Sup. Just finished this model, I think.

Basically, it's around 1200-1300 meters long, it's sort of a frigate/logistics ship hybrid., which has large cargo for carry supplies, a hangarbay with shuttles to move those supplies through a fleet, the hangarbay can also service fighters as well. It's not pure logistics, though. It also can provide invaluable fire support to friendly ships. The final turret loadout will be different, but it will have missiles.


As for the acronym, I was wondering if GTLF (galactic terran logistics frigate) would work better? anyway, Esarai will be texturing it for me (<3 him) and I'll make sure it gets a public release. Current triangle count, excluding the turrets is around 20k. What do you guys think?

WOW that is one awesome looking logistics ship! looks pretty well armed and i like the 4 foreward turrets.

[X3N0-Life-Form]

I like that thing.

Beast.

Who gets the credits for the model

[headdie]

Looks good, I could see it operating in BP as a UEF logistics ships

[MatthTheGeek]

Looks awesome. I'm wondering, what are those 4 forward weapons ? They don't look like either beam or missile turrets. Some kind of big pulse of some sort ?

[Snail]

Railguns of somesort maybe.

[Mobius]

Awesome! Reminds me the Navy Frigate from CW2, which brings back good memories. Good work, Hades.

[MetalDestroyer]

The ships design is very awesome. I'll add it with the current fleet I have. 

[Angelus]

Good work there Hades!
It's a pretty cool design and it fits very well in the FS universe.
And i think, you should go for GTLF.

The 4 forward turrets remind of the Kol in Sins of a Solar Empire

Guess the front weapons' range should be 8+ clicks, because you don't wanna get your parts blasted to smithereens by beam fire...

Is the shuttle-bay big enough to accomodate a cruiser?

[Destiny]

I simply love the sheer amount of turrets on it. Would make an awesome half-destroyer. I really, really like the design of the entire ship.






...because the turrets are so awesome.

[BrotherBryon]

Nice, the front end kind of reminds me of a pump action shotgun.

[Nyctaeus]

Would be pretty cool even as a destroyer. Good work .

[General Battuta]

GTL. GTLF is a terrible name, you don't see ships named Galactic Terran Combat Destroyer or Galactic Terran Strike Bomber or whatever. Also it sounds like MILF.

[starwolf1991]

One beautifully-designed model, Hades! Reminds me of something from X3: Reunion or Terran Conflict. Well done.

And I agree with the designation of Logistics Frigate. Looks like a bit of both. Make sure it doesn't have too much firepower or it'll rival even the best of destroyers!

Some taking use to, but a nice ship! Curious how you'll decide to texture it, I think the skin will really have a large impact in what feel it'll give.

Very nice Hades, both the model and the idea 

[IronBeer]

Gorgeous model. Can't wait to see it finished!
