Reminds me more of Homeworld 1.

[General Battuta]

Reminds me of a thing I can't talk about but looks a lot like that

[Droid803]

Aren't there already bigass asteroids from whatever mod?
I know one of them was used in the ED Demo.

[General Battuta]

BtRL had the scaroid, yeah

Well ED uses background bitmaps for eyecandy now.

[Droid803]

But the 'roid was cool since the AI would fly into it!

[Snail]

I never actually played the ED demo...

[Pred the Penguin]

Pretty explosions!

[Androgeos Exeunt]

The Amazon looks vaguely Shivan there.

[Kusanagi]

Imagine if that asteroid had white brackets.

[Marcov]

It's a Sathanas, and my own version of the Gargant behind it (you can vaguely see an asteroid behind them)



Viewing from my own Gargant:



And here's the asteroid, about twice bigger than the Death Star I (the Sath is barely visible now):



Sorry for the rather glaring pics, but I had to brighten them so they can be clearer (Corel Capture's fault ).

[Kolgena]

Does the asteroid poof if you shoot it 3 times with subachs?

[Marcov]

No, I gave it 100 trillion hitpoints. 

So even if you ~Shift-K it it will take about 28 hours to destroy it.

Come to think of it, the Gargant isn't that hard to make, perhaps even one with not much skill can make one.

- you just have to strecth the Sath like I did, remodel it a bit, perhaps change the position of the turrets slightly, give it meaner weapons, edit its .tbl file, and that's it. You probably don't even have to add turrets since you can make all 53 UReds or something, since the player won't engage it anyway (even if the player does, it can't do anything, really).

[Mobius]

You need more than that to make the Gargant. It has to be invincible, and that's not something you can accomplish with trillions of hitpoints.

Uhm, I really want that asteroid, or a shorter version of it. Is it available?

[General Battuta]

Just do what he did, scale an asteroid model up in PCS2.

[Kolgena]

I want to see a ship the size of that asteroid. Nothing says scary like turrets the size of a knossos.

[Mobius]

Oh, so that's the trick? Wouldn't that reduce the details significantly?

[Snail]

I want to see a ship the size of that asteroid. Nothing says scary like turrets the size of a knossos.

Then do what Marcov did. It's not hard.

[Kolgena]

Hey, I'm just giving random ideas for screenshots.

I myself have no idea how to use FRED and/or PCS2 to do this.
