Title: GVS Nephthys [WIP]
Post by: Oddgrim on May 21, 2013, 10:40:09 am
Needed a bit of time off on the anuket so the zod support vessel is a good choice. So far the mesh is 80% done much of the detailing is done and hoping before long to start mapping.

You made me frakking like a frakking idiot ship which I frakking cursed in the frakking mission Bearbaiting where you destroy the frakking beam turrets of a frakking sathanas. You are to be frakking commended for your frakking awesome modelling and frakking fast frakking vasudan designing speed. Frak, well done.

well the hole docking-undocking process is quite slow and tedious so...

Nice work on the support ship! Appreciate it :yes:
but wasn`t the ship unmanned or am i just wrong? Cause the terran craft were.   :nervous:

We aren't sure how you have done it but you are hereby promoted to the rank of Rear MODELLER (We think you cheated.)

Seriously, dude, like you just started the model 2 days before and now I see it almost complete on my birthday (not that am I complaining of course). :yes:
Thanks for this birthday gift BTW.  :D

Quick question :

Am I blind or I am really not seeing the exhausts on those two ends of the ship ?

but wasn`t the ship unmanned or am i just wrong? Cause the terran craft were.   :nervous:

Well it never came to my mind whether the Nepthys is unmanned or not, although the Scarab in Freespace 1 was surely unmanned.
And what do you mean by terran craft? I don't remember any terran craft being unmanned.  :confused:

well then im wrong.
i thought they abandoned the habit to have pilot on support ship after the great war.
dunno where i got that idea anyhow  :confused:

I think the engine is between the arms, rather than on those two protuberances on the arms (they look like they could be ammo hoppers to me).

And what do you mean by terran craft? I don't remember any terran craft being unmanned.  :confused:
Amazon and Amazon Advanced, maybe? Not what he was referring to, but those two are drones.

Anyway, I do think this is looking very good so far. :)

Drones were only used in training simulator modules in Freespace 2 (they were removed from manufacturing phase). So they were no unmanned terran craft in Freespace 2.  :)

....... Except GTNB Pharos of course.  :rolleyes:

Great model!

Pretty sure support ships are manned since their pilots talk to you when you order them to rearm your craft.

Oddgrim: Great job! Even before you can post to show that you have completed the shine maps and normal maps, I saw them in p3d.  :p

So when are you going to release it ?  :)

Or.... They're teleoperated, and the "pilot" flies the support ship from a console onboard a nearby destroyer.

More progress on the model, added a bit more detail on the back and redesigned the docking point underneath.

Dayum! It's a shame that you will see that model so rarely in the game.

Speak for yourself, you would love to ram a trebuchet up the engine subsystem don't you? :p

Makes one wonder what went through :v:'s mind when designing this... Anyway, congratulations Oddgrim, she's a beauty!

Beauty of a ship, and for the record I don't think there are many ships left in the Freespace catalog that haven't had a few sexual references made of them.
