Re: What is the coolest-looking capital ship in Freespace?
Typhoid, Typhoon, Typhon.

Hard to say which has stomped more human asses, but I'll vote for the one that's a ship.

Re: What is the coolest-looking capital ship in Freespace?
Actually, two of those are ships.

Assuming a submarine counts as a 'ship'.

Given the number of people who played Oregon Trail I'd say Typhoid's stomped the most asses. I certainly lost dozens of family members to it myself. Damn typhoid.

Re: What is the coolest-looking capital ship in Freespace?
That's why I use Trashman's Orion, it's random boxiness is at a much lesser severity.

There's no randomness in the boxyness. Everyting is as I have planned.

That said, I'm glad someonebody like it. I tried to keep the feel and look of the original as much as possible.

Re: What is the coolest-looking capital ship in Freespace?
No, the boxes on the original Orion were brilliantly placed.  The boxes on the HTL Orion were randomly placed; the modeller even said as much.

Wich makes me think that there are cases where brilliance and randomness can be very close together  :lol:

Re: What is the coolest-looking capital ship in Freespace?
I voted orion, nothing brings back old memories like it. If there is one ship that represented freespace, its gotta be the orion...
But the collosus was pretty kool... cool but not very good looking asthetically. It would probably look great but we sendom see ALL of it. Also, it seems half of it is empty space. Like, shrink the ship, make it harder to hit, rather than a long pole of fibrous meshwork of cobwebs all the way down (look closely at that long structure).

Re: What is the coolest-looking capital ship in Freespace?
I can't decide, so I'm not voting. It's a toss-up between the Aeolus, Hecate, Iceni, Orion, Demon, Ravana, Sathanas, Hades, Hatshepsut and Sobek in general (for me).

Oh you still believe in fairy tales like Santa, the Easter Bunny, and free market competition principles?

 
Re: What is the coolest-looking capital ship in Freespace?
The Orion is very imposing and epic, but not particularly cool-looking. That award I give to the Hatshepsut.

Gotta be the Hecate, sure it has the dumbest shape but it is still pretty damn cool. I mean who can resist all those wings and strange projections?

Mostly, yes. Also, the horns... well, IIRC you removed those, which was good.

Re: What is the coolest-looking capital ship in Freespace?
I don't feel like mapping it.
I've put the model up for grabs a long time ago if anyone wants to have a go at it, and the head is mapped.

Re: What is the coolest-looking capital ship in Freespace?
Linikage plox... :nod:


Also, I used to like the Aten and Sobek quite a bit, Aten looked like a cool nipply sleek and fast shaped thingy in FS1 days...  And the Sobek was just RAWR! The Tripple A beams on itin the distance during the first Meson Bomb mission will stay with me for ages.



But yeah Orion is awesomeness.....
