I need a non-ugly superdestroyer/light-juggernaut ship.

Tried the Megaera, Olemus and Moscow. All ugly, except that the Moscow is badly UV mapped.

I don't really want to use the Odin, Orion MK2s or the Titan juggernaut, and the Raynor is used as a regular destroyer.

         Hades? For which there are re-skins in several mods (158, Procryon)

The GTD Sirona is a good ship for a superdestroyer, IIRC it's almost 3 clicks long, and by default has 7 beams, including TerSlash, BGreen, and I think it had custom made MGreens too.
It's somewhere on FreeSpaceMods.

I agree with the Sirona - it looks great when paired with the Reyena corvette and it has a good weapon layout.

[ShadowGorrath]

The ship has to be for a Sol faction. And the Sirona is used elsewhere.

Well we could say that a second Hades was made my the Sol faction using some top-secret GTI blueprints housed in a secret bunker orbiting Neptune or something. Sol was really the center of R&D (there are many statements in FS1 that say this) so it's only logical that some people in Sol would have schematics for the Hades.

[ShadowGorrath]

No, that sounds kinda weird and highly unlikely. The Hades is a post-great war GTI design. It was already unknown to the GTA, and constructed only after the great war, so that's why it is more than unlikely that Sol would have a Hades-like design.

I was thinking of using the Hera at first, but found it too difficult to properly remap, and that it looked too un-FS like...

[Snail]

Uhh actually it was constructed during 2335, only 9 months at the most after the Great War. (Sol node collapsed in March 2335)

[Hellstryker]

Still sounds wierd.

I think you need a new model, right?

Would you be willing to make one (of course, then it'd be a ShadowGorrath exclusive... Be kind to us ShadowGorrath... )

[Aardwolf]

How about taking some fighter and scaling it up a bunch and giving it turrets?

[Galemp]

Yeah, like the Osiris! And then you can give it a single texture with a box UV map.

[ShadowGorrath]

Yea, it seems I need a new model.

      What about the GTD Gaia from OTT: http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/images/Gtdgaia.jpg

      3km long with a crapload of turrets.

      Here's another picture on a whitebackground if the shape isn't clear:

You know that works pretty well as a Vasudan destroyer when reskinned, but the model isn't that great to start with anyway.

[peterv]

Three questions in bad english:

1. Are you in a hurry?
2. Is it supposed to be older than Orion?
3. Do you need new textures, other than those allready in MVP?

[ShadowGorrath]

No rush,
Post-capella Sol,
using maps like in bp.

[peterv]

I'm in.
How public do you want it to be from now on?

[Snail]

Very.
