Title: Another ship...
Post by: Anaz on July 09, 2002, 12:46:46 pm

This time it is a light fighter, interceptor probably. The only problem is I can't figure out what to add to it. It is very low poly right now (105) and needs some serious improvement, so, here you go:

nice big barrelled guns, missile racks, and tail fins

add all those and do a good job with them and you'll end up with somewhere around 300 polys, good design btw

Good job so far :) I think maybe the top needs to be less flat.

gotta figure out something to put on the top first...

oh, the missile banks shoot out two dumbfire rockets, two come from each of the two big pointy-out-thingys on the front

What do u have on the bottom?  Make it an extremely fast interceptor with thrusters on top ans bottom.

Slap a single turret on the top square-- model some gun barrels into the leading edges of the wings-- most of the detail could be done with texturing.

I added the guns under the main hull, the wing tips are for missiles, and a turret on a light interceptor seems kinda weird, but I'll try it

Nice model.  Reminds me a little of that Vasudan transport (Isis? I think :confused: ).  

Anyway, the angles remind me of the F-117a Nighthawk (stealth fighter).

You might could make a MODified version of it as a stealth bomber since FS2 doesn't seem to have one.  The angle of the top would be a great way of logically explaining how bombs could be carried without detection.  The angle of the "wings" deflects the sensors.  I know, kind of weak premise, but something to work from.

How about the GTVA inventing a possible way of defeating multiple Sathanas class vessels:  Have a stealth "bomber" drop a toned-down version of a meson bomb near its hull.  Once the bomber had cleared the area...WHAMMO!


It wouldn't be all that unbalanced because you would still need a diversion to draw fighters away from the attack angle of the bomber.  Maybe have to take out subsystems on the Sathanas (weapons, sensors) before it would work, too.

Anyway, good work.

thanks for all the comments!!!

In my Big Secret Project™, its a light raider fighter, and having a stealth version of it would be cool!

Isis...yeah...now that I think about it...it does look a bit like the isis...
