Kick the Giga's ass? you realise the SBFRed on the Giga engulfs a Colossus.... and with my special outfit "Planet Destroyer" beam... the Gigas can.... well thats a little much information.

[Setekh]

Shields would look so cool on that...

[Star Dragon]

Ok.... Shield it all you want, but remember those hotshot fighter aces out there are experts in "taking the big game down"

    In fact the Robotech Research & Development team (Headed by Dr. Lang) has discussed a "Subspace Breaching bomb" In theory this bomb (upon impact) would open a rift to subspace that would drag the capship into it. Once there the ship would be effectively trapped unless it had jump technology that doesn't rely upon nodes. Also once in subspace shields (as far as they know) are unuseable... Send in the veritechs!!!

    Seriously that is an AWESOME model no matter what you call it (just don't call it late for dinner!)

    I would LOVe to use it in a SW storyline... Federation & Empire..

Capt Sulu "Raise shields!"

SSD Commander "Initiate Tractor Beam!"

   Once again that lousy Wormhole is more trouble than it's worth and a strange ship has appear near DS9... Tell the prophets to start a toll, traffic is picking up

*Sarcastic* Really?

You think that this devastator will be equiped with BFGreens and LRBGREENs?

Silly one! Of course it won't. I designed brand new beams for this thing and it will really kick Gigases butt. This thing is a killer of the Shivans. It will be able to kill any Shivan destroyer or super-destroyer, Juggernaut and migh be even able to kill the Garghant. You will understand why.

And Setekh, I agree that the shield would look cool on this baby but how do you expect me to explain how did GTVA mannage to shield this Devastator.


And one more thing. Don't get confused. This is NOT a destroyer or a Super J, this is  Galactic Terran Devastator (GTDv)

Now, since my official school holiday begun today I am gonna concentrate all of my attention to making this ship usefull in Freespace 2. When I am done, I will post some screenies. 10 whole days. YEEHAAAA!

I think we can guess form the name...........

Oh, and it's a nice model, but please give it a better class name.  Devastator isn't exactly great, IMHO.

How about GTSD Excelsior?

[CP5670]

SD sounds much better to me.

I try to refrain from using too many new classes of ships in my mods; more than one addition just makes it sound kind of silly IMHO.

[Killfrenzy]

Actually, the Excelsior will be armed with the next-gen Lances. Shields are a pain, but they can be done I think.

And the Gigas wouldn't stand a chance against a broadside anyway!

[Woomeister]

Don't try to shield it, I tried with the Gigas and the entire model became unstable, plus to make a shield with small enough sections it would have to be thousands of polys. This ship is unbalanced for its size (if it's similar to the Gigas)
The Gigas can be destroyed, it has one major weakness that I put in on purpose. The Apoc has weaknesses and the Sechat would of have

Ok thanks for the tip Woomeister. i didn't plan to add shields to it anyway, I was just joking and yes it could take on the Gigas and on who knows how many SJ. It can challange the Garghant but if you go too over board with hitpoints and weapons...

Anyway, we are working hard on this one, but I still need to turet this thing and it's a pain.

[HotSnoJ]

One way to do it faster is to not really care if every thing is exact.

[Razor]

Are you talking about turreting?

[HotSnoJ]

Duh, thats what you were talking about.

Well OK but I am making the main guns. No wait, I made them allready!

[Razor]

I was also thinking of putting a very detailed star destroyer but maybe it would be just too much to have two Star Wars ships in the campaign. Do you think that this ship will fit well into the Freespace universe?

Unless its a Starwars Campaign? No, it will not fit well.

[Razor]

That's your opinion but I believe it will fit well. It would be a new design for Freespace ships, a radical departure from the old design.

OK if you have a good idea, tell me how to make a tractor beam.

[Sheepy]

ppl find it hard to adjust to radical changes and jst dont accept them
