The NTF's design.  Built more as a moving gun platform than a ship.  It has very heavy armor, but only moves at 10 m/s and has moderate anti-fighter weapons.  It was built for orbital and slow convoy defense.  Only 7 were made, 2 were captured by the GTVA during the rebellion.  3 were destroyed in space dock in Sirius and 2 were destroyed at the Deneb jump node, but only after they were able to destroy a Diemos corvettes and 2 fenris cruisers.  They were brought down with bombers from the GVD Mephis. http://www.angelfire.com/co4/codedog/demo.html

It looks like an Aeolus/Argo cross...
Blocky, but I like it...

[CODEDOG ND]

Supposed to be...I'm still writing the full tech description, it does go into detail on the design of the ship and why it is sorta blocky.

[Setekh]

Nice ship...   What are those, SGreens (anything more would be - ummm - seriously dangerous  )?  

[Mad Bomber]

Yaaayyyy!!! More anticap cruisers!  

[CODEDOG ND]

yup sgreens, dont want it to be too powerful

[Fineus]

Wow, Looks good - I actaully prefer this kind of ship sometimes, that way it looks "harder" and better armored as opposed to with lots of angles and so on...

[CODEDOG ND]

having trouble converting it to pof though.
 

Needs help on adding the turrets and engine glows.  I have KillMeNow's turreting tutorial.  Is there other more in depth tutorials on gluing thrusters, LODS, etc.  Or can somebody show me first hand.  This is the only cap-ship I have been satisfied with and really want to get this into fs2.  I tried this morning to get some of the turrets to work but of course it crashed, stupid machine.

My ICQ is 109776547 if anybody wants to help me.

Its a solid, practical design. I like it.

Untouchable has been helping me convert this ship and so far the guns are working...but right now I have had a slight mis-caculation on the size.  Seems I did the math wrong and while Im sitting here looking in fred2 I see the argoso and this white little dot next to it.  Well most of you would think that must be a fighter...but nooooo thats a damn GTI hades.

You know, the Hades is a good design for a fighter.

What's wrong with having very powerful anticap cruisers? The Shivans have the Lilith, and it's natural that we'd want to try to make a Terran or Vasudan counterpart to that.

Balancing.  If you have a ship that spells death to every fighter in close range, then it should have a vunerability - in this case to beam equipped cruisers (and above).  I think it's best to treat every ship you mod as a possible enemy ship - that way you can balance it better than if it's always fighting on your side.
