Title: and now, the SF Hydra :)
Post by: Nico on June 28, 2001, 01:49:00 pm
still on a request by Apothess, and still from a volition concept (this one:
   (http://www.hiddenterror.f2s.com/pictures/Concept.jpg)    ), here is the SF hydra, a little, fast, lighly hulled and shielded ship, not a threat on its own, but deadly in pack:

   (http://www.hiddenterror.f2s.com/pictures/hydra.jpg)  

I need to work a little more on the maps, coz it doesn't look much like the one on the concept pic this way.

I have too  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) about 5 other shivans ships  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
but the next one is a vasudan... something, a bomber I suppose.

Anything like this one  (copyright Volition, etc);

  (http://www.freespace2.com/images/concept_art/vasb3.jpg)  

(hope there isn't a (c) problem with showing this)

I wanted to make something similar, from a concept pic not on the   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/v.gif) website   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Well, the vasudan bomber is almost certainly what became the Bakha advanced bomber, and that shivan bomber concept drawing is probably an origional design for the Seraphim.
Title: and now, the SF Hydra :)
Post by: Nico on June 28, 2001, 02:37:00 pm
nope, another one. a long one, very thin in the middle. I won't post the pic, coz I don't think DC would be happy I take the place of the HT site for something not related at all with HT. the file is called Crlm02, I suppose it's a FS1 credit pic.

edit: I was answering to aldo there   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

yeah, that's one of the two terran fighters I plan to makie, the other one is one with big round reactors on it's back, it's shown on the volition website I think.
Title: and now, the SF Hydra :)
Post by: morris13 on June 28, 2001, 02:45:00 pm
That terran ship looks a lot like a Zeus, specially in the back.
Title: and now, the SF Hydra :)
Post by: Nico on June 28, 2001, 02:47:00 pm
for me, it's an ursa with horizontal thrusters and the missile racks more on the side.

Post by: StarGunner on June 28, 2001, 02:54:00 pm
Will these be in game soon so I can Test them I like to do that.

fighters can't have turrets.. and yes that does look like a spliced Ursa and Zeus.

That's why it's a bomber...

And who says you can't put bomber in the tags, but give it the specs of a fighter? Nothing stopping you...

I think it looks like a cross between a Sekhmet and a Bakha.

And that Terran bomber thingy looks like a Medusa to me.

If you look at the 3d models on the webpage, the Hydra has a little face, with wee eyes and a mouth....AWWWW CUTE!!!

reminds me of a boo from mario or summat (now theres a ship idea  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif))

Seriously, jolly good ships there - I like the Succubus (sp?) best.

Doesn't that hurt the AI speed a bit with all those turrets?

mmh, look carefully at the begining of the thread... No, more carefully! yeah, that's it: Apothess request! Guess what? He sent me the pic, with the name on it, and he told me he wanted it to be called this way. A SF hyfra is different from a TAwhatever capship Hydra, no?
Oh, well, that's just a detail so...

Post by: Apothess on July 02, 2001, 12:20:00 pm
The reason i called it the Hydra was because i wanted a Dragon MK2 and hydra is a mutliheaded Dragon and at the time i didn't know about the MT Hydra.
