eh? since when is 12 fighters a squadron? i was always under the impression that there were like 40... i read it someplace...

well, nvm, then. i guess its possible, if expensive...

[TrashMan]

1 wing = 4 fighters
3 winges = 1 squadron = 12 fighters...

ERm.. I'll see what more people think upon this matter before i decide on the final fightercapacity...

[Grimloq]

ah, thanks for clearing that up...

Alright a new high poly version of the LANCER.  Wasn't the original done by you? I forgot but I think it came out same time as the phoenix fighter (one of the more cooler designs I like)...


  Remember when it could only take 3 textures and I made it look like it was watching you? (UGH!) lol

  "Those eyes!!!"

[TrashMan]

Actually I have 2 version of the Lancer - older one, and neweer one with more polys.

This is a new ship, the GTCar Cavalier, but roughly based on the Lancer design...

Yes..the Phoenix is my pride and joy!
But what do you mean with those textures????

I'd say so. The Orion only carries 120 and has an extra kilometre to pack them into.

[TrashMan]

Yea, but he allso has more armor and firepower....

Hmm.. 6 squadrons? That would be 72 fighters...

[Grimloq]

closer... id say.

[Getter Robo G]

Nevermind! Hopefully I destroyed every pic I had of that blashphemy! It was my second texture attempt. The first being the Vandal fighter, a Lar's design I think (and god I did unspeakable texturing!)

For months I worried the texture police were comming!

[Grimloq]

dont worry. my textureing cant be that much better than yours.

Sounds much more reasonable. I think I used similar figures for my Charon class Carrier which is roughly the same sort of size.

Of course, you also have to figure in a lot of other factors: Bunk space for crew and pilots, crew facilities, storage of fighter munitions, spare parts, AND adequet work space to maintain fighter craft.

[TrashMan]

Hmmm... maby I should make it 1400m long..

Erm... we'll I'll go add more detail on that model and give it some textures, and then I'll see abut that number, but I'm probably gonna keep it at 6 squadrons...

[Eviscerator]

6 Squadrons is prolly good for a Strike Carrier.

Think 3 Bomber Squadrons: 1 Heavy, 2 Medium
3 Fighter Squadrons: 1 Interceptor, 1 Fleet Defense, 1 Space Superiority.

Maybe add a Recon Detachment of 6 craft.

Need those stations,,, very badly.
