Hey modders, did you ever think:
"Hey, I wonder how many new FS universe related ships and other objects are available to put in my super awesome campaign"
Wonder no more. The answer is 388!
(or so I think)
------------------------------
Anyway. I've been spending far too much time the last two days finishing an old project, and adding articles and links to the User-made ships page on the hard-light wiki. As far as I know, I now have them all. Of course I'm wrong, but after scouring every mod and FSmods.com this is what I found:
111 Fighters
46 Bombers
82 Capital Ships
52 Large Capital Ships
12 Super Capital Ships
38 Installations and Defence Platforms
37 Non-Combatants
10 Other (cargo pods and sentry guns)
You can peruse them all here:
http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/User-made_Ships (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/User-made_Ships)
All wiki pages come with a screenshot and a download link at the bottom. Hopefully the links all still work but who knows.
Though. . .
Be warned! Because many pages include ships and tech descriptions from actual mods, some ships may inadvertently be spoilers for various campaigns. But if you do what I do, and just look at the pictures, it shouldn't be too much problem.
Enjoy.
Now to do something more productive . . .
PS - Oh, if you know of anything AVAILABLE for download, which does not appear on the Wiki list. Let me know (or better yet, add it yourself! hahaha).

I think you're missing the RLFr Margay and it's cargo container. (It's in the same pack as the RLF Panther and RLF Tigris).

Ah yes you're right. Forgot about that guy.
-
There's also another pirate cruiser in ITHOV without a table file. It's a(n) (very) ugly thing though, and it can only be found by digging through its models folder.
Not sure if that even counts :P I only have a retextured version.
-
With other mods like Inferno and Inferno Alliance, Earth Defense, and Blue Planet's War in Heaven that have unannounced content, I'd say the number of ships is over 400. :P
-
Oh right, I don't see the GTC Garm on the list.
I'm pretty sure it was released a while back (if not, ignore me).
-
It was (I have it), but I don't know where to find it.
-
There's also Esarai's Kvasir, that was released relatively recently iirc.
And TrashMan's Aten Mk2 (a modified HLC Defiler with the bottom spike removed and a more conventional beam cannon up front).
-
any chance of getting some super hi res pictures on there? so that i may get up close and personal
-
TSJ Amaterasu.

TSJ Amaterasu.
Oh yeah, I couldn't get the textures to display on this thing. So I didn't bother. Can anyone get a textured screenshot?? I think it's just from BSG reskin like the Odysseus but whatever. I might everything up there anyway.
RLFr Margay + Cargo pods added.

I added the ugly Pirate ship and called it GTC Unknown. I didn't know what it was intended to be. (I added it before you mentioned it . . . hence the GTC designation)

That is true but the User Mod list is only for released content so once WiH and INFSCP and BWO gets out the door we can add those guys to the list. If you can't download it. It doesn't go on the list basically.
Okay GTC Garm. Kvasir and Aten Mk2??? Will look for 'em
-
The HLC Defiler would be the Aten Mk. II under a different name and texture set.
Ignore that.
Damn, that ugly Pirate ship IS ugly. :D
-
No, the Aten Mk II is different. It doesn't have the spike underneath, and it has it's...well mouth area turned into a beam cannon.
-
I just found out. It's an upgunned aten.pof. :P

I know, that's why they're unannounced content. ;)

GTI Asteria (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/GTI_Asteria) is Installation #39
page needs to be spell-check and added to main list though
-
About time that was released. :D

Oops, that means I looked at the older Aten Mk. II. :P
-

It was actually released a year or so ago, on Hades Combine, but since HC died, the download died with it.

Btw. On the subject of the Asteria. Why do 50% of the Terran Installations begin with an A?
Atlantis, Athens, Acheron, Andromeda, Aeglos, etcetera and so on . . . wierd. (no offense :)
-
Because, it follows Arcadia. :p
-
Then shouldn't 50% of the Terran Destoryers begin with an O, and Vasudan Destroyers begin with a T, and Shivan Destroyers begin with a D? :P
-

Hmmn. Probably not. I'm not sure the Wiki guys even appreciate me uploading all these photos.
But it might be something to look into.
Usually, what I would do is download something like PCS2 or just use modelview. Then when you see a thumbnail of a ship that you like, download it and open it up in your program of choice to see if it's as cool as you thought it was.
-
Okay, added:
GTC Garm: http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/GTC_Garm (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/GTC_Garm)
TF Kvasir: http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/TF_Kvasir (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/TF_Kvasir)
anything else?
-
Sweet, the Garm's worth downloading again.
Nevermind it looked like the shine issue was taken care of. :nervous:

I think that's just the colour of the map. But I could be wrong.
Added one more thing I foudn on my HD. An old sentrygun: http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/GTSG_Safat (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/GTSG_Safat)
-
Last time I ever downloaded the Garm its shinyness rivaled BP's Lucifer. :P
Still does it seems.
-
Btw if the list tells people one thing, it's that there's a distinct lack of non-Terran ships out there. Particularly shivans. Though, when it comes to Juggernauts the Shivans are pretty much keeping pace :lol:
Though I guess Terrans are the easiest to model, hence why many people gravitate towards them.
-
Plus you can develop stories with more defined development if two different human factions are fighting.
-
A few notes - the Duat was originally a cruiser IIRC. I upscaled it, added some small amount of detail and re-textures it. Technicly, my version and hte original and completely different ship classes. ...I think.
There's also a few old models of a mine that I really should get up to speed.
The GTB Lightbringer (I have a HTL verison on the HDD but haven't made a new texture for it yet), the NTCv Echelon and the GVF Shrike (same status as Lightbringer)
Hmm...GTFr Sizifus uses a REALLY old image, I'll have to fix that.
Sentry guns are missing entirely.

I put the Sentry Guns in "other". But I don't think I found any that you've made. Though . . . I may not have checked out CotS vps/directories.
I'm sure I'm missing a few anyway.
Feel free to edit or change any of the entries. I just put them up there, I didn't really go through them for spellchecking etcetera. Ones that I'm missing can either be added by other people or have their location made available so I or someone else can add 'em instead. Though I know you're good with adding ships Trashman. When I first started working on this page, pretty much the only ships up there were yours and a few others.
