[67th GW Leader]

G'day maties, I bring forward a suggestion for a ship that could possibly be created for FS2.


Archangel


Dominion

It's called the Archangel class, and it is from the (absolutely freakin' incredible) Gundam SEED.

Unit type: battleship
Overall length: 420 meters (main body 345 meters)
Armament: 'Lohengrin' positron blaster gun x 2, 'Gottfried' Mk 71 225 cm high-energy beam gun x 2, 'Valient' 110 cm linear gun x 2, surface-to-ship missile launcher x 24, surface-to-air missile launcher x 16, 'Igelstellung' 75 mm automatic multi-barrel CIWS x 16
Ships of the line: Archangel, Dominion

I'll try to find and then screencap some more detailed pictures of archangel and it's weapon systems. (they all fold out of the ship, so I guess they'd have to be in a permanent state of deployment)

Then there's the "Kusanagi" class battlecruiser, which is made by the same manufactuerer who made the Archangel class... it's a fair bit bigger, and slightly resembles archangel.

PS: Please, if you have been watching this series, don't give away any spoilers to me. I'm on episode 43 at the moment.

Cheers.

I saw that picture before i  read the rest of the thread and I thought "Wow, doesn't that look Gundamy"

I've considered ideas for an anime-type mod, but it'd take anime style ships, like white ships with smooth lines and red insignias firing blue... ive gotten carried away

hey, if you can do it, do it!

Hehe, yeah... one of the less powerful cruisers looks like the GTD Hades.

Anyone else see a wing with hooves and engines?

"Look at my hooooves..."

[67th GW Leader]

The hooves of death, more like. The rounded bit that is cut into the front of them opens up to reveal two HUGE beam cannons.

It's supposed to be reminicent of Pegasus.  I don't like it.  I mean the engine pod is nice and all, but the best redux of the White Base design has been the Albion from 0083, that had the best looking Mobile Suits too.

Basically if you replace the "hooves" with something more like the Albion's booms it'd be nearly perfect.

[Flaser]

MS 0083 would be a better mod too since it is an ideal situation to present both sides without forcing the player to do the dirty work wheter he takes either.

It also had a very wide variety of suits, with the late "monsters" to boost the show.
