Title: My UGLIEST SHIP YET!!!
Post by: Stryke 9 on July 12, 2002, 11:46:51 pm
To celebrate my return to RDS. You know, it really is about as good as 3DS MAX, now that I have double the CPU to handle it...

The text is taken from my archive site, which goes up tomorrow.

Tabral Courier

An example of the Tabral courier design, this vessel, codenamed "Harpy", is about average for a small, single-family transport in its capabilities- it travels at about 2 kps, can turn 73* in a second, carries no weapons, and features supplies and space enough to support a family of five somewhat tightly for a week before the ship must stop off at the nearest Tabral supply craft (SEE: Tabral Supply Craft). It should be noted that these are only average measures, and that due to the fact that Tabral nomad vessels are hand-made from scrap found in space (or stripped from any vessel too slow to evade Tabral salvagers), no two are really alike beyond a few apparently standard features.

Eh? Aw, crap, I was hoping it would be my one (well, one of two) ship that looked like nothing at all!

Rusty corrugatted iron on a space ship?  :lol: I think that might be a little oversalvaged. And is that a door opening on the inside of thecurve there? :D Still, the tex look very nice, and the model is :yes:.

That looks awesome. The design is very unique and the texture certainly makes it look salvaged... Good work. :cool:

The neck is triangular, and thicker than it looks from this angle.

And yes, that is a door. Of sorts. Opens to a buncha piping, and held there by a couple metal braces, but sort of a door.

I'm not going to dignify that with an answer. Wait a minute, I just did... forget it then. I never said anything to you. Except for that. Don't forget to forget that... wait a minute, I didn't answer with that either. Forget I said to forget... aaw screw it.

The funny thing is that it's so true, and that you had no idea it resembled a tool like that.  ^^;
