Title: One BIG MF
Post by: Riven on June 06, 2002, 10:22:15 am
This is a very early render of an idea for a ship. It is inspired by the Peace Keeper Command Carrier from the TV series Farscape. And this is gona be one big MF. Maybe not inferno size but i'm toying with the idea of a carrierhanger! And this aint gona be a station, oh no, its gona be one very slow moving giant. If i eva do finish the model then i may do a campaign (i have already decided how this ship could come about to be produced).

Anyone's creative input? (the textures are just to give the model form)

Seeing this reminds me of an other, very big, star ship.
The Magok Worlds Ship. Shown in Andomeda. Don't know if the Series has the same name in other countries.
But think of it. 12 Hollow Planets and a sun conected to one big ship!
The Sun in the middle gives you enough power to use even the biggest weapon and the 12 Planets makes sure that you always have enought troops. Damm if the FS engine could handle a such huge objekt I would like to see it in game.

if it has an r in it yes, we use the same name, if not no.

I see the connection but I would prefer you see the actual command carrier from Farsacpe (and see how those massive (well they 'seem' massive) guns work they used when 'they' escaped at first)

i dont like how the major intersection points are just, one peice clipping through another peice.... that needs a little work... add some neccessities like docking points, repair beam points, and maybe even weapons... its a good start though

Like i said this is just a quick idea it only took 30mins so needs much more work.

I'm not exactly sure what you are refering to (i missed the last episode dammit) but i think you mean what i call the star cannons. I have made these and a smaller fighter version. They are very fast and very powerful but take a long time to charge up. If i can find the weapons table i'll post it for you so you can tell me what you think.

Does any1 know a good website for Farscape screenies?:confused: I have one episode on tape of when this MF gets blown up. It's got some good views but i have to keep rewinding because there's only about 7 secs of it.

I didn't bother to check the search results but take a peek at my quick google search (http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&querytime=fE8k0B&q=farscape+screencaps).
