"Are you still using the Icelus? If you are, are you using an updated model? Because the old one looks crap. "

Hey thats my very first terran ship i did, when i know as Apothess. That was made god knows how many years ago(2000/01 i think).
I will admit compared to most models now it looks dated, could do with the an update but i no longer have the cob file or a modeling program to do it.
Is that still in?

[Snail]

 

Sorry, starbug.

Anyway, I just think it looks crap because of the textures, the amount of turrets it has (less than the old one!!), the size of the turrets (smaller than the retail hecate) and the location and design of the fighterbay (how the hell would any fighters fit in that tube?).

[Dark Hunter]

From Reci.

The other Anhur is a straaange looking fighter.

And the Petbe isn't? 
Was the design of the Petbe based off of that shot in the credits, cause they look quite similiar...

[Snail]

The Petbe is also strange. I'm just saying they're both weird.

And yes it's based on that credit scene. The Ennead and the Jotun are also from the creds.

[starbug]

i will admit that the fighterbay is a bit odd, but when i made that model the only guide's to FS modeling were for fighters so i had no idea how big to make the model. As for the the turrets, i didn't put them on i only made the base model, then gave it to Woo to do with it as he please's, although looking at the credits ingame i was forgotten to get the credit for that one woo

[Snail]

I actually like the base model except for the fighterbays, because it developes on the 'new Terran ships are smoother' thing. Most MODs don't have that smooth developement that the Deimos was trying to create.

[Woomeister]

The Ennead and the Jotun are also from the creds.

A lot of INF models are  concept models from either the FS1/2 credits.

The Icelus isn't used anymore, it's replaced by the Raynor.

[Snail]

Cool! Does the Raynor still have all the firepower it was supposed to have (BGreen-calibre beams on the big turrets)?

And how many gun mounts does the Mihos have? I hope it has at least 6 because if not then why is it a space superiority fighter? If it doesn't it better have superior maneuverability and speed to the Myrmidon.

[Woomeister]

No

Mihos has 4 guns.

[Snail]

Is it superior to the Myrmidon? How many guns does Ezechiel have? 8, right?

BTW, is there any nonsensical techno crap on Railguns, Plasma Cannons, Kenetic Weapons and Neutron Guns? I always wondered how each of them work in techno bull**** (like how the Tsunami is 'anti matter')

[Woomeister]

The Ezechiel has 4 as well.

[Snail]

What about technological advancement for the last 30 years?

[Woomeister]

If all fighters were uber ones the game would be too easy.

[Mobius]

I undepowered the Raynor when I inserted it in The Southern Cross,I agree with Woo's choice.

What about technological advancement for the last 30 years?

How about changing the primary weapons,making then powerful?

[Woomeister]

The Boreas is our heavy destroy class, so the Raynor doesn't carry heavy weapons.

[Mobius]

The Boreas is our heavy destroy class, so the Raynor doesn't carry heavy weapons.

That's the only reason?
The Raynor has a lack of fighter/bomber capacity while the Boreas not.It would make the Raynor a second class destroyer(wasn't it long 3 kms?More than a normal destroyer).

[Woomeister]

Our Raynor carries more fighters than the Boreas.

[Mobius]

Our Raynor carries more fighters than the Boreas.

You changed the POF,because it's not designed to carry a lot of fighters/bombers.
Near its fighterbay there are the engines,there isn't so much space.
It can launch only a few number of fighters/bombers per time.

[off topic on]
I went here http://inferno.hard-light.net/UMods.htm but there aren't any links for add on stuff,neither in the modding guide(except the nodemap).How'd Snail download the Claymore Mk.III then?
[off topic off ]

[Woomeister]

He doesn't have the Calymore Mark III.

[Mobius]

He doesn't have the Calymore Mark III.

????????
I saw many ships in his scrrenshots I do not have!
Where did he get those missions?Where did he get that Claymore Mk.III(I'm sure there was one of them,it wasn't like the other Clays)?Where did he get that Vasudan warship I ever seen before?And that Station that is pretty different from the Arcas?
