How big?

Also, you might add a comparison to the Orion, as that seems to be the one everybody uses for comparisons in Destroyer class.
So as through a glass, and darkly

Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

-> Size
I don't know the exact lenght, but I think it should be something between the Orion and the other destroyer from FS2 (forgot the name, Hekate?)

->Human, Vasudan, Shivan???

Basicly its a Human Vasuda design, but it has also a Shivan influens. The Shivan part is there, because of a quite easy rule in Warfare...learn from your enemy!
( Friends teach you what you want to know, enemys teach you what you need to know)

But it follows also a new way in fleet designs. With the advantage of Bombers and Torpedos, small vessels (Fighter/Bomber) become a real threat to cap ships.  Beside that fighters and bombers can be produced faster and easier than Capships.

-> Differences in the Design
There are two designs in the new Carrier class. Human use more bigger guns(beams) on the Templar combined with a heavyer armor. Drawback is that the Human Templar is slower than the Vasudan one. Also it leaks the point defenc capabilitys of the Vasudan design.
The Vasudans use manly antifighter beams, flak and only 2 heavy longrange beams. The armor is weaker than the Human design. Advantage is that its faster and it carries more fighters.

Dang it! Very nice, but I want some newbie that thinks he's all that and makes a crappy ship to come post it here, and ask us what he thinks about, because I want to press the "looks like crap button"!


BTW,  voted that it looks good ;) But try adding something on the side, like maybe a

It is nice to see that nearly everyone likes the design, but isn't there a texturer that would like to give it a try?
All I can do is taking existing ones and past them one the hull. But I leak the skills that are needed to make a good UV map, all these things involving "art" and whatever is needed to make textures like the other people.

if you hack into it get into the freespace.vp file and slap some shivan or typhon class skins there all the same practically and i think the typhon ones would be better because all the typhon is a brown backround with blue dots. or you can put some galetae skins or something

i wouldn't know im new at modding and im having my own problems right now but as i said a brown backround with blue dots would look good. and how did you make the wireframe i want to make my own ships i already have a stockpile of skins
If your skills are weak but your soul is strong you must seek to ikmprove your skills. Likewise, if your soul is weak but skills are strong your destruction will unfold.

 
let me have a copy of the ship ill apply old skins and mod them to look great on the templar im realy artsie at times and im bored out of my mind so let me work on it ill make skins fit them and givce it back to you

yeah, me too, it's cool, very anime-like in fact.
If you want, in one week I'm back home, and I might want to give it a go then, but I'd give it anime-like maps ( so very smooth plating ). I see it, mmh, how to say that... Silver like ( if you know vandread or Sol Bianca you'll know what I mean )
What do you think?

I have seen some of your work..I think.
They where quite good, beside that, anyone who gives the ship a little bit (good) color can keep it.
Let me see you magic notify me with an Email when you are back and you have time to work on it.

Nice textures, I like the dark part and the turrets. Especial the turrets...they remind me of something but I don't know what it     was...

Btw what do you mean with Animestyle textures? I haven't see the Serie you refering to. Could you post a pic or give me a linke where I can find a pic?

Hey Venom I have tried to get you Email to send you the model file, but I haven't found it.
So it seems as you have to send me an Email, or post yours so that I can send you the model file.
Or just confirm me at ICQ
