Yeah. Its the Defiant meets a PATCOM.

BTW. Has anyone made PATCOM or Dreagnought corvett for FS? Those ships are just damn good looking...

[FireCrack]

Someone was making the EoC tachyon patcom a while back IIRC

Re-al-ity? What's that? Can I eat it?

Feh. Battleships and Carriers are the big beasts. Corvettes are little ones. Destroyers are up there above cruisers. Destroyers are escort craft for carriers and act as a screen against smaller, more manueverable craft.

Anything else is abomination.

If you follow Western WW2 convections, a Frigate was originally conceived as a Super Corvette.

Nice... I would ditch the wongs completely..

Was intended as a Falcon/Defiant cross breed, so about right (I don't know much/anything about IDW)

Also, the wings are there because this ship is atmospheric capable.

Currently, we have the GTT Icarus (at least till I think or better name, 'Star Rider' is possible).  The (3 decked) Lear Jet of FS travel (can carry cargo and/or passengers (hence all those windows)):



I'll see about rounding off the nose (and shortening it a little, whole crafts at a nice length ATM).  Reluctant to edit wings much (had huge amounts of trouble getting them right first time).

And since  I'm feeling nice, here's a sneak-peek at the GTGs Trogen, the military spec gunship:

NOTE: Picture is now out-of-date

It gets it's name since the crews sometimes broadcast a 'fake' ID code, telling hostiles that the 'Trogen' is acutally a standard 'Icarus' transport.  The pilots can't tell the differance until their close enough... by which point it's too late...:devil:

I'm considering adding four tiny turrets, each mounting a single Subach HL-7, above and below the docking port on the Trogen (would have pic, but program locked up as I was trying to save it to floppy:hopping: ).

Oh, and how does one lvlshot?


[EDIT]'lvlshot'ed. Thanks;)

[Anaz]

You use the [ lvlshot][ /lvlshot] tags.

If you care about that sort of naming thing, I made an Icarus a long time ago (and it's in TVWP) as a science ship (the first jump-capable ship according to my fluff). And I believe it's spelled "Trojan" (google agrees with me).

[Martinus]

[color=66ff00]Anaz beat me to it.

Personally I think that your design is pretty excellent, I'd be wary of the big windows in the passenger version as it makes the ship look a bit too flimsy.

Your call though.

I see your point.  It's really only the top deck windows that count though, and the FS equialent of 'Ten Forward'!;)

I might remove a few from the upper deck...

And your proberly right about the spelling Anaz.

[Mongoose]

Nuts...I was expecting to see a real Trojan Horse in-game. That model's very nice, though.

[Taristin]

o/" Trojan Man! o/"


Anywho, it's too round for my liking. Perhaps proper textures will change my opinion, though.

[AqueousShadow]

Silly Greeks and their condoms.

Anyway, in those recent shots, the ship looks really good overall, so the nose can stay just as it is. Quite a pretty ship you've got there.

[Raptor]

I said I had a pic of those mini-turrets, and here it is:



And here is the latest version, with nearly all sections combined (and the 'baby blue' removed:D):


I've rounded the nose off, shortened it a little, and removed a few of the upper deck windows.  The wings are also marginly thicker at the pivot point.


I've knocked up an 'Alpha' Pof, for testing of the ships tbl entry (and it's custom weapons).  It works, but I need to really bug the SCPers about turrets (again:sigh: ).  Are they ever going to fix the turret code?

If people want it, I can release the Alpha version for play-testing.

[knn]

That looks much better. I like the nose too

[karajorma]

I like it. It looks civi

[NGTM-1R]

Needs different, nicer textures...bad.

[knn]

It doesn`t look like it`s textured. But the colors are ok

[NGTM-1R]

If it has any sort of coloration at all, it must be textured in some way. It's not all one color, ergo...

Putting a singlecolored texture on stg <> texturing. FS2 wouldn`t display it without a texture anyway.

But the point is that this color combination is better than the green-silver one.
