Title: Taiidan Heavy Cruiser -> GTCv Phobos
Post by: Rampage on May 12, 2002, 06:39:03 pm

I have fully converted the model file of the Taiidan Heavy Cruiser into trueSpace.  I'm currently working on the turrets and will plan to release the Heavy Cruiser to TAP and the GTCv Phobos (Same model, different textures.) to the Freespace 2 community.  I'll post some screenshots as soon as I'm done.

P.S. - If I give full credit to Sierra for the model and not use the model for profit, their lawyers won't contact me, hopefully.

i used to think conflicting names mattered, but i really dont anymore, there are so many mods out there that many names are repeated already, i've heard of atleast 2, if not 3 Chimeras.

Little note about the Heavy Cruiser.......

If any of you have played HW, the Taiidan Heavy Cruiser has firepower rivaling the Colossus. Four ion turrets on the front give it a good march-in-and-kill ability.

Basically, "when a Heavy Cruiser shows up on the scene, things get really quiet, really fast"

I intended for this to be a corvette.  It will be a counterpart to the Deimos.  It will lack the sufficient firepower to defend itself but will rip a hole in an enemy ship.

Yes.  I understand.  As mentioned above, it will consist of four beam cannons, though not as heavy as the BFGreen. (I'm going to implant the SGreen for the forward beam turrets and the TerSlash for the lateral beam turrets.)

Maybe not an enemy destroyer, but it could vaporize a Deimos quire easily.

By the way, if I can't call it the Phobos, I'll call it the Ceres.  I take that name so no one else can take it after me.

Spot the person who's learned the manual!! :D:D

Has anyone modelled the Taiidan Ion Cannon Frigate yet?

Ceres as in the GTI Ceres, the GTVA outpost in BWO? :p

I don't care if you call it that, though... :D

Well, I have converted the Taiidan Ion Cannon and added Turonic Raider Array panels to make the Gorgon Cannon.  Check out my other thread that nobody visits. :p

P1mp! :D:D

Anyways, I prefer the Taiidan design. It looks cooler! :D

Ahh, but Kushans ships look a lot tidier. JUst look at multigun corvettes, the Taiidan ones are all over the place, whereas its Kushan counterpart looks like a neatly rounded pebble.

Yes, we have it working ingame with turrets, engine glows, subsystems etc.

And yes, the Tai ships look much cooler than kushan ones. Except the Kushan destroyer, it look just like the Babylon 5 Warlock destroyer.

Tai = Better looking CAP ships
Kush = Better looking strikecrafts

The Kushan mothership isn't bad either (Qua design that is).

Excellent... the turrets on that thing have been giving me a headache...

HomeWorld is just so cool....Yesterday i played a game, filled my carrier whit fighters and corvettes and it's escort was 2 destroyers 2 missile destroyers and 3 ion cannon frigates a heavy cruiser and 2 assault frigates and finaly 2 gravity wells. Damn that was a big battle lost 95% of my forces, but i manged to destroye the main fleet only needed to kill the mothership that required some reinforcements but i was victorius !:) battle took almost a hour. But it was fun as hell.

try this for an interesting tactic for HW, fully load up a carrier with fighters & corvettes and hyperspace it along with as many HC's and destroyers as one could muster, right in front of the opposing mothership.  Works rather well, the resulting chaos ensures that you have a chance against a well defended enemy.

I happened to make a cross between the Taiidan Ion Cannon Frigate and the Raider Ion Array Frigate.  And I called it -- "The Gorgon Array"!

I should also have a complete model of the Taiidan Ion Frigate.  If I do, I'll make a POF out of it and send it to you.

A thousand thank yous! :D:D:D

I'll make it bigger, and we have a giant beam cannon platform! :D:D
