Title: been a while since I made a fighter
Post by: Ryx on May 26, 2002, 10:12:49 am
I textured the cockpit to make it easier to see it. If I texture it, I will Redo the those maps. :sigh:

Here's an idea I've been considering.
space superiority / hit & run attack vessel. basically speed and agiltiy of the perseus (somehow :rolleyes: ), but with missle banks designed to hold 2 - 4 helios (no other type of missles. Maybe dumbfire), or something. Get in - deliver payload - get out.

I think I need some more extrusions, though.

Looks more like it would be something of a gunboat...like a Skipray Blastboat or something. Not a fighter. Kinda reminds me (somehow :rolleyes: ) of that monster of a bomber that they're using in BWO.

hmm... only thing that bothers me is that cocpit... should it really be a... sphere... why don't you try other forms too.... just in case :)

I may slim the cockpit down, but it stays for now. I'll look into it, tho. :)

I like it, the cockpit is a bit strange indeed, but it isn't bad. The model is also different and it's good. :nod::yes:

intresting, intresting....:yes:

I like the helios idea, but i think a bomber as manuverable as a perseus which only carries huge torpedoes would be a waste of manuverablity.
Give it a high top speed however, say 75m/s and boost to 155ms with good afterburner reserves.
Kind of like a strike/assult bomber, fast but powerful.

That looks like one mean fighter. Kinda reminds me of something out of Star Wars.

I think it would look better with either a Perseus, or Athena-style cocpit.

Well I actually like the cockpit, it gives it a sort of exotic look. A very nice model, very FSish ;)

Cool ship, but I also think the cockpit doesn't fit the style of the rest of the ship...

Nice ! :)
But don't forget that you'll need some HUGE launchers to handle the Helios. :nod:

Anything besides the cockpit.. err.. issue that I should look at?

If not then I'll put the untextured one up for download later today. :)
Then You can worry about texturing it. :p

As I did these maps, it occured to me, that I suck @ PS :D
more practise, I guess

i think its sick. maybe add some "spikey extrusions" on the sides.

It reminds me of the Star Wolf Ships (first set) in Star Fox 64
