I need to know what you guys would rather have. The regular support ship or this one I made today. Only one can be used so you decided.
note: i don't plan on remapping the new ship, but the size can be changed)
-
Change the...err....Orion (?) textures on the side and I'd prefer that one.
-
The new one looks great but i thinks it is too big.
but since it is supposed to carry large quantity of supplies if think it is fine.
Great work anyway.
-
New.
I assume the ships will carry a greater payload. Could be wrong, though. :nervous:
-
well people complained about using a small support ship to carry bombs for large bombers.
There's no Orion texture on that. Most of it was taken from the gas miner and put on one single map.
-
Well, personally I like it, but if you decide against using it, can you donate it to the T-V War Project? It has that old bulky look and feel to it. But I vote for you to keep it.
-
hmm, too bad you're not thinking 'bout remapping it, it could use a huge bulls'eye:D :D it's gonna make one hell of a target out in the combat zone:) . other than that it's cool, with the new (huge) bombers and all it would look weird with such a small support ship as the old one... I say use the new one!
-
Er...sorry to be hypercritical, but I don't like it - the cockpit looks a bit poor and the Uv on the sides of the miners' gas tank texture is stretched. Sorry.
-
Well I can't draw so poor cockpit :)
Yeah I re-uvmapped that part again and it didn't change one bit... oh well :D
-
If only the enemy would rearm once in a while...

Bah stop imagining, grab the Jotun and go do it :D
-
Well support ship isn't that bad, but I think it should have a more how do you say...modern design. It looks more like a tank to me this way. :nod:
-
Well I made it look like the concept pic I modelled it off, it's supposed to look like that :)
-
Yeah armored vheiscles(sp) rule. Why not have armored support ships. By the way, perhaps you should tweak it a bit so it would have a more futuristic look. You are not making a pre Freespace 1 campaign are you? :nervous:
-
Might release this ship later.
Though I don't guarantee it'll dock correctly to every ship. It docks backwards to some INF ones :D
-
See, I was right. Even Razor thinks it looks old:D

What do you mean by EVEN Razor? I was here a lot before you mister!
-
By the way, are those teeth under the Jotun cockpit? :nervous:
AARGH!! That thing bites!
-
sorry, I'll rephrase
"Razor also thinks it looks like an older model of support ship."
Thor sorry, Razor happy?
-
new. definitly new.
-
Carefull. You should not argue with MY opinion. ;)
-
My Advice is don't use it for Inferno. It might work fine for the T-V war project, but it's just too bulky for a post-FS2 game.
The watchword for support ships is not size, but manuverability. Think about it: if you have a slow, highly explosive ship in the area, that is a BAD thing, even if that slow ship rearms you. Big slow support ships are sitting ducks for enemy fighters. Allied Command knows better than to be so waasteful than to risk expensive ammunition and the lives of pilots by having them fly a ship that is so at risk of being blown up by enemy fighters. Not only is the support ship pilot in danger if he flies this thing in a contested area, but the blast radius is likely to damage freindly fighters as well.
My take on this is that this ship would be better for historical campaigns, i.e. Terran-vasudan War era. A big, vulnerable support ship like this could be used to illustrate why the Terrans and Vasudans decided to use smaller, more manuverable support ships: because the big ones kept making big, unhealthy explosions.
Any smart support ship pilot will tell you that manuverability is what keeps him alive. You can't reload if your support ship keeps getting kakked, no matter how much ammo he can carry.
-
Yeah but though it's a larger target it has far superior hull and shields and looks like it can carry bombs needed by the larger bombers, the normals upport ship looks like it can hold 2 bombs for the Notus :D
We'll probably use it, though you can change it back if you want :p
-
I'm arguing. :D
-
hmmmm...interesting...
Tell me, Woo, do you look through the :v: concept art to get your ideas?
Just wondering...
Cor
-
no I look through the concept art to make the concept ships like this one :D
-
hmmm....honestly...I prefer the older ones to it just because it is kinda low polyish? Maybe...I have a model of that same support untextured somewhere on my HD, I'll dig it up sometime.
-
Personally, I don't like it that much. Looks too bulky - streamline it a bit.
-
I like the bulky feel. It's not supposed to be a damn liner, for pete's sake. And it's biiig.

Doesn't look it there though ;)
-
that dosn't look like anything....
-
Well, one thing I don't like about it is the texturing. For one, I think they're too dark. But I don't know if that'd clash with the theme of the rest of the ships.
And then there's that buggered UVmapping on the ammo pods. Tried resizing the texture file, since remapping doesn't seem to work?

BAD! No Bumping!

well, for some odd reason, it was rather high up on the list for me. must be because it's a poll, it's automatically stickied or summin'...
But geez, lay off. I didn't even notice the post dates till now. :(

SOB Wraith:
An old resurrected project, the Wraith is a ponderously slow bomber capable of carrying the largest weapon in GTVA arsenals - the Armageddon. Exclusively an anti-juggernaught weapon, the Wraith can barely get up enough speed to give chase to a corvette. Fortunately, each Wraith is well-protected by quad Kayser turrets, but they must still be protected with fighter escorts.
