Title: Post your random ideas for Uglies
Post by: Mad Bomber on September 11, 2008, 10:18:16 pm
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.)

Yeah, I was thinking maybe even an Athena tailfin.

Not in my mind. I was thinking a Fenris with the Sobeks arse fins. And the odd zod armour plate.

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?

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.

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

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.
Title: Re: Post your random ideas for Uglies

Yeah. Those lousy Vasudans use the metric system.

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.

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?

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!'

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.
