Supposedly the concept art for the Boanerges was much better looking. Anyone have an image of the concept?

[StratComm]

Watch the credits.  I'd grab it if I had time.

[Admiral Nelson]

Well duh. I bought FS2 the day it came out, and I have never watched the credits...



It does look better, though of course nearly anything would....

[Liberator]

Still needs a turret though.

[Trivial Psychic]

Have any of you ever noticed that none of the FS2 bombers have turrets?

[Liberator]

Well, there only the Boa and Artemis on the GTVA side and the Boa sucks and the Artemis can dogfight some.  All the Vasudan stuff can dogfight, the Bakha especially can dogfight better the Tauret.

The new shivan bombers can dogfight as well, with the Nahema being the better of the two.  Their biggest bombers, the Seraphim and Nephilim, have turrets though.

LOL they went from ripping off the UD-4 dropship from Aliens (one of the 'kewlest' designs ever) to the Bog?  That takes dedication to the science of poor design.

Did it bother anyone else that the ships (cap and fighters) all look totally unrelated in FS2, at least for the Terrans?  Arty and Bog look similar, but totally different from the Purse/Myrm and the Herc2.  Would it have been so hard to have, if not a design lineage, at least related themes like in FS1?

Yes, but those are FS1 & ST bombers, not FS2 ones.

People always complain about this but if you look at FS2 you'll notice that many of the fighters were built by completely different companies.

[Liberator]

Well, they could have at least have the stuff from the same company kind of looking the same.  IE, ships from Triton Dynamics look like they came off the same drawing board like many of todays cars(though granted Chevy's new SST looks like somethin' outta Buck Rogers).

[karajorma]

That I will agree with. I just find it odd when people ask for all terran ships to look similar.

[Setekh]

Dude, awesome. I love the Satis too... it's a strangely beautiful ship.

Completely texture upgraded Asmodeus. Just like the Lucifer this comes in two flavours:

To the left, a version based on the FS1 canon textures (green panels and yellow glows). For the FS2 textures, [V] blackened out the green panels with a paintbrush (horrible horrible) and recoloured the glows red, so the "standard" version will use the base texture (with the panels in it), but have red glows fitting FS2's shivan style. I thought of recolouring the green hull parts, but I kinda liked the green/red contrast in-game (looks better than from the screenies) - however, I might still do it if most people prefer it.

[Singh]

its perfect the way I see it there Lightspeed :tup:

[Liberator]

Is it just me or does the Asmodeus strike as being gigantic(when it's by itself.  I think it's the lights on the bottom fins.

[Trivial Psychic]

I guess transports are next eh?

I think I made that bottom-right one - or one very close to it - a wee while back.

Is it available someplace?

[Rictor]

yes, this is what I was talking about. Like a month or so ago I said youi maid a Boangerses-like ship, it was purple, and you had no idea idea what I meant.

I love that ship, its up there with Venom's new Esheziel.

[Anaz]

hmm. "christmas tree" was my first thought when looking at the FS2 asmodeus...


But...uhh...nice job lighty, you are win
