How do you do the fancy thing with LODs so the fighterbay isn't always so high-poly?

I'd like to know too, I know it needs to be a seperate subsystem, but thats all I know.

Nice pics of these ships guys! They are really sexy looking ships. Altough I liked the first model of the Triton carrier better the second one looks like its been in frontal crash or something.

Dont get me wrong the second one is sexy looking to but I like'em a lil' bit sleeker.

Nice ones. Hope to be able to play a campign with these models soon!

Well I've thrown something together ah-hock for the moment with bits and pieces of my collection, I really like the bays on the original model

I'm starting to play around with UVing the original model. The beveled sections shouldn't be too hard to do, piece by piece. Although, it's going to take a while

Scooby man, You have got an excellent Confederation style, The best uniformity to a fleet since the Victory battlegroups advancement to Kilrah.

DEKKER >>>> "Awe"
Are these all going to be released as a pack?

Unless there was something screwy with the scaling on export, I think it's large enough. If you pack them in, the TDP can carry 2 full squadrons of fighters, plus a wing of bombers (or another squad of fighters). That should be sufficient for whatever you send this to.

I'm sort of playing round with UVing this at the moment, it's not going to be quick though, I suppose I could do it the 'quick' way, but I can always see my own shortcuts.

I'll see how things go

Scooby_Doo · **Reply #46 on:** June 08, 2006, 03:50:04 pm

Cool I'll let flipside do the UVing then (besides you've got better Freespace style texturing than what I can do) :-)
Colonol, as soon as I get the subobject loding done, i'll be posting it.

Thanks Axem for the link, and thanks for the great model.

BTW, doesn't it kinda resemble a modified B5 Omega destroyer's front section?

Axem · **Reply #47 on:** June 08, 2006, 04:24:40 pm

Yay, people are doing stuff with it.

Scooby_Doo: Hehe, sorta. I liked the spires on the Omega (and other B5 ships) and borrowed the idea, and at first the top fighterbay was a lot more similar to the Omega's but tweaked it a bit later.

Hey Axem, wanna do an Vasudan "arcadia"?

Axem · **Reply #49 on:** June 08, 2006, 05:23:30 pm

Sorry but no. I have quite a bit on my plate as it is, and it'd probably either be not worked on for months or forgotten.

Read this thread, it tells you.

AlphaOne · **Reply #51 on:** June 09, 2006, 03:19:35 am

Umm so that thing can carry 100 spacecrafts??? Thta the complement of an Orion isnt it.

Oh heres something i wanted to ask if the Orion carries some 100 fighters and BOMBERS with the bommers beeing actualy 2 or 3 times the size of a fighter then by putting solely fighters in it could you actualy increase the number of spacecrafts a ship can carry?

Axem · **Reply #52 on:** June 09, 2006, 08:45:02 am

Sure.

Now in my pic that had the fighters inside a wireframe of my carrier, I was able to fit 24 fighters and 3 bombers. However this would leave little room for anything else. So perhaps 24 fighters, or 12 fighers and 3 bombers, or 6 bombers. Of course being a mission designer, you could flaunt this and make however many fighters you want come out. Be it 5 fighters, 100 bombers, or even 9 Colossuses in there if you so choose.

TrashMan · **Reply #53 on:** June 09, 2006, 05:40:15 pm

I could allready immagine hte shivan faces when they engage this vesel..

*Screee...screeee* "Small enemy vessel. neutralize it"

"Shivans inbound. Abattle stations! Launch the COLOSSUSSES/COLOSSI!!!"

*WTFSCREEEE????*

Scooby_Doo · **Reply #54 on:** June 09, 2006, 07:06:04 pm

HAHAHA 100 Collussi come barreling out the bay...

*GACK!!!!!*

AlphaOne · **Reply #55 on:** June 10, 2006, 10:07:35 am

now that would be really funny to see!

Scooby_Doo · **Reply #56 on:** June 21, 2006, 06:22:50 pm

Hey Axem, might want to see what's become of your Triton :-)

Sorry I had to remove some of the bevelling so that I could bevel someplace else...

Solatar · **Reply #57 on:** June 21, 2006, 06:37:57 pm

ooh...me likes.

Axem · **Reply #58 on:** June 21, 2006, 06:42:18 pm

Awesome.

I really love the bridge, or head, or whatever that hammer head thing on top is.

And not a problem with the bevelling. Since its being used as a completely different model now, I wouldn't expect everything to be the exact same.

Goober5000 · **Reply #59 on:** June 21, 2006, 06:49:05 pm

While that's a super model, I'd still like to see the cargo pod completed.
