I'm starting this thread as both an idea warehouse and a show-off thread for Uglies -- ships which are patchwork monstrosities made of random parts, and are usually used by pirates. Feel free to post your own model pics, or even just poorly-drawn ideas (like mine :p).
The naming convention so far has been that of Native American (First Nation) tribes. Other suggestions are welcome.
Already taken by completed or in-progress models are:
- Cherokee
- Yurok
- Navajo
- Comanche
- Seminole
- Choctaw
-
So. Since I can't model, I'll start things off by putting these three crappy-looking MSPaint mock-ups here instead.
UTF Ojibwa:
This one's not a completed idea, really. Those white circles are where guns are supposed to go, but I couldn't find a subassembly that looked right. Also I couldn't settle on a left wing.
(http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q383/Suralin/Ojibwa.jpg)
UTF Zuni:
Yeah, I know. It looks horrible. Hopefully, though, the idea comes across.
(http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q383/Suralin/Zuni.jpg)
UTB Lakota:
Another horrible monstrosity using parts from a TVWP Mustang-Beta and an Amun.

I like the Ojibwa, is it intended to have a very high speed? It sure looks like it. IMO the left wing should be a Myrmidon, Perseus, Valkyrie or Angel wing. But, hey, it's your ship.
The Zuni looks okay, too. Not sure about the Lakota, I think we need another angle. (Which would be a bit hard considering you did it in Paint.)
-
Fenris / Sobek hybrid please :lol:

Yeah, I was thinking maybe even an Athena tailfin.

Forthcoming.

Fenris / Sobek hybrid please :lol:
Caps not valid?

Sure they are. I'll come up with something when I return home tonight.
-
Yeah... And then i'll turn it into somthing uglier than the auxiliary ass garlic :p The Choctaw was originally supposed to be the Ojibwa you know...
-
orion/Hatsheput
-
The Zuni would make an awesome normal fighter with a proper new skin.
-
Fenris / Sobek hybrid please :lol:
That would look like some kind of armored dildo.
-
Not in my mind. I was thinking a Fenris with the Sobeks arse fins. And the odd zod armour plate.
-
Lucifer/Orion
-
Seraphim/Colossus, please.
-
What?
I was serious with the Lucifer-Orion... The entire front have kinda made it through to Sol. Wouldn't they try to...you know, make it work again?
-
Hercules and a Basilisk.
If guys are lost in space and all they have to scavenger are dead shivans then why not?
-
Disassemble three Feneri and slap them back together to make a weird corvette, maybe adding parts sticking out from fighters and bombers and whatever else might come in usefull.
-
What?

Because . . . . it exploded?
-
weld a whole pile of Erinyes back-to-back-to-back and give it Kaysers and a sentry gun AI.
-

And broke into many tiny glowing yellow pieces. It's still perfectly usebue.
-
I don't know if a fusion of Vasudan and Terran craft is an appropriate idea(UTB Lakota). The parts are too complex for pirates and such to be put together and find the exact compatability.
-
Yeah. Those lousy Vasudans use the metric system.
-
Yeah. Those lousy Vasudans use the metric system.
NYARGH! Damn them and their system that actually makes -sense-
Nah, theres a few interesting uglys I can think of... Athena/Horus? ;) The problem is, the HTL Horus isn't done yet... :(
-
Yeah. Those lousy Vasudans use the metric system.
Some stuff would be so much easier when you Americans would adapt to... say, the rest of the world. But no...
-
It's a joke, dude.
-

It's a death star!
-
The ideal cruiser is a ship with Erinyes armed with Kaysers, Maxims and Trebuchets. And the Erinyes have to be skewered onto a lollipop so that they can turn almost 360 degrees.

:lol:
-
so, how's the Zuni coming? :p i like t for unknown reasons...
-
It's as far as it's going to go at the moment. As I said before, it's just a drawing in Paint. I can't model.
If you or someone else wants to model it, though, then by all means. I'd love to see the results.
Also, if someone else wants to post pictures of their ideas in this thread, please do.
-
What if you weld a Myrmidon, Perseus, Pegasus, Ares, Hercules I & II, Apollo, Valkyrie, Loki, Ursa, Boanerges, Athena, Zeus, Medusa, Fenris, Deimos, Leviathan, Sathanas, Colossus and a Hecate together?
-

