YES!!!!

I just need to add debis, LOD's 2 & 3, and convert it. Then I'l post it here FOR DOWNLOAD.

Here's a prewiev pic:




36 turrets so far...Should I add a few more?

[Hippo]

Personally, i don't like the deimos style turrets, or the colossus type skins, but the model itself looks very good...

[Solatar]

Looks like you've used two or three different texturing "themes". I'd stick with just one.

[Zarax]

Not bad, not bad at all... I would rather separate the two runways, you would save a few polys and it will look nicer imho

[Gloriano]

is that same ship that Raa tor'h (or someone else) textured anyway looking good

[diamondgeezer]

Jesus H Christ on a pogo stick!

Er... yes, seperate the two runways, don;t have them running around to meet each other. And put the original Orion skins back on it. And steal the high-poly turrets of that Orion Upgrade thingy.

[TrashMan]

Yes, it was textured by Raa Tor'h. I did re-texture a few faces. I think it loks better this way.
Maby I should make the turrets a bit bigger? I do like the two-barreled Deiomos turrets better then the standard Orion ones. They go too much up for my taste.

I don't intend on changing the model now - the runway stays as it is.
The only thing I might change are the weapons or a texture or two.

[aldo_14]

Looks fat.

[diamondgeezer]

Well yes, cos it's what the millitary would call a Super Orion

[Odyssey]

[color=cc9900]I still think my mirrored Orion looks sleeker, despite the fact I just cut it in half and mirrored it, then stuck the sides together, rather than bothering to change geometry

[Ashrak]

it should have about 60 turrets...of which about 40 are lasers....10 beams 10 flack

[Knight Templar]

Where do you get those numbers?

And whats up with the mix of blue and yellow lights?

[Odyssey]

[color=cc9900]The blue areas are the new 'nightclub' sections, devised by the GTVA for increased profit. Occasionally there are laser shows outside too [/color]

[TrashMan]

I aded a few more turrets...it has around 41 turrets now.

Odyssey, I did this Orion from scratch. I didn't just change one sie of the original.

Anyway, here it is - had debris, LOD's, turets and radars. Everything.


Cnverting...saving. Opening in Modelview..and...

ERROR 6101 - TOO MANY POINTS IN POLYGON (>20)

What!? Impossible - I triangulated the thing! Argh...!!!!
Ugh..gotta search for the offending poly!:mad:

Is there a law against it? It looks much cooler this way. Oh, yeah..It's a bit bigger than the standard Orion... it Is a Heavy Destroyer;7

As far as the armament goes, I thin the following will do nice:
- 6x Main turrets  - Light Ion Cannon or Terran Huge Turret
- 1 BFGreen (in the nose)
- 2 BGreens (on the sides)
- 4-5 flak cannons
- 4-5 aaaf
- everything else is Terran Turret/Terran Anti-bomber Turret

[Lynx]

Some of the textures seem to be stretched out of proportion; I'd fix that if I were you.

[TrashMan]

where? On LOD2? Who cares! It will be too far away for you to take a good look...
but I COULd fix that

[magatsu1]

1 BFGreen 2 BGreen

but the original has more than that.
wouldn't an upgrade model have similar firepower to the original ?

No it doesn't....the original has three BGreen's and a couple of TerSlashes.  The BFGreen makes up for the loss of one BGreen and the slash beams.  This thing will cut other destroyers apart at a longer range than most of them will be able to retaliate at.

[Ashrak]

the FS2 capship textures are BS...... firstly either there are midgits piloting every windowed ship or the perseus cokpit is HUGE drive to the side of diemos windows to see what i mean (with perseus)
