My mapped version of the GTB Notus using a 1024*789 map.


Unfortunately converting to 256 colours doesn't look good...

I'll keep trying to finally get this beast in game :D

Redid it a bit, looked bad as my reg settings where set to 512 for maximum map size, upped it to 1024 and it looks far better :)

Yep! It's a bomber all right! :nod:

I love it, great work - especially now you've sorted out the settings and stuff (at first the maps look blurred).

The model is basically done now, just needs a few texture tweaks and final pof data...

Only one way to find out ;) :D

Post by: Razor on May 20, 2002, 12:50:27 pm
That may be difficult. Moloch is so pathetic that Shivan kids now use it as a mean of transportation from one play ground to the other.

If taht thing carries those big bombs, you will need a bigger support ship or you will have to call about ten of them at the same time for just one reload. Better watch on how you are gonna use those bombs kids.

Well don't worry you have backup so you won't need to rearm hopefully :)
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: Razor on May 29, 2002, 04:37:20 pm
Oh yeah. Shivans are in trouble. Shivans wove diapers.

Now, that thing behind the bomber, is that some uber super shivan capital or just one of those new Shrike's experiments for taking over the world?
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: Woomeister on May 29, 2002, 04:40:44 pm
That's the Gargant...
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: Razor on May 29, 2002, 04:54:21 pm
Well that's nothi.......WHAAAAAAAAAAAA IT'S THE GARGHANT! :eek:

Boy, you really freak me out dude. First the uber super big bomber and now the freaking big ship. .jaw:

Whoa, whenever I see those big ships from inferno I just gotta go and watch horror movies just to calm myself down.

Luckily for you, you'll won't have to fight it. :D

Why not?

And by the way, what's the point in sending a bomber to "take down" a ship that is invincible. May I remind you that you made it that way.

Oh.. that one. Well the answer is quite logical.
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: Woomeister on May 29, 2002, 05:37:09 pm
It can be damaged, just no Inferno ship is tough enough to take it out.

U r nuts... Probably about 1,234,423... repeat me if i'm wrong woomaister..

Anyway... Great to put good old Ursa back to work... Ehm... Only a "little bit" stronger...and bigger... :D
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: LtNarol on May 30, 2002, 04:05:17 pm
how many trebs you ask? more than you can count.  Even with Helios, you're probably looking at thousands.
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: Woomeister on May 30, 2002, 05:13:29 pm
An Armogeddon bomb does less than 1 percent damage...screw the trebs :D
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: LtNarol on May 30, 2002, 05:44:26 pm
and how much does an armaggedon do compared to a helios?
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: Woomeister on May 30, 2002, 05:49:58 pm
1 bomb does around 95% damage to a Sathanas and destroys every fighter and bomber in the shockwave radius...
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: LtNarol on May 30, 2002, 06:33:44 pm
so one Armageddon is about the same as 10 Helios...wow

As long as the bomb doesn't get shot down and you turn and hit your burners you'll survive every time. The AI won't stand a chance though as they like following the bomb to its target :D
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: Skippy on May 31, 2002, 02:01:31 pm
So the pilot will be alone after the bomb explode ? Cool :D :yes:
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: Razor on May 31, 2002, 02:31:12 pm
Well to make sure it delivers it's payload, boost up the hit points and the bomb will survive, untill impact. :wink:
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: Woomeister on May 31, 2002, 04:27:13 pm
bombs don't have hp and I'm not giving the Notus more HP than the Sath :D
The bomb is very fast moving and can be fired from a distance, also the current version doesn't require aspect lock :)
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: StarGunner on May 31, 2002, 04:34:18 pm
Hay nice ship!:jaw:  You all are makeing great stuff! Dose it have a name?
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: Woomeister on May 31, 2002, 04:41:58 pm
The bomber?
GTB Notus.
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: Razor on May 31, 2002, 04:51:16 pm
Why 1000000 hit points on the bomber?

OK, I will arm the Poseidon freighter with 10000000 hitpoints then :p
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: Woomeister on May 31, 2002, 05:00:11 pm
The Notus has 1000 HP :p
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: Skippy on June 01, 2002, 12:53:19 pm
Only 1000 ? I thought more :D :wink:
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: Woomeister on June 02, 2002, 04:03:43 pm
Shouldn't need more, though I have to check how well it does against the stronger Ancient fighters...
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: Razor on June 04, 2002, 02:51:12 am
Well I think that W-man likes to play too much with hitpoint count, now doesn't he? :lol:

I had a Daiblo once at about 10 000 000 000. No really, and I had a beam that did about 5000 dammage. Even after an hour of firing, Diablos hull was unscratched. Boy, what are the limits with the hitpoint count anyway?
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: Woomeister on June 04, 2002, 05:59:40 am
Very high limts :D

That's good. There are infinately many numbers. Think of the possibilities. And now you say that a ship with 1000000000000 is invincible.

:ha: Try better!
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: LtNarol on June 04, 2002, 06:08:15 pm
It is if all your beams only do 1000 and you best bombs only do 2000.  Unless of course you're some FS2 fanatic who likes to make missions in fred with a few dozen sathanas tearing away at the Garagant and leave for a day, come back and it might be down 10%.
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: Woomeister on June 05, 2002, 05:07:38 am
The Icanus is the only ship that can even damage it. But against the Gargant, even the Icanus won't last long...
Title: The Beast is Back...
Post by: Su-tehp on June 12, 2002, 02:40:50 am
:jaw:

I thought that pic of the Notus dwarfing that Hygeia reloading ship was bad, but discussing the Apocalypse bombs that can take a Sathanas down to 95% in one shot? And these bombs won't even scratch a Garghant?

Geez, methinks you all are about as mentally stable as a malfunctioning gyroscope...

Maybe that's why I like you guys so much! :D

God, it's so nice to have people who I can relate to! :):D

Keep up the good work, guys. I can't wait to see the final product! :nod:
