These might look good in Freespace:

I don't like 'em. Sorry.

HH ships aren't about looking good. They're about killing things. The models are actually pretty well done.

The problem is that Honourverse really wouldn't work in Freespace. Even ships of the wall who fight in very close proximity are tens of kilometers apart (more than that I think in fact).

I suppose it might be possible to make some missions based around pinaces fighting each other but you wouldn't be able to put capships in.

Which is a pity cause I'd love to play a HH game. I think you'd need to design the engine from ground up though. Nothing springs to mind as being at all suitable for a realistic mod.

Of course if you just want to do a HH ships blasting each other at close range style hybrid mod that might be fun. It would lose a lot of the original's flavour though. Especially as the only remotely realistic thing you could give the player to fly would have to be a several thousand ton Shirke

The modeling is good, but the ships are uuuuuugly.

[Akalabeth Angel]

Btw, these aren't my models. They're pictures for some miniatures coming out for a table-top HH game.

Indeed, the only logical thing for a player to use is a LAC, most likely indeed one of the Shrike classes. And even then, graser range is measured in hundreds of kilometers or more. Generally, even close up sneak attacks (Think the battle of Cerberus, Honor going in balistic and grasering the Peeps) are near a light-second apart. (The exact range in the book, IIRC).

I'd love to see a proper Honorverse game, but it's impossible to do true to the books without going back to something with very little graphics but a bridge display, and perhaps a few visuals for extreme telescopic view.

Under impeller drive, the cap ships are often over a hundred kilometers away from eachother, so even then you wouldn't see much.

I am resisting the urge to make the obvious leud remarks regarding these designs.

Tabletop HH game? Must play...

Got any good links?

[Swamp_Thing]

Two ugly dildos... Where do we put the batteries?

[kasperl]

ST: Read the books, and shut up untill you've done so.

Now if it was an0n's GTD Dildo on the other hand...

..oh and the whole submaribe thing, there big and cylendrical, swamp obviously like cock ... i'll let you figure the rest out.

[Fineus]

Would you guys please give the whole "it looks like a cock" thing a rest? Try and give the guy a hand with modelling improvements sure, but you're all old enough to show a bit of maturity.

Kindly show it.

I predict something with actual turrets would eat them alive.

[Unknown Target]

Yea, if you could get a Demos above it, theres' no way it could kill it by the looks of it, but the Deimos could use it's turrets to fire straight down into it.

*is amused by your igorance of HH universe*

See, the HH ships move by bending gravity around them in a wedge. Basically there is a "gravity belt" above the ship that warps light, and no munitions/laser/etc... can pass through.

[Unknown Target]

So...how do you kill them?
