Title: The GTDn Odin
Post by: Grey Wolf on August 03, 2002, 06:37:30 pm: Originally modeled for the NW game here at HLP, I decided to put it into FS2. I'm putting it in at about 3 KM long.

I could use some help with textures though.

Post by: Grey Wolf on August 03, 2002, 07:09:10 pm: It's sort of a next-gen ship, with a lot of Vasudan influence.

Here you go, Anon, in all of it's 300-odd faceted glory.

Post by: karajorma on August 04, 2002, 04:48:56 am: Vasudan. There's no way that's a terran ship :)

I tend to agree with the both of those. It could be Terran though if a few more Terrany (is that a word :doubt: ) features were added. Not many, just a few.

I like it though. :) And it probably would look more Terran anyway once turrets have been added and it's mapped.

Post by: Grey Wolf on August 04, 2002, 08:50:21 am: Hmmm....
Maybe I'll do it as a Terran/Vasudan hybrid, similar to the Collosus, but with a better weapon setup and looking less like a water gun....

Yeah, that would work.

terranic.......

and by the way, i had planned to use the name Odin for the supercarrier class in my mod, the destroyer class would be Freya, Odin's wife.

Gah!!! The horror! The absolute linguistic HORROR!!! It just keeps getting worse... :shaking:

Terran is actually an adjective. English often allows us to turn adjectives into nouns, but the words do not cease to exist as adjectives for that reason. The proper way to say what you were trying to say, Hudzy, would simply be: "It could be Terran, though, if a few more Terran features were added."

(Btw, the commas are added in because "though" is functioning interjectively here.)

Post by: Knight Templar on August 04, 2002, 03:24:33 pm: English would then be your first language?

Post by: Hudzy on August 04, 2002, 03:35:41 pm: It's my first language but I'm just lazy. Besides, I'd only just woken up. :nod:
Title: The GTDn Odin
Post by: Sesquipedalian on August 04, 2002, 03:55:08 pm: Well, when Hudzy said Terrany, that was one thing, especially since he did recognise that it wasn't a real word. But when ShadowWolf "corrected" him to terranic that was just too much for me. ;):lol:
Title: The GTDn Odin
Post by: ShadowWolf_IH on August 04, 2002, 04:57:28 pm: That was supposed to be a joke, terranic...tyranic no one got it i guess.

Post by: StratComm on August 06, 2002, 10:04:43 am: Back on topic...

That thing should definately be Vasudan, especially since we seem to have an overabundance of Terran ships around here. Make it Hatshepsut-like in texture, and maybe add a recess to the nose and it'll be perfect.

Out of curiousity, what format is it in? With very little work that thing could become the Vasudan equivalent to my Archangel mod.

Post by: Hawkeye on August 06, 2002, 12:33:28 pm: I agree with Stratcomm, this beauty would be a perfect Vasudan equivalent to his GTDn Archangel, please, make it that way!!!!

By the way, has the Archangel's geometry been fixed?

Back on topic: How long is this new ship, 3Km? To be an Archangel equivalent it should be a bit larger (twice)

No, still waiting on a working (non PCS) conversion. It's ready to be put together, but it needs conversion. Can anyone actually get cob2fs2 to actually work?

Post by: Grey Wolf on August 10, 2002, 08:09:16 pm: It's currently sitting on my comp in COB format. I also have it in DXF. Do you have a link to a thread on this Archangel?

http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,8055.0.html

Hey, I know I'm jumping the gun here (because StratComm should probably be posting this instead of me), but I want to see the GTDn Archangel completed as much as the next man! :D

Man, that mod has possibilities... Of course, I had to tone down the SuperBlue beam mod a little for my campaign, but, hey, you can't have everything! (Killing a Sathanas in 2 seconds flat is a bit of overkill, IMHO...) :D

Post by: Anaz on August 10, 2002, 11:38:14 pm: I'm sorry, but to me it looks more like a collection of polygons rather than a ship. I suppose its just me...
