GTDn Atlas - (real texturer and turreter wanted)
If you would like to texture/turret this, please do!
As soon as some amazingly awesome ub3r cool 1337 person makes this, I am going to make use of it in my campaign, and perhaps make a couple of seperate missions showing it off. I already have some good ideas :)


For a while I was interested in making sketches of ships I made up (as horrible as I am at sketching) and I decided to post this one here.



The ATLAS project was started 5 months ( :nervous: ) after the Cappella Incident to create powerful ships that were smaller, faster, and easier to produce. It took 3 years to design the hull and weapons of this ship, but an additional 6 years to design small and powerful enough reactors and subsytems. After those 9 years of planning, they finnaly came up with this:

WARNING! Pictures may be out of scale!


Herc 1 near fighter bay for scale


NOTE: this is a perfectly semetracle ship (except for subsystems) so if a weapon is on the right side, there is another one on the left. Ones that are on edges (top, bottom, front, rear) might have none, 1, or 2 white lines by it. If there is no white lines by it, there is 1 turret in the middle of the side, if 1 white line, there are 2 evenly spaces turrets, ETC.

Large red dots: SPECGREEN (a more powerful BFGreen with a quicker firing rate)
Small red dots: SGreen2 (same as the Sgreen, but much better fire rate)
Orange dots: AAA2 (more powerful)
Purple dots: Terslash2 (longer life time)
Blue dots: Terran turret
Brown dot/barrel: terran huge turret
Green dots: flak2 (more powerful / longer range)

5x SPECGreen
2x TerSlash2
9x Flak2
7x AAA2
16x Terran Turret
6x SGreen2
11x Terran huge turret

56 total turrets

This is currently the most advanced vessel in the known part of the galaxy and costed only (ha!) as much as 5 and 2/3 Deimos corvettes. If not the vertical integration of the GTVA goverment, the price for this ship might be as much as 9 Hecate class destroyers. This is mostly due to the rarity of the reactor core fuel, which requires a very rare isotope of neon. Usually, armor is only inches thick with a very tightly compacted form of a compound called 'Blako', a combination of Titanium, Iron, platnum, and magnesium. The armor for this vessel adds zinc, which not only strengthens the armor but makes it nice and shiny, and is 2 feet thick. The advance computer systems not only reduce crew size, but are more compact, allowing more room foor fighter bays and weapon systems.


FEATURES:

Better turret targeting system
Fighter bay
Most advance reactor
Cruiser bay
Small transport bay (above cruiser bay; can be converted into extra fighter bay)

STATS:

Top velocety: 30m/s

Armor: 500,000 (5 times orion)

Fighter capacity:    main bay: 7 fighter wings, 6 bomber wings -- Extra Bay: 4 fighter wings, 2 Bomber wings

Crusier capacity: (Aeouls or similarly shaped only) 2

Transport capacity: 5 Elysium or 2 Argo

Looks a little too much like a Rhineland [sp?] Frigate from Freelancer, but otherwise it ain't bad.

Rheinland, and you are right.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Well at least it's engines arn't green with smoke spewing out.  :shaking:

Anyway, this thing could pwn the entire Rheinland fleet! They wouldn't stand a chance! I'd warp in behind them, firing my forward beams, then when I slow down enough, deploy my two crusiers along with an escort of 5 Aries fighters and 4 wings of Bonegredes. Of course, I'd take out the transports and fill that bay with fighters. I'd deploy the rest of the fighters to escort the Atlas, then the two cruisers and me would flank them as all the bombers annailate their Frigates/crusiers. I'd (the Atlas) would go for all the battleships and once I get a good chunk of the battleships damaged, the two Aeouls would move in and mop up all their fighters and gunboats. If either of the crusiers got damaged too badly (15% or less), they'd warp out. After a while all thier crusiers would be gone because of all the bombers, so everyone would pummle the battleships, because whats left of their fighter compliments would be either destroyed or badly damaged, so I'd be able to take care of them. After they die, I'd go and kill Kusari. Then I'd go nomad hunting.

I think I forgot to take my pills today.  :nervous:



Also:

The Aeuols is pretty bad, but I think The HLP Station is pretty good. I based it off that render that that guy made.

Hmmm, that station looks an awful lot like the Space Station from the first season of the Justice League cartoon series... :nervous:

Version 3:



I added 4 more turrets on the bottom (but you can't see 2 of them), a Rakshasa, and a manticore.

EDIT:

Wee!



Click on the picture. It looks ALOT better with normal resolution.

Took me a little over an hour I think for the 3d ship, and mayby another hour (if that) for the planet and other ships.

EDIT: I hope noone notices the mistake I made :nervous:

FIXED!!! except the Astaraoths engines are still horrible. The rakshasa was bad to, so I covered it up with explosions.

Clearly someone hasn't played with the media VPs installed :p

Purple is the new red.  And it's the color of Shivan afterburners apparently.
