Does the word "quick job" say anything? And Mefustae, hehe... my Hurricanes are the same length as the Big C but I'll try getting it in the render.

Wow.....that's huge......

(snaps back to reality)

Anyhow, I don't think the stripes look that bad.  Nice BIG ship BTW.

On an unrelated note has anyone tried to make an Executor class Imperial Super Star Destroyer at real scale yet?

That's an 8km Executor - too short. Proper length is 17.6 kms.

What is a Zbuffer anyways? And BlackDove, I never saw the Hades or heard what weapons it has. And the stripes stay unless you want a very plain looking ship because that stripe gives it luster and a powerful feeling. Besides, its the new faction's signature color scheme. (as a side note, the striped ship's entire upper portion is completely armor, very thick, and almost no windows and stuff)

Not to highjack but, POST your gartantuan ships!


Scale:

  Domsday Machine 15k (Klingon Academy)

         Vs.

  Gorg Boldoza base  80km (Rowhider)





Also, I attacked it in a Gundam  RX-78 . Took a half hour to blow away the beam cannon, then flew down the cap ship tunnel to the core...

  Biggest problem with large ships the the blow up time. It took 22 mins to completely blow up all the while the debris were flying away at breakneck speed in opposite directions of the split!  (So use on death or 1% hull = Kamikaze).



WARNING (an Actual assault on a turret larger than most capships  is NOT the smartest move. Fortress Weapon system was locked out for maintenance in this scenario) :D



Sweet...

Could you just make a separate thread for your other big ships? I'd kinda like to keep this thread devoted to giving feedback to Vengeance's model. :)
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

It is 17.6km, BW. Remember the Colossus is 12.

I keep hearing the enthusiastic Colossus cutscene guy shout in my head, "Twelve kilometers from bow to stern, the Colossus has taken over TWENTY YEARS to complete!" But I think I'm mixing that up with the "Twelve Lucifer-class destroyers could fit within its MASSIVE hull!"

1: Big C is 6km long and fits 12 lucifers. I have the colossus video right here in avi format and playing right now.

and 2: I don't mind posting your giant ships, this thread IS about the largest ships.

And guys, I'll be modeling my 12km long ship called the Eternity soon. If I get better at coding, it will definately replace the Big C, I would love to see a Sathanas try to beat that! Though I don't like bragging, when I was creating my TC storyline it included the creation of a new armor called Firestorm. Firestorm is a metal created by energy, as unusual as it seems the scientists managed to reverse Einstien's formula of E=mc2 to create mass from energy. This new metal is unlike anything before it. Firestorm is completely immune to energy weapons (but the hull under the armor is still affected by the heat dispersion) and highly resistant to projectiles and the Eternity is completely plated by this metal making it almost undefeatable.

Before this becomes a physics arguement, my storyline is fiction and nothing more and it is all made up. But even with that nearly invurnerable armor... well read the story:

Several enemy ships broke through the line of fire and accelerated towards the eternity at ramming speed. Normally one wouldn't have a chance at moving the massive Eternity but 32 broke through and combined their power and rammed the Eternity into planet Lagra's gravitational field and the Eternity, despite its full engines power, was pulled into the atmosphere. Admiral Mason knew his ship was going down but he wasn't dead yet. He ordered his pilot and navigator to have the Eternity crash land as flatly as possible. If the massive ship landed at an angle it would snap in half but luckily the pilot succeeded in crashing flatly. --- skipping ahead --- Thrusting all power to repulsar drives, the Eternity managed to get off the ground and started its accent. Mason watched his ship rise in his panel's monitor. They left a camera on the ground when they retreated back to the ship and Mason wanted to keep the recording even though he wanted to forget the events that transpired on the surface. As he watched the video he saw what remained of the Eternity's lower hull. Though most of the armor didn't fall off the under hull was completely shattered.

So given the mass of the ship, the speed of reentry, and the force of the impact combined destroyed the armor. ok, back on track.
I have created a masterpiece.

I was also remembering a conversation from "Homesick" regarding the GTVA Colossal, which contained the parts of 12 Lucifer class destroyers. :lol:

There's always the GTWTF Ubercube.

120km from bow to stern, it contains the parts of over 300 Doomcube-class destroyers!

None of it matters if it looks out of place and ugly. Model itself = original and pretty great.

New Textures = win :yes:
