Well somewheres I've got my frankenship that larger than the Gragant LOL

Well I've found the Gargant to be quite impressive, though I would like to see it with a ship like Sathanas in the background.  Any chance you could dig up a pick of your "frankenship"??

Isn't the Gargant just a stretched Rakshasa or something?

EDIT: this seems to be the old one



It's a stretched Sath with some extra spikes, but unfortunately it ends up looking pretty bad.

This render, however, is sweet:

No, that's the new Gigas.

The pictured ship is the current Gargant as far as I know.

Found it.... there's a bit of star wars, star trek, homeworld 1, freespace 2, inferno, wing commander, B5 in it.  And I want to add some detailing from the USG Ishimura.

It looks like you took the Kushan Mothership, slapped a Nebulon B on the bottom, gave it some Centauri wings, attached a Terran Confederation vessel to the front, and then slapped the front end of an Earth Alliance Omega on that.

There's also the Higara mothership too.., wing tips are kushan? battlecruiser.  Also under the wing bases there's a pair of Orions.   Honestly I never really intend to finish this.  Last time I got it imported into fs2 it had z-clipping issues due to it's size.

Here's a couple more updated pics:


I think the Ishimura would fit nicely between the forward hanger section and central bridge area.

The Gigas that came from Inferno R1 is precisely 20.6 km in length. From what I've heard, the Gargant is about 40 klicks in length.

Unless some changes have been made....

Anyways, even the Gigas is too big to be practical for almost any mission, and the Gigas is a mere blip compared to your monstrosity, Scoob.

TBH, that monstronity could be a quite decent ship after rescaling and proper texturing.
Only "envirnoment" (planets, large space stations and asteroids) should reach that size.

A good point in favor of this huge... thing, is that it's just not compact, which means that there is a lot of space to move around, and potentially less collision issues for the AI.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

Oh good it's in R1, I was afraid I'd have to ask for someone to upload the Gigas again...

I love it compared to that "re-interpretation" on fsmods.

:) 

I hate how I lost my screenie of it destroying the Ent-D with a beam as wide as Fed ship on the first shot!

Heh...

If your're talking about Shiva, it's not a reinterpretation of Gigas, but of Gargant.
Description states otherwise, but it was a mistake and FSMods don't allow correcting descriptions (as far as I know).
I uploaded it when I still had the habit of posting things and then editing typos out.
