I was wondering if some could make me the Terran Battlecruiser from Starcraft and put it into FS2 cos i think those ships are cool and Starcraft is and still a excellent game.

It's hard when you are modeling after models from a strategy game.  There is however, a conversion for Tiberian Sun where the Starcraft Battlecruiser is in it.  That is of course, if you have Tiberian Sun.

Tiberian sun? I saw one for red alert, but I must admit I left modding c&c some months only after I got TS, because westwood wouldn't release their 3ds2vxl converter.
Things have changed a lot, there's a lot of new units now, but I've sadly lost interest  .

I saw c&c to starcaft tc but i think it's dead now  
Starcraft is the strategy game, but i would want to see the Protoss Carrier and air units, for FS, though the Yamoto gun would be very easy to make in the freespace universe   cloaking wraiths however, may be a problem

not talking about mutalisk wings

Why would you take two perfectly good games and bring all the worst units of one into another? The Battlecruiser sucked, and its poly level would be throught the roof anyway. If you beefed up its defences and made it actually move, it could kick *** , but then it wouldn't be true to the original...

[Apothess]

I have to say i never really liked the C&C games, i,ve got them but lost interest very quickly! now with blizzards games are much better, i still play Starcraft cos its so good, just hope that there will be a starcraft 2.

Look at the cutscenes again... weaponary of the units in cutscenes have nothing to do with weaponary ingame. So a Battlecruiser with loads of turrets is probaboly how it is indeed... Do you really think that the terrans would really make a ship that big with only ONE laser? hell no  
Units ingame are completly different indeed... a Protoss carrier is barrely two times bigger than a terran tank ingame, and look at the pic from the 3rd act... the carrier is 3/4 times bigger than a WHOLE protoss city.
So I don't think that in FS2 the bcruiser would be a crap. Bah, anyway, you're right, it's not the one I would prefer to see (it's the protoss scout and the wraith, I think and, of course, the carrier and its interceptors   )

They also made Hydralisks equivalent to the Aliens monsters, using claws instead of shooting crap (see the trench scene of BW intro). The cutscenes hadf little to do with the game, but it doesn't matter anyway. A Battlecruiser would look cool, and who cares about accuracy?

Hehe, nope, the trench scene features zerglings, and they behave like ingame. But hydralisks do behave this way too in cutscenes, as you can see in the science vessel cutscene (the one where they blow up the ship with a nuke at the end -I suppose it's quicker and less painfull to die this way   )
I kindda wanted to make a Starcraft conversion, but after the lack of feedback I had with the descent conversion, I didn't want to make a conversion again.

lol  
Now the Descent campaign has been taken over by Raven so don't worry, it's not dead  
For the Starcraft stuff, that's another story  . Maybe I'll do one or two ships in my spare time, but I'm afraid that will be about all (if I even make one ship, thing that I doubt in fact)

[Setekh]

The StarCraft Terrans have no sense of originality. The Terran Dominion had like 200 battlecruisers in orbit around the same planet, and it looks boring as hell! Not even one ship with a custom paint job  

[DragonClaw]

  The point of starcraft is that its actually playable, not the cutscenes.


  Much much strategy involved... not some boring as hell thing like New Worlds, where every mission is the same thing basically.

Whaaaat? Much much strategy StarCraft? No,no,no! Much much strategy E2150, much much strategy Syndicate, no strategy at all Starcraft! Starcraft kiddie game!

Sorry, you touched a nerve there, I've been a strat game guy for years, FS is a major exception, I only bought it 'cause I mistook it for Homeworld (not that I'm not very glad I did), and Starcraft is just the beginning. Go buy TMP or E2150 and you'll see what I mean (both bad overall games, actually, but very super-real).

PLay mplayer at starcraft and you'll change your mind dude  
Anyway, why is SC good and E2150 not? coz SC is fun and E2150 is not  

[DragonClaw]

  Mplayer is gone dude... heh. GameSpy Arcade has taken over Mplayer


  Battle.net is better than Mplayer/Gamespy IMO

No, I played multiplayer... there were two good things about that game, the graphics and the trigger system, I got to see the second in full glory... but it was still not that great. You learn one or two good tricks, and you can beat the pros. E2150 is practically a real battle, I mean, in Starcraft weapons hit every time, do the same damage, the climate affects nada... Geez, man! Have you ever played that game? It's beautiful, despite its (admitted) flaws.

And I swear, ANYBODY tries to tell me that Syndicate is not one of the truly great games of all time, I'll get out my minigun and teach you a lesson about respect .
