Cheers Peter, mod looks good  :)
Can't see the images in the screenshots but think that's cause im looking on a phone. Will try on a PC soon.

 
Alright thanks, sig updated to nukelol.

Now time to update those forums...
'Teeth of the Tiger' - campaign in the making
Story, Ships, Weapons, Project Leader.

 
Happy Holidays, everyone.  :)

Here's a turreted, windowless T-MBB Caerphilly:





I'll probably have the last few models at least started by the end of the year, with a big texturing and converting operation soon to follow- complete with much more screenshots as I'll be testing the ships as they arrive in the FS universe.

Then I'll either need to hire some FREDders or go through the Academy myself, TotT is slowly going from building the fleet to putting it to good use.

Minor update, battleship with a few more details, smaller ships now close to camera for better sense of scale.

So the carrier hulls are fully modeled.

Windows are practically invisible due to their relatively small size on the ships- the carriers are 3812 (T-MCa Carcassonne; big guy with 4 hangars) and 2938 (T-MCa Pierrefonds; Homeworld Kushan Carrier style with wider and flatter front) meters long.

I got this Honor Harrington vibe, not sure why.

 
And I had to look up the name...

Anyways, still machining the next hull- the Arsenal ship. I'll post a shot or two when it's done.

Later I'll have tons of UV mapping and converting to do, so it might be quiet here for several weeks, especially since I'm quite busy.

Hey, just wanted to say great work, and keep it up! It's been awesome to see your continual progress, even if it's spanned a long time. I admire your perseverance!
[16:57] <CommanderDJ> What prompted the decision to split WiH into acts?
[16:58] <battuta> it was long, we wanted to release something
[16:58] <battuta> it felt good to have a target to hit
[17:00] <RangerKarl> not sure if talking about strike mission, or jerking off
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> WUT
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> hahahahaha
[17:00] <battuta> hahahaha
[17:00] <RangerKarl> same thing really, if you think about it

Let's see if I could post a little something this weekend...
'Teeth of the Tiger' - campaign in the making

Well, I guess I could...

A few secondary turrets still have their rotations borked, and the local Subspace Missiles need a bit of bug fixing as well, but other than that the Frigates are now finished.

Anyways, today is the first time Tiigran Arty is fired by Tiigran capships, and not a Hecate placeholder:












The battleships will have 18 such guns, so I'll have to stage them firing full broadsides when their shared hull gets UV-mapped and they begin existing in FS SCP. What has been published today is just a frigate...

Well, it is motivating when after a very long time of pushing WIP's there finally is something noticeable.

It's also demotivating that for some reason my account on nukelol forums (former freespace mods forums) is inactive or deleted...

Update for April (or at least the first half), Arsenal ship T-MAs Malbork slowly taking shape:

Well, with hundreds of MB of modding (OK, mostly textures, but there's LOTS of assets), why the hell give up now? :P

This might not be an Inferno, but I sure hope it'll be quite a journey into the known, less known and even surprising (the T-M are not the big surprises here- although they're the major new element and main story element, which is why I'm posting a lot of T-M related stuff :P). I will ask the people who were responsible for FREDding to report in by the end of summer, as I'd need quite some time to learn that. :P

I will have to send Swantz a PM one of these days, my account on nukelol is deleted or inactive and I have no way to access that place anymore...

These ships are nice. Can't wait to see the end result.
What are you planning to do for transports, escape pods, more fighters?
Or are you just focusing on the caps for now?
I came, I saw, I ate some salad.

The effects around the gun barrels are bombastic,as i can see.  :nod:  Did you look at Shadow Genesis or ASW Take 2,Tiger?
The yellow lines on the ships may be are special signs of the Tigris Merists,am i right? :cool:
Peter
If i can´t model any ship then i use "flying trains" :-)
