Never heard of the Iowa

Well the Gargant can take out most ships in a matter of seconds/minutes, taking no/little damage.

Yes

But I also wanted to alter textures a bit and add lights to make it more evil.

Maybe it's just my silly idea of PR, but hey.

Why? Should I be nothing but a walking mouth spewing forth advertisements? I never said the Inferno team should change it. I merely consider the entire idea of super-ginormous ships that are giant simply for the sake of being giant to be silly and said as much. I am as entitled to my opinion as anyone else here.

You're soooo funny. If I wanted to complement the team on something they did well, I would. But if I have an opinion on the matter I'll say it. As opposed to some people I don't mindlessly hand out accolades, I prefer to reserve that for stuff that in my opinion deserves it. The Inferno team has done an excellent job in getting all their ships together, modelled and so forth, I simply think some of the choices they made as to what to put those ships in as were a bit excessive.

Especially when you consider that much of the Inferno press has revolved around the oversized vessels that will see light in it and not nearly so much around the actual ships you'll be flying in/against such as fighters and cruisers and so on, you can see why I think they're focussing too much on the 'mobile background', at least publically.

Inferno also has larger fighters, Shrike.

Think of it as just scaled up.

Shrike · **Reply #84 on:** March 28, 2003, 06:36:00 pm

Once again, big for big's sake. I simply see little point in it. There's nothing wrong with oversized vessels if they play an important role in the story, but I'm just seeing a case of continuing one-upsmanship in size without a good reason. And damn, the Colossus at 6km was big enough!

Oh well, whatever..... at least they've got smaller vessels now, I remember when there was a big gap between the fighters and the uberships.

Which reminds me, I gotta see if they have the latest Alcyone build, the screenshot they have is an older one.

Shrike · **Reply #86 on:** March 28, 2003, 07:03:08 pm

But, in all seriousness, why? Sure it'd be funny, but what's the point? "Yay, I have a ship that can destroy everything, I'm so cool! Now, what should I do... I know, blow stuff up!"

Edwin · **Reply #87 on:** March 28, 2003, 07:33:24 pm

shrike has got a point there.

LAM3O · **Reply #88 on:** March 28, 2003, 08:20:09 pm

It'a big because that's what the modder wants in the universe he created, no other explanation needed. And i think they are very cool, and probably what volition would have done in freespace 3.

You can't please everyone and i'm happy Woomeister doesn't waver to people's ideas of what his creation should be.

Yes, I'm clear on that. Of course you're entitled to your opinion... more so than anyone else if you chose to push that. But I just think that there are better ways of communicating that opinion to your teams. You bring up excellent points - I too am not too sure about how much it would add to my mission if the nebula background wasn't just a nebula, it was in fact an enormous Shivan vessel which will be destroyed by some other enormous vessel - but if you want to improve these projects, and I think everyone does, maybe you ought to spin your words more gently. I know you'll be saying exactly the same thing in the end, but it just makes it easier for people to accept advice. It's surprising how difficult it is to take advice, however much sense it makes, if the person giving it makes it hard to swallow your words and turn back on what they've said and planned.

The thing is, I'm not asking Inferno to change, and I don't want them to change on my account. It's their story. I don't mind if people have criticism of my work as long as they can back it up with an explanation of why. I hope that the Inferno guys are the same and this is merely me providing my opinion on the subject as a whole and not a plea/order/request for them to change their campaign one iota.

That's because no-one asks about them, I'd be happy to give more shots of the Phobos, Alcyone, Notus, Jotun, Alves, Cyone etc, but no-one really asks for them. The only reason I started this Gargant topic is because the ship had a major upgrade from the original version.

Actually they're about the same size as the standard fs2 fighters...except the Chaos...

The gap was bomber-corvette, we lacked cruisers at that time. We know have a few, if I had more table space, I'd put a few more in.

Actually I only made 1 of those ships.

The only ships I really like bulky and large are bombers, that's why I like the Jotun/Notus so much

Ah I remember that ship
