Oh, so that's the Colossus concept, eh? Wouldn't mind seeing that finished. ;)

I'll think about it...the plan was to make it true to the CB ani (45 laser turrets).

But I don't think I will be abel to keep the original turret placement - the concept Collie and the one in the game aren't the same

Re: I gots a surprise for ya all
I wouldn't use it as the main Colossus HTL anyway, maybe as a prototype or Mark II. The Concept Art is very different from the final model, and IMO it should be the final model which is expanded on. Probably a special super secret test variant, or an early stage of the Colossus (before it got gutted and reconfigured... Maybe they found out the old configuration wasn't suitable for beam cannons, so they changed the entire configuration of the ship to the one we see in FS2).

I'd like to see a super high poly HTL Colossus which is more like the actual one we see.

Hey Trashman I appreciate what you've done and it looks great :)

I'm one for leaving the "in-game" version but this just may be an exception, if it's canon to the universe. :)

Re: I gots a surprise for ya all
hehe..it's a [V] design.

I'm doing it since the normal Colossus is just too ugly... making that look good, without some drastic changes to it's concept is nigh impossible. Therefore, I chose a better looking [V] design.

Drastic changes... Heh... For you that's got to be pretty damn drastic.

I think because of the size of the Colossus, from far away it would naturally look stupid. But it's close up when you can see all the 50 meter wide beam cannons and missile launchers pointing at you that makes it frightening.

It would be great if it got the same treatment you/Bobbaou did to the Orion: Plating here and there, with immaculate detail everywhere and super high poly turrets...

Well, the Colli is know as "The Great Squirtgun" or "SuperSoaker 9000" deluxe :lol: :lol:

Geez, now I'm wondering if I should have started this at all...with that HTL Demon still sitting there, untextured :rolleyes:

Re: I gots a surprise for ya all
Texture it, damn you! :P

I'd love to see how that Colossus would look ingame, but don't forget that you have to worry about not breaking the main FS2 missions. ;)

Re: I gots a surprise for ya all
Ah, you mean the rotation axis?

I did some testing with a temporary Colli model (stock, re-converted) with fixed axis.
Missions with work fine..the only one that was a bit of a laugh was the one with Kolth...poor sucker never got close enough to ram :lol:

As for the Demon - while the mesh is complete for a while now I'm simply afraid to touch it..Demons textures are TERRIBLE. Low-res, stretched terribly over he whole ship. They wont even fit nicely with all the extra detail. I was hoping someone else would texture it, but no one wants to give it a go.

What's wrong with the HTL Orion? Post Galemp remap, of course.

He despises the Orion because it is El Blocko. :P

But I don't think I will be abel to keep the original turret placement - the concept Collie and the one in the game aren't the same

In which case this belongs in modding rather than here.

Re: I gots a surprise for ya all
I think that would look nice in the game. The design would really separate collie from the rest of the GTVA stuff, emphasizing the point that it was the "one and only of its kind".

I'm yet to see how it will turn out. If I can't place a turret on the same position as on the original collie, I plan to put it as close as possible.
