FYI, I know that. I ain't stupid.  didn't use GTA, or GTT. I used GTTs ( Galactic Terran Torpedo Ship ) and GTAs ( Galactic Terran Artillary Ship ). But maybe I'll just make them both GTC, because they are both cruisers.

[Thor]

But being the proponent of canon, someone has pointed out that the Fenris was the ONLY cruiser untill the leviathin, then just the two of them.  We need other names.  Personally, I like Gunship (GTGs) or Carrack (GTCk?) the best.,

[Knight Templar]

GTTs and GTAr didn't sound that bad

[Solatar]

Actually, the one I like best is the GTFg. Frigate. Instead of corvettes, I have made frigates. And for heavy ships, I have GTBC. For some reason GTBC looks better than GTBc.

[Thor]

also fits the rule one word, small letter, ie: Fg = Frigate
Two words, Caps, ie: SC = Science Cruiser

Of course, peole will now swoop in and say Frigates didn't exist either:rolleyes:

[Solatar]

Well if they say that, then I'll say this. **** happens. At least we don't have people telling us that heavy fighters weren't invented until the Great War. As we didn't see any until then, following everyone else, if we didn't see it, then it didn't exist.

[Thor]

which is just bs.

GTTs could be confused with the plural of GTT. It confused me earlier.

Edit: Come to think of it, to be consistant it should be GTTS I think. Though I don't know of any other classes that would have ship at the end that use an S or s.

[Solatar]

One word has a capital and lowercase. I.E-GTCv Corvette
Two words have two uppercase. I.E-GTSC. Science Cruiser.
So my designations would be GTTS, and GTAS.

[Knight Templar]

i think the T-V war should have some smaller "picket" or Gunships. Like maybe 100 -150 meters long with a crapload of lasers/guns or whatever.

 Like whatever you are using for your main "peon" weapon (i.e. Subach for FS2), have like 10 turrets of those on it or something to that effect, then like two bigger guns for dealing with small cruisers and a missle launcher or two.

IMO Freespace Capships blew major ass because you see this bigg ass Orion with uh... 16 guns..? The way i figured, it should have ML-16's or avengers all along the Starboard and Port bows and a few more capship guns. It should at least have 35 turrets total.. with 16 .. 3 fenris's could waste it. Pathetic.

[Fury]

I agree. Cap ship weaponry should have been better.
Anti-fighter pulses and missiles, and anti-capship pulses and missiles. Unfortunately almost all original cap ship weapons tried to be both, failing in both.

Alright, there is difference between Terran Turret and Terran Huge Turret... but normal version was lacking in fire rate and projectile speed and huge was lacking in range and damage.

But let's change subject... Since corvettes were designed between the two Great Wars, it is best to create new ship types. See Babylon 5 Olympus class corvette, you could use similar design for gunboat or something like this. Enough turrets in a small vessel can be very dangerous to unshielded fighters.

[Galemp]

You ever tried going up against a Great War, fully armed Fenris in an unshielded Anubis? It's not fun!

[Solatar]

Its even harder with teh Fenris armed with AAA Turrets. Something new I made, they are fast firing, high velocity, but can't do jack against a capship. Anyway, they have both the "figher+" and "bomber+" flags, so they don't target capital ships very much.

[TrashMan]

The T-V war is set in Freespace universe in which the Shivans DIDNT arrive. What would happen in that case is for the campaign author to decide. I don't see why after 14 years of war one would decide NOT to build a strong escort/fire support ship - a corvette.
If you look at WW2 - you had torpedo boats, destroyers, frigates, cruisers(light/heavy), battleships(light/heavy), carriers(light/heavy/support), submarines, etc... - note that the light/heavy versions were _MUCH different, practicly a different class.


ABOUT THE TURRETS - I know, that's why I made my own Main gun weapons
(Light, Medium and Heavy Ion Cannon,  Fury MK IV, Judgment Day and Deliberator missiles) - for capships
(Vulcan, Vindicator, LIFC, - fighter guns

What the hell are you talking about? The TVWP is set in, of all places, the Terran-Vasudan War. The demo will take place in the Unification War. All of this occures before the Shivans even arrive, but they do arrive.

[Thor]

I really want to play with the mod now:(

[Solatar]

I know, and I want at least a little feedback. I keep having to make the thing bigger and better just so it will be worth the wait.

I haven't gotten so much as an e-mail from Gamespy. And our hosting application is three months old.

If we don't get this damn thing up soon, everybody will move on to other things.

[Thor]

Well, know for a fact that the ITHOV space is up.  let's try to FTP it up again.

[Goober5000]

Go with Frigate - GTFg.  I like it the best.
