It's a matter of preferences, really.

Nope. Greater complexity of hullform results in greater manufacturing difficulty. If you want a ship that's quick and cheap to build, you end up with a less complex hullform.

Such as an oversized metal cuboid that is a GTD Orion?

heh, it could be complex inside.

shiv · **Reply #223 on:** May 11, 2009, 07:18:48 am

My choice?
Deifineately GTD Orion. It's awesome ship, propably the symbol of FreeSpace series. Just look:

Feels like symbol of the series, doesn't it?

On the other hand I also like Leviathans/Fenrises.
FS1 ship design>FS2 design.

UH...did you even play the game after you got it?

It's the bow of a Typhon.

Well, Typhon looked weird in that view

Snail · **Reply #229 on:** May 11, 2009, 02:35:44 pm

Looked better than it does in-game anyway.

I really like how the lighting falls on it.

obviously had a more detailed model that they didn't include with the release.

shiv · **Reply #230 on:** May 11, 2009, 03:35:47 pm

That Orion looks more detailed too...

yeah, it certainly does look wierd on the box. Really couldn't tell that was a Typhon.

IronBeer · **Reply #232 on:** May 14, 2009, 12:40:15 pm

Took me a while to figure out what it was as well...

i think its because it was an angled shot. it ended up not being 3d enough and just looked really sharp whereas the typhon is more smooth and round.

I originally thought that was the Lucifer.

Me too but I had no guts to say it

Androgeos Exeunt · **Reply #236 on:** May 16, 2009, 04:18:13 am

There's actually a separate thread for that.

Aardwolf · **Reply #237 on:** May 17, 2009, 08:04:31 pm

So has anybody noticed that in FreeSpace (at least in the data files) defines "capital ship" is only vessels of Destroyer size or larger, and thus most of the things in this poll are not capital ships at all?

Dilmah G · **Reply #238 on:** May 18, 2009, 04:16:22 am

That was my first thought but since no-one pointed it out on the first page I thought all was good.

eliex · **Reply #239 on:** May 18, 2009, 04:43:06 am

Yeah, same. In some user-made campaigns, cruisers and corvettes were called capital ships so I believed the classification requirements had changed.

Poll

If you were allowed to choose your assignment as captain of a Terran or Vasudan capital ship, what would you choose? Alternatively, which is your favorite?
