bob, while I have nothing against the fact that somebody else work on the same things I'm already working on (I'm extremely SLOW and I couldn't grant when I'll have finished it), it makes me a little upset to don't get advised, since I hate to waste time. You knew that I was working on a deimos too, and if it was your intention to do the same you could have PMed me: it'd have saved me from wasting some time recently;).
 

... I did?

Hey, fine by me. A little competitivity never hurt anyone.

What say this...the winner gets a barrel of Bosch Beer. We space the loser. Agreed? Good.

On your marks, get set, GO!

[vyper]

Nah the looser just has to greeble the hi-poly version of the Sathanas.

[Bobboau]

would anyone object to me adding geometry for a fighter bay?

[vyper]

we'd probably kiss you instead... LM certainly would I suspect.

*waits for peanuts to come*

[Bobboau]

eh, I'll add it later

[WMCoolmon]

I didn't think the Deimos HAD a fighterbay...

[Liberator]

It's great, but I have one question.  Why does the aft ventral engine pod have a ram scoop?

[Bobboau]

becase it looks cool

and it doesn't have a fighter bay, but it has been sudjested a few times and could be helpfull to homesick (ect)

It doesn't in vanilla fs2 but we've seen Corvettes operating independently in contested systems in fs2 that it'd make sense to allow it storage area for a small escort contingent.

Or that's my logic anyway.

[WMCoolmon]

Have we actually "seen" them? I'm thinking that there might be versions modified with a fighterbay that sacrifice weapons/engine power for a fighterbay and all the supplies required for it.

Noooooo! While a fighterbay would be cool, I'm loathe to let you screw with canon . I'd do a version with, and a version without. I've got some plans for a Deimos carrier variant, which I aim to do when I actually learn how to make models ( ), but it changes it fairly drastically (it'll look like it's pregnant).  If you're gonna do it, make it very small, so it's more of a cargo/shuttle bay that can be used for fighters if need be. I think anything more than 2 wings would be too much for the Deimos in it's standard form.

Do what you want
That makes me think...
"goes to change his sig"

[Bobboau]

I'm going to make the ubberized cannon one first, then make a fighter bay variant

[Liberator]

The problem is the Deimos was designed to virtually replace the destroyer in combat to allow the larger ship to not be put at risk.  To make room for a fighterbay and all that goes with it(it's not just a hole to stash fighters in, there's ordinance, support crew to house and feed) of what was previously power generation and heat sinks for the cannons, as well as the cannon mechanisms themselves would have to go to make room for all the extra crap a fighter bay brings to a ship.  So I have to vote no on a fighterbay equipped Deimos, maybe you could do a variant and call it the Aegyptus or something.

Bah, if the shivan managed to put a fighter bay on the Moloch, I don't see why the Deimos couldn't have one either.

[Bobboau]

ok for the third time now, fighter bay version after cannon.

I've got textureing done, and have a version in game, going to break now.
there are some screwy normals hear and there, but nothing to be worried about, it's a side effect of me rushing to get it in game, no turrets, no nohting.
interestingly there's not even 2,000 polies, have yet to do anything overly experemental (like the window thingy I am going to try)

[kv1at3485]

But the Moloch bay is puny.  It's not really a practical method for carrying any support worth mentioning.
