Does anyone know where I can find them? I particularly like the ship that looks like SA's Maahes, and the Nirvana makes me droool (is it by Dark? And who's this Arctic Frog guy?). So does the 'Icarus' (Terran Seraphim). I wonder where they are and if anyone has them. I have also seen the GTF Apollo Mark II somewhere, but I don't know where that is, so it doesn't matter anyway.

The Maahes, IIRc, was based exactly off of a model Dark did, rendered, but never released :D

I want those models too!

Especially the Terran drone. I have a Vasudan one, want a Terran model.
If you must know, I'm experimenting with ways to use drones in storylines. Thought the Amazon models were underused.

WHICH MODEL??? :mad:

I created a mini campaign called Virus, of three missions in which the player just blows away Amazon drones. It also featured a rogue supercomputer. It was the first campaign I made. It sucks, so no ones getting it. :P

I think the terran drone is in the FSPort.

Dark's models (the ones not used in MT/BWO, or whatever other campaigns may be holding them) are lost, with Dark, into the blackness of the internet. A shame, cause his Apollo thingy looked pretty cool.

Dont expect to see that stuff ever again, though. :/

We have a few mad model collectors here though. Noise and Mad Bomber seem to have models from god-knows where.

There are a bunch of Dark's models that are public, I think 4 of which are found in the FSPort (Gorgon, Karnak, TDrone, VNavbuoy). I don't think he released even half of the things he modeled, though... :/


So, what all do I have in here that's not on Hades Combine or in existing mods? Lessee... *rummage rummage*

* Bullet.pof from the Browning weapon mod (but the TBL entry seems to have disappeared; see below tho)
* GTB Surt (From Scroll of Antarkhazim. Not sure if this was ever released elsewhere, but for now I'll hold on to it, just in case the SA staff doesn't want it public; after all, it's not on their DL page.)
* GTCv Oculus (SOC ship with AWACS integrated. I think I got it off the HLP forum at some point.)
* GVC Repten (Decent cruiser model by Untouchable. I think it ought to be HTLed. A Vasudan cruiser with no glaring flaws, who'da thunk it?)
* GVCv Satyrs (I got this at the same time as the Repten. Decent corvette with AWACS integrated.)
* SOC Galatea (Twas from an early INF build if i remember. I can see why they apparently took it out, it is a box with smaller boxes attached. Bleh.)
* GTC Olympus (Very low poly model from the earlier days of FS2 modding. Antifighter cruiser.)
* GTSG Tor'h (Something Taristin and Psycho made out of randomness way back when United Space was still going. Has 2 AAA's and 12 Subachs. All the guns except one AAA are on one side.)
* SF Scorpion-II (Doesn't seem Shivan enough to me. They're not usually given to radial symmetry. Oh well.)
* GTI Arcadia addon (I can only describe this as "the steering wheel". Methinks it should have gotten a ring-holding structure outside the ring proper; that would have allowed for more defensive armament, as well as bringing out more detail in the model. But eh.)
* Armed TAC1 cargo (needs its turrets moved IMO, it has no underside coverage)
* GTT Naxos (Hex transport that can defend itself, FTW!)
* GTFR Demeter (777 meters long. It's your lucky day! Seriously, though, it has terrible defenses. Meant for hauling gas or bulk cargo through safe systems. Looks reasonably decent tho.)

And I probably have more stashed away on my older compies that I didn't transfer over. I should spend some time digging around on my old Pentium-II for things. :)

Also, interestingly enough, I found an old CBANI from someone's campaign (probably long since abandoned, since the ANI is from '00). Apparently whoever it was, was planning to introduce another species with Ancient-like mappings (purplish) called the Eridanites. The ANI I have describes the fighter as the ECF Torus, a heavy assault fighter. It could probably pass for an Ancient fighter if someone redid it.

But dangit, I can't for the life of me remember who was doing the campaign...


I also have some things made for my now-cancelled campaigns, HFH and the Eden Project.
Most of these models, apart from the Peleus, Victor and TC-FB, are pretty old, having been made in '01 or thereabouts. Most of em were made by Fulgrymm; he has since left the community. Pretty certain Roanoke made the Victor and TCFB, Taristin did the current incarnation of the Peleus, and I did the dockable Mjolnir meself.
* GVC Tuket (A cruiser with four primary SVas beams. Tis being used by MindGames last I heard. But tis relatively low-poly, and like many of the ships in this section, could probably use somewhat of a retexture too.)
* GVC Aten MK2 (An Aten refit model with four more turrets. The extra turrets are on the 'horns' and the stern.)
* a dockable Mjolnir (granted, I messed up one of the paths a bit, but add an Argo and you've got a miniature warship! I'll probably dockable-ize the HTL version if no one else wants to do it. I'll release both at once if that's the case.)
* RMCv Victor (A Deimos with an Argo bolted onto the side. It uses the Argo space as a fighterbay. Tis a good model, but an HTL version would be better, especially if the fighterbay were redone to empty out the side of the Argo. In retrospect that would have worked better than using the front hexagon as the bay opening, since the hexagon is kinda small. But eh.)
* TC-FB (Tis a TC-TRI retrofitted with a fighterbay. I'm waiting for the newer, HTLified one from Axem, but this'll do basically the same job. Roanoke made this for me way back when. :))
* SSG GunRahu (A Rahu gas miner converted into, essentially, a Shivan Mjolnir.)
* GTCa Atropos (Warship built out of various scrap warship parts for nefarious purposes. This model desperately needs a visual makeover. As such I would not recommend using it as-is, but at least it doesn't crash the game or anything; all the turrets and paths work, etc.)
* Nova Cannon (Created and made available for download a while back as the Pulsar Cannon or something. Tis a powerful splash-damage fighter weapon, but very difficult to use against anything faster or smaller than a Herc.)
* Supernova (Same thing, but bigger. It's perfect for those multipart turrets on the Orion; these shots are slow but devastating. And it certainly beats the generic Green Blobs.)
* GVF Heptu (All in all, it's not a bad design. Roughly comparable to the Myrmidon; much better than the tinfoil Serapis IMO. Just needs a bit of a visual makeover... in hindsight tho I realized it has large 'rabbit ears' and kinda blah textures.)
* GTB Kronus (Terran heavy bomber, meant to replace the Boanerges. It mounts two turrets, mounted top and bottom. Pretty nice, with a Loki-reminiscent texture. One higher LOD and it'd be perfect for a Terran utilitarian design. )
* GTD Hades MK2 (Sixty-six turrets! Ownage!)
* GTC Peleus (Fenris derivative. Roughly equal to the Aeolus, but with only one forward gun. It needs a bit of heirarchy work, though. I'm going to be using this in ETF, so no release for now, unless someone wants to improve the model, or do that heirarchy work I mentioned ;))


Okay, I think I covered every FS2 mod I've got on this machine that isn't currently downloadable from somewhere else, or in a bunch of campaign mods. I'll probably upload some of 'em to HC in the near future.

But for now, bed.

Would be most appreciative if you could get those onto Hades Combine. They sound incredible!
