The File You Are Looking For Is Inaccessible.

sorry about that the links should work now

[Swamp_Thing]

Why do people insist on using Yahoo for pics?? They are too small and go down after a few views, due to bandwith limitations...
The pics are too small to see the details clearly. Looks good, though. Get bigger pics, and use imagehosting or some other, just don´t use Yahoo.

now that, owns ass like a bad case of hemroids

A dedicated carrier outcrop of the Hecate?

[c914]

with this docking like nose...model is new troop transport.

[NGTM-1R]

Hercules variant?

Curse you! Your first model looks better then my 200th...

actually, i designed this to be a terran jugernaut capable of defeating a sathanas for an idea i had for a campaign and the nose thing is a place for a huge beam cannon. I am planning on adding a lot of detail

Cool. Reminds me of a Perseus-like freighter. Welcome to HLP, brugger.

[Fr3z3r]

c914 is right - a PERFECT troop transport for boarding operations.

Texture it, give it slightly more armor than the Argo has, equip with 4 turrets (2 flaks + 2 AAAfs, for example) and there you go.

What's the size of this thing? I think it should be somewhere between Elysium and Argo.

EDIT: I think the "chin" should be placed under the "neck", not under the "head". More docking flexibility.

I'd go with C914's suggestion if I were you. The community is somewhat sick of superjuggernauts and the campaigns they appear in. Most modellers tend to go through a phase where they want to model the biggest, nastiest ship in the galaxy but after a while it just becomes a "who has the biggest dick" competition.

A new troop transport on the other hand would be very useful. Loads of people in the community could find a use for such a thing as not many people model such mundane ships. If you did a good job texturing it as a troop ship I guarentee this would be used

Of course this is your ship so you're welcome to do with it what you want

Make it a traditional destroyer, there are few of them.

Nonono! I hereby INSIST that you make it a great TROOP TRANSPORT.

Karajorma is right. There are too many monster-killers around. Maybe transports don't seem to be THAT exciting, but they're needed. They're necessary for every mature campaign.

Same thing with other specialty ships, like medical frigates (there's the Hippocrates and... what?), freighters, army science vessels, repair craft...

I really love your design, brugger, but it's a troop transport.

[TopAce]

Yes, there are a lot of Monster-killer JUGGERNAUTs, but not destroyers.

[karajorma]

There are more destroyers than Troop Transports though. In fact the only one I can find on my big DVD of mods is Trashman's Barracuda Transport.

[Fr3z3r]

If, by accident , you choose the troop transport route, it'd probably be a good idea to remove the "legs". They make no real sense and a troop transport should be as sleek as possible to avoid as much pounding as possible.

Ideally, make it fast and armored enough to approach the Orion (or Hecate) and still be in a better-than-critical condition.

I thought you had the Svalin transport?

[karajorma]

Don't think so. Is that a finished, poffed model?

Personaly the premise of large ships has never appealed to me, and tend to have a hard time straying away from Fighters Bombers and turrets
