Vasudan conversions will be forthcoming once I build turrets to share among those ships; I currently have base Terran turrets that I'm making the most of for the time being.

Add another one to the pile (though I still have to do LODs and Debris)
GTCv Chimera Medium-Light Corvette





Admittedly I like the Bellerophon better - they are supposed to be sister-classes, but one is obviously much heavier than the other (not to mention its lines just came out better).  But this is a pure HTL-ization of a previous design that several people have contacted me about recently, so it goes in here too.

Oh, and I can change the color of the stripes in like 5 seconds (or via texture replacement) so blue isn't necessarily a race-wide color.  It just looked best to my eyes

StratComm, if there were more people like BR and you nothing would stand before the prowess of your skills!

[NGTM-1R]

This one, I like. It feels more Terran-y. Although I'd rather do away with the stripes altogether.

The dark X-shape at the back is giving me visions of the Shadow Omega for some reason, though that's not necessarily a bad thing.

[pyro-manic]

Not really a fan of the Chimera, but the other two are great. Nice work!

[Woolie Wool]

They're all awesome. Me wants.

[InfernoGod]

I want I want I want! Those ships look cool!
Whatever happened to those cool Vasudan ships you made? Was that you? Or was it somebody else... time to search the forums. But, IIRC, you made about two Vasudan cruisers, I think two corvettes, and two destroyers. Maybe I'm thinking about someone else.

EDIT: Yep, it was you. THESE ships: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,26500.0.html
What happened to them?

[StratComm]

I swear, no one reads anymore.

So I'll get to them when I get to them  The Vasudan Corvette has gone to Inferno, and there's already a version of one of the destroyers out.  Everything else hasn't left my hard drive, nor will it until I'm ready .

Y'know... of those Vasudan designs in the other thread, I must say the only one I like is the Pharoah. And only from the top. The side isn't bad, but from the top, I like it. I'm not a fan of the X front end on the other one. But I'm really hyper critical of Vasudan designs... So take from that what you will.

Of these designs;
I like the body of the second one, verily. I'd have done something different with the 'head' portion, but then, I'm not you. It's a fairly nice ship. Looks like Torpedoes in the front.

The first design... I'm not liking much. The nose has a distinct lack of shape, and the disc section... well, I don't like discs.

The last ship you posted... is not bad, but I'm not crazy about it either.I think it's just the general cylindrical shape of it. It seems like it needs something more.  

Just my $0.02, though. You're doing good at making your own style.

so when are these modifications coming out exactly, just so i can keep my eyes open when i need to

I'll pack them up and release them all together, or at least that's what I had in mind.  Actually, if I can finish the other Terran ships I have around, and there are only something like two, I'd like to get what I can released before I leave for spring break.

[StratComm]

I know, I know, it looks like the Taiidan destroyer.  It's a homage, if you will.

GTC Hyperion:







And because it looks cool, ENGINES!!!

[NGTM-1R]

Well, since I LIKE the Taiidani Destroyer...

I don't like your turrets much, though, I must admit.

[Descenter]

All i have to say about them is, as long as they fire properly, it's good enough for me.

Apparently the game has some trouble distinguishing between submodels named "gunturret-1" and "gunturret-10".  Takes a while to rename every submodel reference in a pof file, and the tables to match

[StratComm]

I'm off for spring break, so here's what I've got for the time being.  I'll be around, but unable to work on anything.  Have fun!
EDIT: Link removed, see first post for up-to-date pack

[Grug]

Wow, great stuff StratComm.

The GTC Hyperion looks like its got a bit of the Cataclysm Mothership in it too.

Hehe, thanks for this.

[MetalDestroyer]

Thanks for the big pack !

[StratComm]

I should add a note to this; the tables work with FS2, but utterly fail with FRED.  The reason is the animation code tidbits on the multipart turrets; it makes the ships look much more aggressive by default but FRED doesn't recognize the flags.  To fix it, open the .tbm file and comment out or remove any lines after a "$Default PBank" in a turret declaration.

Is that why my game crashes when i try to start FS2?  Comes up with an error parsing the ships.tbl and it is only present when i added the text into my file.
