[Scooby_Doo]

Detroyer class next


Athena.

Comes with  a small fighter bay.

Athena is located here: http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/Finished_Mods/Athena-01-22-07.vp.rar
Updated: new textures, reduced textures and massively increased hitpoints/shield. It's now comparable to the Tellehasse, which is about the same length and many times the mass as the Tellie.

Is located here now: http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/Finished_Mods/Athena-09-20-07.rar

The athena was started from one of the Homeworld 1 B5 mod EA ship (i can't remember the name anymore).

OOOOhhhhhh! Nice!!!!!!!

BTW the Semi-Canon Crossbow looks a little like two Blackbird stealth bombers spliced together side by side.  I likey very much!

And the Athena Destroyer, well, what can I say but "                !                "   <--*I'm Speechless*

...Did you mean a Blackbird in WCS?  Because the SR-71 Blackbird is a stealth spy plane... they were going to make it a fighter, but there was the problem of ejecting the missiles at speed, as well as going faster than the bullets it would fire... so they made it a spy plane.  Never been shot down.  Ever.    (Although rumor has it that quite a few Russian fighters were shot down when the ground AAA sites fired so many missiles in an attempt to bring it down that they hit their own craft.) 
PS: Blackbird countermeasures: push throttle forwards and laugh your butt off.

Ummmm??? Maybe I was thinking of the Firefox from the film??? but that picture you showed ain't it??

[jr2]

That pic is real.  Mach 3+ real.  EDIT: go to the site I linked to; click on "SR-71 photos" on the right hand side.

I think you misunderstood me, I meant that the picture you showed ain't the plane I was thinking of not the picture you showed ain't the SR-71 Blackbird.

BTW if you haven't seen it!

I must have been thinking of the MiG-31 Firefox (pic attached) or something similar an early Stealth Bomber or fighter that looked like the Firefox yet with a wider fuselage at the front?

*Edited due to fubared attachment*

This is image I was trying to attach!

That pic is corrupted or something; I can't open it at all (says invalid header or something like that).
But yeah, I know of Firefox, I haven't (unfortunately) watched the movie yet.
BTW, how about this?  (Featured in PopSci or PopMech or both, I forgot.)

Yes, similar to that yet as square as the Firefox. Can't find a pic anywhere of what I'm talking about.....(Doesn't help that I don't know the name what I'm looking for.... )

[jr2]

Not the B1, is it? (B1-B Lancer, I think).  That's not square, but its big.

EDIT2: go to the site, maybe you can find what you're looking for...

[Wobble73]

I think I've  found it! The XB70 Buzzard!! Ring any bells? Check this link for pics

[Dysko]

Maybe you mean the XB-70 Valkyrie?

[Snail]

You just HAD to show up, didn't you, DySko?

[Dysko]

Yeah, when I read about the "Blackbird stealth bomber" I was already going to post, but then I thought "Maybe it's a WC spaceship, and he was not referring to the spy plane". But then I saw all those post about planes I couldn't resist...

[jr2]

Looks like a cross between:

and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concorde

EDIT: Have a look at the related craft section at the bottom of the XB-70 page in wikipedia.

This is also on my todo list 

[jr2]

Can you do the BlackBird as well?  Please?  (Look at my siggy...)  It'd be cool to have a Firefox too, though.


EDIT: Got these (there are more, + drawings etc) from:
http://area51specialprojects.com/blackbird/blackbirds1.html

[Scooby_Doo]

With some alterations, I could see the blackbird as some sort of interceptor.

[takashi]

perseus/hellcat hybrid, maybe?

[jr2]

FYI, the Blackbird was originally designed as an interceptor... but its too fast.  Now, if you're firing lasers and high-tech missiles, hmm...  maybe not a problem.

[Scooby_Doo]

Formidable.

Torpedo destroyer.  Not as strong as other destroyers, but watch out for the torpedos.  She carries six, yes six torpedo banks.


The Formidable can be found here: http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/Finished_Mods/Form-03-23-07.rar
Completely scratchbuilt.
