a first real look at the features of Paint Shop Pro this weekend...

Oh, wait a sec - is it already UVed? I can do UVing a bit, but I'm not too sure with it yet :nervous: .

...so anyway, don't count on me, but I might give it a try if I feel like it - as I said above, I somewhat like the model :) .
But as I'm not sure if I'll do it, that's no reason for others to leave it alone :) .
