Sorry to spoil it for you!

(I can not be held responsible for horrible puns)

Anyway, this was just a joke thing that came out of an IRC conversation.

I see a lot of triangles. I am disappoint.

:wtf:

Post by: Hades on December 09, 2010, 10:14:41 pm: I don't work with them, I just triangulated the mesh to get the total polycount and forget to remove them.

Anyway, this Hermes will have white stripes with mostly red paint. Why? Because then it will go even faster! oh and orange flames on the sides

Black tinted glass.
18inch gold rims.
Chrome rocket exhausts

Hell yeah. Rice my Hermes, yo.

So I installed escape pods on your escape pod.
So you can eject while you eject.

How are textures coming on this?

Post by: Hades on December 11, 2010, 01:36:11 am: After some discussion with VA, I've decided to model the interior of both variants. The Pimpermes (working name, problem? :P) will feature a hot-tub and will have bling countermeasures.

Do that, and make it flyable. I'd be rocking that **** something fierce. :D

Post by: Hades on December 11, 2010, 05:57:42 am: i was also thinking missile pods that fired cane missiles and primaries that shoot diamonds

Post by: Pred the Penguin on December 11, 2010, 07:17:49 am: You could make a campaign out of that pod.
Title: Pimp My Pod (split from HTL Hermes)
Post by: Rodo on December 11, 2010, 08:11:13 am: Well no, but I bet some campaigns will use it.

I know Frakking command would love to fly in one of those.
Title: Pimp My Pod (split from HTL Hermes)
Post by: Commander Zane on December 11, 2010, 08:16:39 am: Terran Frakking Command. :P

I'd say Galatallica as well but it would have a different style to the build.

Replace the engine exhaust with subwoofers.

Make them huge, or else nearby fighters won't be able to hear/feel your bass through all that vacuum.

those whore-us fighters can't run from me anymore
Title: Pimp My Pod (split from HTL Hermes)
Post by: ktistai228 on December 12, 2010, 03:39:58 am: It would actually be nice to add a "sonic weapon" on it and allow us to drive it.
And yes, I know sound does not propagate in space.
Title: Pimp My Pod (split from HTL Hermes)
Post by: Hades on December 12, 2010, 03:41:59 am: I was actually thinking of making some of the speakers turrets and having them shoot sonic missiles (would be regular sonic waves, but visible and homing)

And yeah, it'd be flyable
Title: Pimp My Pod (split from HTL Hermes)
Post by: Ypoknons on December 12, 2010, 07:01:05 am: I was thinking how the first version looks like a 2011 refresh ;7 Like, for all those 30-years-later mods? Realistically, there'd be some differences in the pod's 30+ year run and between goodness knows how many shipyards produce them ;)

Post by: Thaeris on December 12, 2010, 02:08:16 pm: Hades, you need to install a ground effects kit next. Don't forget the running boards. Also, put some scoops on them engines.
