Need to put in some engine pods (probably above the rear shoulders) and an extra special missile turret ontop.
Hopefully some FRED trickery will allow the "claws" to open and close when appropiate.

Based on a ship from one of Alod's modeldumps.

Not bad at all, I like how it just looks like a bigger Poseidon, Good work:nod:

[Taristin]

I love the claws! Absolutely love them!

But this isn't the Poseidon. It'd have to be a Mk II. No biggy, though.

[Blitzerland]

Oooh nice.

Magatsu, yer on a role. First, the you made for me, then the bizzare Orion, then this.

A rolling stone gathers no weasels. Remember that, remember that.

[Deepblue]

It looks like a monkey hugging a tree...

[Trivial Psychic]

I disagree... it looks more like a sloth.

[Blitzerland]

Woah, woah. Before we diss it, let us wait for Magatsu1 to actually texture it.

Give em' a chance, you fools! I'll crush you! CRUSH!

[Deepblue]

Your right, it does look like a sloth.

[Taristin]

A sloth with some killer cool feet.

[StratComm]

I want to see the top before I make up my mind.  But from what I can see, it looks promising.

[Black Wolf]

Decrease the size of the cargo container and give it a really weird dockpath and it might work, but I don;t think this'll move too well when you tell it to dock with anything.

Cool feet though.

[Cyker]

Never diss a giant sloth that has a missile launcher on it's back.


Looks nifty, 'tho for some bizzare reason I get Frontier: Elite2 flashbacks when I look at it

[c914]

for mee it looks like dog without tail:wtf:
magatsu ...please change grabing arms

[magatsu1]

doesn't take tile textures very well and I've never done  a texture map so I'm in a bit of a bind at the mo.

[Taristin]

You need to close the seem from the mirror a bit better.

And UVMapping isn't nearly as hard as it is boring.

[Galemp]

ooh, from the top it looks almost Shivan (FS1 style.)

[Deepblue]

Okay that DEFINITELY looks like a sloth.

[TrashMan]

Ship looks great, only the arms look...well..too human/animal like

First, the claws will nnot be able to open/close so you can just as well drop them.

Second..change the holding arms.
If you ask me, one pair of arms (front) in an L shape (facing the rear) should do the trick..

[magatsu1]

I thought FRED Open's lock/rotate subsystem could make thew clamps do their thang.


Edit: hm, they would haved to rotate in opposite directions so you may be right.

[Night Hammer]

How do plan on texturing it?
