Re: I gots a surprise for ya all
That's not the FS2 Colossus...feel free to add as many turrets as you can (:D)
Then why the hell is it in here, and not in modding?

Uh-huh...

It's too different from the Colossus we all know, then...but it would be fine as separate model.

Many of the ships that appear in the credits don't appear in the game, I wouldn't use it as canon reference for original and better ship designs.

Re: I gots a surprise for ya all
I was agreeing with you and asking since it is not a HTL Colossus or canon ship, why is it here and not modding?

Because of TrashMan's tendences, we all know what he did with the Typhon(no offense, eh!) ;)

Re: I gots a surprise for ya all
You're just jealous of the power and grace the ships I do are packing! :D

Speaking of which, I did make a HTL Typhon with a normal turret count for you crybabies. Oh, what, I haven't uploaded it, have I? :blah:

Re: I gots a surprise for ya all
I have nothing against your ships, I'm only saying that you should keep MODs separate from the Media VPs.

Me neither I have nothing against Trashmans Orion, and Vasudan counter part, but they shouldn't be in this forum they should be in modding.
So when are you going to finish the Concept Colossus? ;7

Re: I gots a surprise for ya all
Well, I'm done with the paper so I finally got far more free time on my hands (for a while at last..now for my drivers test and off I go job hunting)

I'm currently trying to wrap up 2 ships for SOTS, it won't take long.

Collie is going along slowly since I'm re-designing the central body to be more blocky and wider (you cna never satisfy people. First my ships are too blocky, now they are too smooth :rolleyes: )

The problem I have with the HTL Typhon is 1) its increase in turrets and 2) it's not detailed enough. For a modeller like TrashMan I expected something more detailed...

So when are you going to finish the Concept Colossus? ;7

It would be cool if it had some nice textures that make it look 'big.' (by this I mean small windows surrounded by armor, like the Lindos). The original Colossus didn't look big because it's windows were kilometers in length (this is a hyperbole). This Colossus could have some heavily tiled textures surrounded by armor...

Collie is going along slowly since I'm re-designing the central body to be more blocky and wider (you cna never satisfy people. First my ships are too blocky, now they are too smooth :rolleyes: )

Meh... I like the way the central section is smaller than on the original Colossus. :(

So sue me. I was trying to stay as true to the original as possible. It's far more smoother than the original, it has more details, but I found trying to add more stuff to it just breaks up it's nice design. I can't simply put stuff on it and add greebling - I tried, looked terrible.

Speaking of which, I'll upload the "normal turret count Typhon" in a few minutes.

Re: I gots a surprise for ya all
HAHAHAHAHA i keep thinking it will suddenly transform into Megatron  :lol:

Great work there, i would like to see it ingame, i don't know about it being a substitute for the actual colossus, because i never liked the ship since it had such a little time on screen for my taste so i never grew any special care for it, haha.

Signed, me

And afterwards, will you even think of making the concept Lucifer ?

Re: I gots a surprise for ya all
I thought there was already one of those floating around (might be just the de facto HTL Lucifer...but it has the spikes and the side cannons).

Re: I gots a surprise for ya all
There was the "Lucifer X," apparently used in SA or some other random mod.
