Title: Ballista class Artillery Boat
Post by: At on December 15, 2006, 09:26:19 pm

You know, some day, I'll actually get something in game.  Until then, I have meshes.

... Well, this isn't even done.  Main part, though.

In continuing with my probably unshown love of huge beam cannons, I present the Ballista class Artillery Boat.  Frigate.  Thing.

No idea on the scale, yet, but anywho.  I'm thinking a small fighter ship could about fit down that barrel.

No offense, looks like a rough Pillar of Atumn (Halo).  :yes:

Well... Yeah.  Maybe.  But... This one will have... things... on it.

Neat, but yea, first thing that popped into my head was "Pillar of Autumn" :)
Still, nice model.

It does look like the Pillar of Autumn.

This IS for the FS universe, right?

Me likes.

Um.  I dunno.  Probably the Imboredandwantedtomakeneatships universe. <.<

There are probably going to be a number of other ships in the series.  And then some more work on another faction.

Oh, and fighters... This thing has no turrets.  Maybe missiles, though...  Hmmmmmmm.  Or maybe it could have turrets, they just won't fire while using the main cannon.

Either way, they're currently way over detailed. (1000+ polys?)  But they look pretty.

I don't mind if it look the Halo ship or whatever. I just like the basic shape and would like to see it fully done. Maybe adding some other ships that share the design to build up an entire fleet for a faction in FS or a standalone mod.

Would be great to see those guns recoil! But yeah, on a non-render ship they need to come down a bit.
They do look good though.

I am still around but I haven't model anything for a long time now...to be presice till the time I started working.
Currently I am only doing smaller parts for Saga...mostly photoshopping.
