that would be cool, but would you realy want to have a giant glass dome on a military ship?
think about it.

anyway, new update on my front, I have added some recesed windows, and made some other small changes, the only thing I'm not realy satisfied with is the back around the engines, and the aria around the main beam


remember that pic is a link.

also something I made a while back, sounds for the main beam cannon and an anti-fighter cannon for this ship

well you get my vote so far bob

[übermetroid]

Bob, that thing looks like the Vasudans had more say in the next Big project.

Kinda like how the Big C. looked more terran then Vasudan, that one looks more Vasudan then terran.  It looks great though.  There should be a way to work both of the ships into the mod.



Since this mod requires that the Cap ship has to use torpedos if Ryx's ship was used the torpedos could be launched from those boxes on the nose of the ship.  Just a thought.

who says transparency can only be used for glass domes

Well, why does every ship have to be made jointly?  Terran companies will still make Terran ships, and Vasudan companies will still make Vasudan ships. Every now and then, they'll do joint-ventures and the like, but not every ship.

Actually, I disagree. I think the future of GTVA society would be toward more integration, with Vasudans and Humans working closely together. I think there would be fewer and fewer 'Terran' or 'Vasudan' ships and more and more 'GTVA' ships.

[Bobboau]

yeah, that would include corperations.

now I need some textures, I don't supose we could get someone to wip up three or four textures with a white/dark grey/dark aqua/lavender sceem, thinking textures with long thin metalic pannles and a few glow capable textures

[mikhael]

Mug Venom and swipe some of his OtT textures. His Vasudan stuff was incredible.

Sorry, That's classified level Rho. You are not authorized to know.

[Lightspeed]

only level Rho?

[Ryx]

other 1
other 2
other 3

[Lightspeed]

the dark, rounded things on the front should be about at 50% transparency

[Knight Templar]

ooh, now that's cool.

[Ashrak]

****ING A!

[pyro-manic]

Ryx: Change the fins back to the original shape - those 'uns just...bleh. Sorry...... The rest is incredible, but those fins....

Bob: F**k me, yes! It looks hideously overweight, but I love it! It doesn't look Terran (too smooth), it doesn't look Vasudan (too fat), it looks like something else entirely. Dunno what, though.

Aldo: Hmmm - reminds me of the Odin. Which is very, very good....

[Flaser]

Ryx make the fins join the hull more organically, put some structure near the base so it's more integral to the whole design.

BTW I think that ship has the potential to be a "tradmark" of the FS_Open once it makes its way into the game.

As for the "non-FS-ness" I think it would go for all the ships if they were as detailed as Ryx's.

This is the definite way we have to go, since this will finally give a sense of vastness to ships.

[Taristin]

And as for the "Not-FS-y" compare the Hatshepsut to the Typhon, or the Aeolus to the Fenris. Just generational gaps. This is down the road a bit from them.

[Ryx]

x < 7000 polys (turrets 'n stuff not included)

Still adding...

[Taristin]

You know... That is frickin awesome. I'd ask for a copy, but it's for FSUP...  ANyway, I still need to path the Nero so I can send Ryx a copy, along with an application for a life-time membership into his fan club...

Looks too fat right now, but if you scale down the "body" of your ship, Bob, you'll have a real winner
