He never released it AFAIK.  Unofrtunately, it's near impossible to coax him out of his hermit-like exstence, so I can't tell tell you if he's using it, scrapped it, etc.  Maybe some of the staffers on ther same campaign as him will know.

the apollo mk2 is used in his campaign ( arsenal of darkness ), and don't dream, he won't give it to you :p

Dark really has some good stuff, but he never released anything.

And by the way, where is the web-site for his campaign?

y'know, this campaign that the ever-so-mysterious dark is working would probably be nothing short of amazing if his models are anything to go on by..Try this (http://www.wild666.freeserve.co.uk/2nd%20Preview.htm)

One day Dark may emerge....and produce the most fantastic thing you've ever seen....buy he has to come out in the sunlight first.

Title: Apollo Mark II
Post by: Setekh on April 16, 2002, 09:18:42 am

That much is beyond doubt. Seriously, I just wish he would come out and do something... he's amazingly productive when he puts his mind to something. Boy, you guys should have seen the number he did on the MT ships... amazing.

GHLEAD(14:07:22): Dark, CD isn't that original and EF is just another one of those return-to-earth missions. GH is much better than both, but we need more modellers.

In a few words; I got a job. ^_^

I'm still giving my little pet-project for FS my best shot, but coming home feeling utterly drained doesn't help.

As to the 'Apollo Mk2' yep it's still here, but that's just the name the Alliance initally uses for it.

they kinda remind me of the Dark (<-ironic) Breed ships I did, but bluer, and more angular,
that destroier also looks a lot like an anime ship of some sort

I am actually very glad you came to that conclusion, as that's the general style I'm aiming for.

If any part of that destroyer does seem familliar, I'd suggest it was the big ring. It's based on the ship from an old (but still pretty neat IMHO,) cartoon Ulysses 31.
The first design of the capital was rather bland and needed that special something to make it a little more unusual.

Title: Apollo Mark II
Post by: Nico on April 17, 2002, 02:52:04 pm

ghhh... I'm still not sure about the design for the appollo mk2 (sorry, I have something against the "Batwing" cockpit ), but the maps.... raaaaaaaaaaaaaah, one day i'll be able to do the same, i swear.
Oh, btw, in the FS2 forum, someone asked what was people most favourite mod. He was talking about campaigns, but I'll take it "modelwise", and I'll say your interceptor is the best FS2 ship design I've ever seen, period.

edit: forgot a word (cockpit) :p

And I must say those models are as impressive as any of yours I've seen - keep up the good work when you can :)

Post by: Grey Wolf on April 17, 2002, 03:47:19 pm

So the "Apollo Mk. II" is actually the Warlock? So no one will care if I make my OWN Apollo Mk. II?

BTW, here's the concept pic I'm basing it on:

Where else do you think I got it from? The only reason it's in the GTD Wolf dir is because Geocrap won't allow linking to outside sites.

Now, I wonder if I'll ever be that good.... :p

That destroyer drawing is definitely V quality work. Do you plan to have any of these ships in your campaign?

Title: Apollo Mark II
Post by: neo_hermes on April 17, 2002, 10:32:32 pm

the destroyer reminds me of something from the Transformers movie. Galvatron's (megatron) starship. good movie.

Robert Wild........been almost 4 years since we last spoke. It's good to know your alive and well. I always knew your works would acell. Especially with the anime-istic ships u created bro. Nice job. I guess it would be safe to say that with his modeling skills, as well as whats going on in the comunitites around FS2 and the source code, something SERIOUS is about to go down......

anyways its been years and I doubt you rememeber who I am. well you a long time ago created a ship orion name plate called "USTAD Millennium" AND "USTAD Armageddon" when i first started moding back in 98', 99'. if that doesnt ring a bell just ask me some stuff. it be nice ot catch up with you.

I was not Dissing em its an AWSOME model, what I was trying to say is I think it looks Two diffrent to be an apollo if the color scheme was more apolloey then i would change my mind.

you dont see that fighter that lockhead is makng to replace the Harrier being called Harrier 2 just coz its a jumpjet. The actual harrier is into its MK5 i think.

Is that scull on the back of the warlock from warhammer 40k. ?

Yes it's true, Dark has not lost his touch after all of these years ;)

Now I just feel guilty for asking him to do trivial things like the PVI Karnak when I should have been wise enough to ask to help him on AoD instead for things like mission design, etc...
