Galactic Terran Strike Carrier Lancer is back!

gevatter_lars original mesh had many intersection and other flaws which I couldn't fix, so I sat and made a whole new ship from scratch!

The Old lancer and the new version

The new Lancer...

Uh.. well.. they look the same. Good job to you.

So I guess this thread will have to be reserved , yet again, for making fun of your taste in music.

ship is to flat. As basic model is good:yes:

TrashMan · **Reply #3 on:** February 21, 2004, 02:38:34 pm

I will take any suggestions you might have before I covert it and post it...
The reason I kept the same basic shape (there are difference...lot's of them...) is that I can easily stick the turrets on it from a previous model and import PCS data...
Naturally, there are plenty areas in which I can still change stuff.

The basic idea of this SOC Carrier is to move quicky and strike fast and hard.. It alone can take on a destroyer (alltough it's 1.5km long)..

What do you mean with flat...its build out of lego and was one of my very first models ^_^

Well surly not the very best design I have ever made....I wonder that someone still got it and is working on it.
For the rework...it looks still the same..thats good and bad...maybe it could need some details and stuff.
But since I have more then enough real work to do, don't ask me to do that..hope you understand that.

Beside that...you placed windows in the front nose-parts....I have though of them as some kind of Animelike overbeamcannons...well that was when I was younger...now I would give them more details ^_^

Add a Vorlon like bridge on it.

TrashMan · **Reply #6 on:** February 21, 2004, 02:58:56 pm

It allready has a bridge...and you can fly under it...re-live the SW Death Star flying_trough_trench experence...

I did use your basic model...but it's more detailed and smoother on some parts...still not done..that's why I'm posting this..

To tell the truth, I allso tought of putting cannons there, but they would be too much restricted... Don't worry, I destributed the firepower very good...
Against a Hecate they usualy end up destroying eachother...

Adn..what does a Vorlon Bridge look like?

EDIT: I allso made a higher poly version of the Paladin and gave it to the Freelancer modders. ...2142 polys (no turrets) so far...Once I texture it I'll post.

gevatter Lars · **Reply #7 on:** February 21, 2004, 03:11:48 pm

What do you mean with ristricted...when this ship comes out from far away it just points it cannons in the right direction an boom ^_^
Something like:
"What is our target Sir?"
"What do you mean with target...just fire in the direction of the enemy"

Star Dragon · **Reply #8 on:** February 21, 2004, 04:10:56 pm

Lar's is suffering from Macross cannon/Wave Motion syndrome. The urge to arm a ship with an uber beam weapon capable of disintergrating whole fleets that happen to be in its way...

Here here! Bring on the pain...

"SDF-1 Destroy that Borg cube!"

"Good news sir, we just nicked the edge but becuase of our uber damage it was enough to destroy it first time!"

http://photo.starblvd.net/Star_Dragon/3-3-4-1068922199?m=0&pg=2&ro=2&co=3

"Sir multiple trans-warp signatures forming, orders?"

"Fire Ludicrous Beams, Fire Ridiculous Beams, Hell Fire PLAID Beams, FiRE ALL BEAMS!"

Didn't someone make a plaid beam already???

Anyway I remember the Lancer.. It was the first cap ship I ever converted thanks to Lar's model dump. Remember the horrible textures I slapped on it (it could only take 3 at that time) It looked like the bridge had eyes and it was string at you!

Very disturbing...

TrashMan · **Reply #9 on:** February 21, 2004, 04:21:05 pm

Restricted...as In.. it can't fire up or down, only forward and a little to the left and right..

And StarDragon...I just remebered that SDF-1 I have...I'll patch it up and send it to you...See if you can make use of it..
B.t.w. - want the normal, or the transformed version?

GT-Keravnos · **Reply #10 on:** February 21, 2004, 04:27:05 pm

How about rows and rows of turrets and missile launchers and call it an "artillery" cruiser, or a "missileer" I always thought that was missing from FS. A dedicated standoff platform, throwing big huge missiles from afar. That is what this ship is telling me

Star Dragon · **Reply #11 on:** February 21, 2004, 04:29:29 pm

ARe you kidding? BOTH of course...

I'm still planning on making a mission where you see the SDF-1 trash Boldoza's base! From the inside! I got some ideas.. Right now I'm messing with something and won't say public yet. Remember the shots I posted last year of being inside the SDF-1 fighting a squad of zentreadi? Kinda like that...

TrashMan · **Reply #12 on:** February 21, 2004, 04:33:19 pm

I allready have a Missile Frgate (the Excalibur...which reminds me...as long as I'm at it..I might as well re-do it allso..)

I'll see what can be done..
NOTE: I will NOT texture the SDF-1, and I will not over-do it with details..

gevatter Lars · **Reply #13 on:** February 22, 2004, 05:03:02 pm

Yes I have these kind of Macross overpowerd beam syndrom ^_^
Well lets so what kind of details you will add to the model, cause it needs some.
The Idea of having a missile cruiser thing is quite old..made my very first model a missile corvette/cruiser whatever was smaller in FS..mix the sizes allways up with Wing Commander.

Here a pic of the very very old moving missile-luncher-ship

you can clearly see the missiletubes at the side.

and speaking about beams....

Eishtmo · **Reply #14 on:** February 22, 2004, 08:32:13 pm

Interesting. There's only one problem.

In game, GTSC means Galactic Terran Science Crusier. That's one hell of a science ship.

Star Dragon · **Reply #15 on:** February 22, 2004, 08:46:58 pm

Wasn't Voyager a "Science Ship"?

Doesn't matter what universe. Some science ships are destined to KICK ASS!

Setekh · **Reply #16 on:** February 23, 2004, 06:27:32 am

I agree that it's quite flat, but I still quite like it. Got some pretty nice lines; I think the texture job is good, but it could do with some more variation, like making some side lines or panels highlighted, or something to that effect around the mesh. Well done.

Havock · **Reply #17 on:** February 23, 2004, 08:10:31 am

pretty neat model, perhaps a few more "towers" (like flight control towers) to give it a more "interesting" look.

but even if you won't do that, it's pretty neat already

Um.... I did one of those ages ago

Bobs rather spiffy subspace 'submarine' cruiser (Neptune, i think it was) probably also fits under the description.
