could anyone create an orion with a fighterbay on both sides instead of just one for a campaign i am developing.  anyone who could help me please post here.

Firstly, welcome to HLP, though I see you've been registered for quite some time now. If I understand right this might take some remodeling - what purpose did you have in mind?

[Sniper]

the story is, the campaign is set a little after freespace 2.  the gtva fleet is badly damaged so old ships are being modified to keep them in service after there expected lifetime.  one of these is to convert the old orions into carriers with minimal anti-ship weapons, providing fighters to support the fleet the carrier is assigned to.  

most of the refitted ships will be done with table edits, but i thought it would look cool to have a new model for this ship as it will play a significant role in the campaign, and it will be the ship the player is assigned to.  

...and yes i have been regestered for a while and have been checking the forums for useful tips.  i started messing about with fred a year or two ago.  i have done quite a few missions to learn how to use the features of fred2, and some of these will be included in the campaign i am now working on.

Redesigning the Orion for twinned hangar decks would be simple, mesh-wise, but a nightmare texture-wise. I could throw together the mesh and LOD it, but you'd have to find someone else to handle texturing and conversion.

So, in short: if you can line up someone to do the textures, paths, conversions and tabling, I'll do your mesh.

anyone know the status of the orion upgrade that was on that one guy's site?

You mean the one with the giant beam revolver?

[Neo Voice]Whoa![/Neo Voice]

Back on topic however, this Orion advanced doesn't have twin fighter ramps.  That Fenris/Leviathan upgrade design looks cool... and useful... humm........

Later

[Deepblue]

NM no it doesn't. I thought it did.

[Fineus]

The redesign looks great except the front gun.. which just looks silly

Hey, has anyone tried to get that guy over here?  He seems to still be active...

[aldo_14]

I'm sure i remember a twin-bayed Orion from ages ago............  not sure if it was a mod or just for a render, though.

Had an hour to spare:


This what you want?

It's currently a complete POF with all POF data except for the fighterbay paths, the rest of the paths are done though.
Oh and it's 2006 polys for the main lod (turreted) I split the mesh up so it doesn't require HT&L.

[Sniper]

i looks well cool.  thnx.  exactly what i wanted as far as i can tell from the screen shots.  i will pm you my e-mail so you can send me the files.  one small thing which would be useful would be a name-plate "GTCa Hunter" to go on it

Someone should show him the HT&L stuff.


Wait! Wasn't this guy a friend of Psycho's?  *Goes to email Psycho*

[Edit: WTF is with the 'too many images in signiture" BS?! ]


[Edit2: Oh, Deepblue went overboard with the eek's...]

*looks at stuff*

*see's he puts them up for DL when he finishes*

I don't suppose you'd put that up for general release would you? I'd love a copy myself

[Eviscerator]

Me too!

Jeebus Woo - that's the Second TI ship upgrade you've "copied" (IE. we (Well, VA) did it first, in secret, and you came up with the same idea later, independently).
