tbh I just hate the GTD Hades full stop, its basic shape, weapon's placement, everything.

While I like the design, this thing is realy outdated.

If you look at the forces deployed thread, you may see that most 1st fleet frigates are named after historical figures.

...and things like the Vatican, which is right up Ubuntu's alley and an example of heroism or significance in war (beyond instigating them).

Cruisers have a different naming scheme yo

Isn't it the GTVI now? I can't even remember.

Officially, I think so. Unless the whole GTI got shut down after the Hades, then GTA Intelligence Ops (think GTD Soyakaze from STR) and Vasudan Intelligence banded together to form the GTVI under tight direction of the Imperium and Assembly.

Why would anyone want another Hades? The design is horribly, horribly outdated by now.

I might add another "horribly" to that. Seriously, while the ship is extremely cool, Even a Diomedes used effectively is better than the Hades.

I wish I could say "PCD Saturn would like to have a word with you," but wrong continuity (and I haven't tested that yet). As much as a Hades can damn near slaughter an FS1 Orion, by FS2 I highly doubt it can hold in a fair fight (if there is ever such a thing by BP Alliance standards).

I seem to recall that someone once wrote a simple ship-vs-ship mission, with no special story scripting. They pitted a Hades vs. a Sathanas and the Hades won.

headdie · **Reply #1385 on:** October 29, 2012, 05:58:58 pm

do you remember where was the hades relative to the sath?

That's not exactly an accomplishment. Even a Fenris can do that.

And I'm trying really hard not to start a discussion with the people who find the Hades' design "cool". By Jove, what a ridiculous ship.

Aesaar · **Reply #1387 on:** October 29, 2012, 08:26:16 pm

I agree. The Hades is sinfully ugly. Not even cool ugly like the Deimos. Just plain ugly.

It's a lot like the Boanerges in that way.

Phantom Hoover · **Reply #1388 on:** October 29, 2012, 08:31:27 pm

It's everything ugly about FS1 ships distilled into a single, confused package.

MatthTheGeek · **Reply #1389 on:** October 30, 2012, 07:36:11 am

Sounds this channel is full of haters again ! nuHades is one of the coolest ships in our MVPs. If you can't deal with its awesomeness, you can leave

The E · **Reply #1390 on:** October 30, 2012, 07:43:57 am

Yes, the new Hades model is pretty nice.

No, the Hades design will not be revived in BP. Because redesigning the Hades to fit into the GTVA's fleet building strategy, and fitting it with all the new weapons developed since Silent Threat makes absolutely no sense at all when it would be easier to design ships built from the ground up to support the existing strategic and tactical paradigms the GTVA operates under.

Aesaar · **Reply #1391 on:** October 30, 2012, 08:40:17 am

The model is nice from a technical standpoint. It's the Hades design in general which is ugly. It's Volition's fault.

MatthTheGeek · **Reply #1392 on:** October 30, 2012, 08:52:57 am

No, it's YOUR fault for not liking it ! You have bad tastes !!!! </end sarcasm>

Crybertrance · **Reply #1393 on:** October 30, 2012, 09:15:29 am

When I said that the Hades is a cool ship, I was referring to the nuHades or the HTL Hades not that ugly abomination in the original.

Phantom Hoover · **Reply #1394 on:** October 30, 2012, 09:43:43 am

No amount of detail and greebling can fix the fact that its overall shape is awful.

Luis Dias · **Reply #1395 on:** October 30, 2012, 09:57:26 am

Aesaar and PhantomHoover have non-bad-tastes. I salute you. All the rest, may Shiva have mercy on your souls.

Nah, who needs mercy when we have the almighty Steele?

starbug · **Reply #1397 on:** October 30, 2012, 10:47:45 am

While i liked the Hades design, well the high poly model, It just doesn't fit why spend resources in trying to upgrade an old prototype design that wasn't tested or fully finished, with the latest weapons and what not, which it probably wasn't designed to be fitted with those weapons in the first place would most likely be a engineering nightmare and would take time to do. Prime example would be the Typhon as The Great War-era reactors of the Typhon destroyers lacked sufficient energy to sustain prolonged fire of these new weapons, rendering them prone to blackouts and reactor overloads (taken from Hatshepsut tech entry). Surely it would be cheaper and easier to make brand new ship from the ground up?

I just cant wait to see what new toys the Vasudans have in WIH 2.

Aesaar · **Reply #1398 on:** October 30, 2012, 10:58:26 am

That brand new ship is called the Raynor.

Klaustrophobia · **Reply #1399 on:** October 30, 2012, 02:44:39 pm

i quite like the hades. but i've long since come to realize my tastes are 180^o off of the community consensus. for example i prefer the old diomedes to aesaar's remodel (no offense bro), the textures on the BP stratcomm ships look perfect to me, and i think that despite it's sucktastic performance, the hecate is one of the best looking cap ships. except for the color.
