I made this aaaaages ago, just never got around to releasing it



It's all in the attachment.

cool, very cool

[Goober5000]

Oooh......

Can we have it for the TVWP?

[Black Wolf]

If you want an advanced Athena go for it, but I can't see why you would...

[Goober5000]

In the TVWP timeline, the Athena was developed during the 14-year war.  (Notice in FS1 it says "we have received a shipment" of the Athenas, not "we have developed" them.)  Having a D.H. would be a nice bonus.

[Black Wolf]

All yours then .

Oh, and while I'm here, I figured I'd pimp The Procyon Insurgency which will feature my other decent DH, the Zeus.  Thank you, the end.

:thepimp: (I'm getting a lot of use out of that smilie lately )

[Anaz]

I am suddenly reminded why I like the athena so much...

[Knight Templar]

Athena is probably one of my favorite ships of the series..

- looks awesome
- nice loadout (interceptors anyone?)
- with that afterburner, it's like the second fastest ship in FS1
- handles hella nice for a "bomber"


I think they should have made the Athena the sort of elite fighter of the game.

[Knight Templar]

Oh yeah, BW , you're on a role

[Galemp]

Oh goodie, you inverted the colors.
Is that using the Port model with the squad logos?

Sorry, I just HAD to post that!:lol:


Very nice model, by the way (The Athena D.H., not the temple prostitute. !:p ).

ARG[V]!  Double post!

I think this would be an awesome Special Ops craft. Historically speaking, until recently, Spec Air Ops of both the US and the UK used older aircraft that had long been replaced by more advanced craft in the regualr services.

The reason was that they were cheaper and easier to maintain in the field, easy to get ahold of, and easy to modify in the highly battle stressed enviroment of Special Operations.

The Athena has always reminded me of the Canberra. A light bomber that was later used by both UK and US Spec Ops in the numerous low intensity brush conflicts of the 60's,70's and 80's.

[Whitelight]

Now that is a bomber, I really like the color too...

Very beautiful, can`t wait to fly it... Wipes drool from chin  :wink:

I was gonna say. For reference, the RAF today use a few Canberras as high-altitude recon planes. Dunno where else they see service in the world, mind. UK's first jet bomber, they were

Right, trivia lesson over...

[phreak]

they look alike too

[diamondgeezer]

My thoughts precisely.

As for the elite fighter... well, it was good, but the Hercules did own.