Katamari Damacy.
Eh?
I think my idea got lost amongst all the nonsense.
-
GTF Erie, Stealth fighter. Pegasus/Horus/Athena hybrid. *waits and drools whilst looking at HTL Horus*

:wakka:
The squirt gun of buggy doom.
-
how about a ball of scrap meatal covered in as many guns/turrets/beams as they could find.
-
Why not glue together some cruisers to form a modular destroyer...? :drevil:
/me imagines an 4x4x4 cube of Leviathans docked together, amplified with Mjölnirs in between...
Also, make a Sobek with Psamtik's frontal module. Or replace the Sobek's midship with a Rakshasa... That'd be a sight.
-
At least herras ideas are doable.. come on people, stop acting like idiots :rolleyes: I'm not going to model you guys a random ball of scrap or a sathlossus and I'll probably do only half the ships mentioned here as it is...
-
I think my Myrmidon, Perseus, Pegasus, Ares, Hercules I & II, Apollo, Valkyrie, Loki, Ursa, Boanerges, Athena, Zeus, Medusa, Fenris, Deimos, Leviathan, Sathanas, Colossus and a Hecate idea is actually good. Just, say, an Orion fixed up with random crap you find or scavenge after battles. Well, it will transform into a giant bastard literally shouting 'kiilll meee... pleaase!'
-
No.
-
Fenris / Sobek hybrid please :lol:
Ladies and moderators, i give you.
*NON AUDIBLE DRUMROLL*
The Sobris (named cos it sounds like sobre, which is a testament to me :D )
Non-functional purely entertainment value.
Twin barrelled supah awacs :p

-
Ugly right? Do i get a trophy? ;7
-
You should have made it fit better...it looks like you just slapped the two on top of each other and re sized stuff.
-
:nod: you wanted the mona lisa i assume?
Nah srsly, when i tried welding verts in TS5 it wiped half he sobek. So i'll try again later. :lol:
-
I thought my Basilisk/Herc idea is not a bad one, though not necessarily all that exciting. Or heck you could cut the end of a Leviathan off, and throw it on the back end of an Aten. 6 AAAf beams, that'd be brutal.

WHAT in God's name is this abomination?!
-
More ugly pics from everyone please. :nod: use PCS2 to export as cob then use TS if you're unsure how to obtain the models. (helps if you extract all the textures and convert them to .bmp)
-
Was I the only one who noticed the "GTD Orion" Nameplate? :p Seriously dekker, that goes beyond ugly. That's like the capship variant of an AAG
-
The Sobris does indeed outdo the AAG. :P
-
Do you mean like "the city of aaaaaaaghhhhh..."
-
I mean look at my title.. it's a long story
-
We're patient people :) about the Orion title . . .ummm
*runs away hops in his Sobris and flies into a ditch
-
And that is why you only fly a sobris whilst sober... *dances on top of dekkers corpse*
-
How's this: Perseus front, Myrmidon wings and body and Boanerges rear?
-
For the record, the models are in the sparky_fs2 vp.
-
but the high poly ones (like above,) are in assets.vp in the media vps folder :)
-
best to build them with the sparky, then if they're ok, build them with HTL
-
Titan, do you have any idea how much of a waste of time that would be? Besides, NO ONE uses normal models anymore.
-
oh... i gotta keep my trap shut. :blah:
i thought it would be easier to set them up with the normal models... sorry.
-
Don't worry T-Bone (that's your new street gang nickname by the way) it's all good in the Hard-Light-Hood.....
*engages in hip-hop / Yardie style handshake with T-Bone
So any uggers to beat my cruis-vette?
-
... :wtf:
-
WTF? These should have gone in whatever happens in your life...
I'll get right on that..
Edit- images removed.
-
Come on, someone make the Sathlossus
That would be awesome
-
I can see it forming in my mind now. . .
-
I'm going to make an ultra low poly parody sathlossus if you people keep it up... maybe we can use it for JAD l00l
-
:bump:
Anyone going to try making any of these ideas as POFs? Or some other sort of Ugly perhaps?
-
I'll see what i can do :D
Placeholder
Ok, for anyone who want's to make the Sathlossos, here's a.SCN file with both the supercaps.
I'm focused on figures and numbers right now, my berain literally cannot think in more than two dimensions. (X colomn and Y Column, damn Excel)

If I ever get back into modeling. And i'm still obligated to finish the HTL Tiigran fighters and your Chalgasi ships
-
That's, ah, kinda why I put this thread up, so other people could model the ideas if they wanted to.
