No, seriously. Adding turrets is different from adding details.

I don't share your oppinion.

Speaking of which, re-converted the HTL Typhon...should have 5 lods and debris now. I'll convert another version for you purists without the extra turrets later.

HTL Tyhphon - E version

It seems you don't share your opinion with most of the other people on this board, then.

But I can't do anything so do what you want.

Haven't seen any polls, so I wouldn't know...or care.

Can I have a chainsaw?

Only if it connects to your head.

Let him do what he wants. It'll be easy to reject it if it deviates from the original in turrets/placements or looks.

Really. Since table changes are needed to activate any extra turrets in any case, one is unlikely to even notice that extra single parts are present. And given how the Colossus is used in game, as long as the positions of the beam cannons are not altered, there will be little or no effect on game balance even if one added a dozen blob turrets here and there.

TrashMan · **Reply #48 on:** February 24, 2008, 11:33:51 am

No need to get excieted anyway.. it's no big problem removing the extra turrets and re-converting

... assuming I do use extra turrets in the first place.

Whaaat... and it was just a suggestion ...

Worse comes to worst, it's down to two different versions then... either way I'll still get both, both sides have their own valid reasons...

Hades · **Reply #50 on:** February 24, 2008, 11:55:58 am

I don't think this should be used as the HTL Colossus. It doesn't exactly look like the Colossus. Use it as a Colossus MK2.

Did any of TrashMan's models go into the Media VPs at all?

Agreed. Looks a bit weaker than the Colossus. Maybe a test version/early variant/prototype. I need one of those for my campaign.

The Typhon did. The Demon would if it ever got textured. He also did the Athena, but I don't know if that went in the VPs (its not fS2)

TrashMan · **Reply #53 on:** February 24, 2008, 01:46:59 pm

Like I said, I'm afraid to touch the Demon....at least until higher-res textures come by. It uses ONE texture on it's entire massive behind! (yeah, big butt)

Admiral Nelson · **Reply #54 on:** February 24, 2008, 02:06:27 pm

Freespaceking volunteered to do it ages ago, but asked that the Demon be UV mapped. Is the model UVmapped presently?

TrashMan · **Reply #55 on:** February 24, 2008, 03:42:20 pm

A few parts of it only ... I put the entire model up for anyone interested to work on a long time ago. Nuttin' moved.
Guess I'll have to tackle it...it won't get finished on it's own

jdjtcagle · **Reply #56 on:** February 24, 2008, 10:54:04 pm

The concept of a Mrk II is stupid of itself me thinks...

I like the new colossus and will make it a canon in my book, seeing as it's an old game with

more concepts that were never finished, I believe that's the case with TrashMan's Colossus - he's trying to finish were they were limited.

Well in my books, it's not.

But it still looks damn cool... I'll probably use it as a "test version" of the Colossus. Any progress, Trash?

TrashMan · **Reply #58 on:** February 25, 2008, 02:51:09 pm

Yup...but be patient.
I want to add a few more tidbits before I post new pics.

Indeed. While this thing looks cool, it gets a massive "hell no" from this observer in terms of getting into the VPs. I feel like I'm alone in this, but I thought the original Colossus design was great. It's a massive, ugly slab of a ship that screams "don't **** with me, buddy." That concept art seems far too graceful to represent something of that aesthetic.
