Title: Need a good Alien ship model
Post by: Riptide572 on April 14, 2011, 03:39:08 pm

Hey guys, I am working on a little campaign and I need a model for an alien ship. It would not be Shivan, Terran, Vasudan, or Ancient, so it would need somewhat of a unique look and feel to distinguish it as different. It could be anywhere from a destroyer size and up, preferably a super destroyer or juggernaught. It definatly needs weapon points on it as well i would like it to look high tech, as if it's a step beyond Terran and Vasudan technology. I found a bunch of models on the Freespace wiki but many seem antiquated. So far, two that stood out were the Emperor and the TSJ Amaterasu; however, they seem to have a huge laundry list of errors when I try to run them in 3.6.12. Anyone have any suggestions? If so, can you provide links to the model and a picture if it's feasible. Thanks for your time.

Use a recent nightly build, try the Emperor.

Yeah, the Emperor's a good choice.

Or the Hertak Armageddon/Flagship (though those kinda have a Shivan-ish vibe, and might not look tech-y enough unless you fiddle with the textures)

If you didn't need a juggernaught, I'd say the Adesya (or somesuch - the translucent one) from Wings of Dawn would be a good choice. It's probably the most unique ship in any FS mod today.

You should ask Spoon for the [REDACTED], which is an Adasya on crack with a dash of Axem, if you want something like that.

Or... this (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=73561.msg1498941#msg1498941)? :P

Also, that blue WoD ship that - I think it was - Andrew released.

I think Droid is referring to the FSGF Arbiter which was seen in one of the trailers for WoD2, not the Hecatos. Besides, the Hecatos is only half the length of the Orion which isn't what he's looking.

...though, if I finish the Ketran dreadnought, perhaps he could use that.  :nervous:

Oops, I didn't mean that Droid was suggesting the Hecatos. But if it's too small anyway, then never mind.

Tis okay. Besides, my vote is on the Azoth anyhow. FreeSpace needs more alien slimes that possess lolis trilaterally symmetrical ships to begin with.  :D
