I hesitate to say this, because I still think it's a great model......but it looks more phallic than ever now. 

hey hey i've got a nice idea for you there

it's called shut the **** up and stop deliberately seeing everything as a phallus

  Hey, that sort of talk is uncalled for.  Notice how I said that I still thought it was a great model?  I was just voicing an observation.

I also have an idea. Stop writing things like this. It won't help anyone. if any of you guys want to help Aesaar with this model, have objections on some parts of the design, just point it and post a proposal for corrections.
   It's not about seeing an anatomy in this ship. You Valiran are not the first one who had such thoughts ;P So did I some time ago (but I don't care anymore). Also, when my friend saw the titan for the first time on the screen, she automatically said "- Hey it's look like a "put a proper word here".." and started to laugh. 

#Edit. grammar

I have utmost faith in Aesaar's modeling ability.  I also think that voicing my opinion won't hurt.

If anything, it has been greatly depenilized.

You really think so?   I'll have to look at the original model when I get home, I always saw it as resembling a giant whale or something.

TBH I will miss original main beams configuration. It was signature feature of the whole ship, and current triangle setup makes the Titan too much like Bellorophon. One ship with three beams in triangular configuration is enough for entire fleet. At the other hand I like secondary heavy cannons and other changes You have made.

[Black Wolf]

Was that necessary?

No, it wasn't, and it earned British Shivans a one-day ban.

VA was doing them a few years ago, but he's been much less active lately. They were pretty cool though, I scored an Aeolus and got a Fenris for my brother:

Well, the original Titan has the beams in a triangel configuartion if you're honest. Not that tightly together like on Aesaars, but still...

Indeed, but in totaly different configuration, and not in one surface. Titan is known for it's unique beam configuration. It will never be the same with any other setup.

[An4ximandros]

Yeah, this is the one time I must admit I dislike what happened to the beam setup, it feels like it looses too much of the ship's character here... Still, it's his model.

Let's just say I've got something big in the works
Expect word soon.
(Considering it my unique contribution to the community, but I was really hoping no one would say anything

Apart from the visuals, doesn't this closeness of the beams make it all the more vulnerable against the UEF's torpedo swarm attacks? If one torpedo hits, the shockwave will strike all three main beams and as a result they'd be taken out a lot faster than on the old Titan model.

[procdrone]

Im interested.... what other ships you're planning to remake?

The TEI ships were not designed to combat UEF ships. Also keep in mind this is not a concern at any point in the released missions.

[-Norbert-]

True, they were build to fight Shivans and the only beams that would hit all three emitters are the ones on the Sathanas and Shiva, which would insta-kill a Titan anyway. And in Delenda Est the beams are protected by "plot armour".

After the Titan and the Hyperion?  I don't know.  I wouldn't mind giving the Diomedes another pass, since it'll be a good three years old by the time I finish these two and a lot annoys me about the model.

Agreed.  Wouldn't the old model be a slightly better fighter militarily?

[QuakeIV]

I dunno, last time I faced it it turned me into chunky gumbo much more quickly than the original.

[General Battuta]

Do shockwaves even damage subsystems in BP?

[An4ximandros]

Diomedes II, Y'all herd it here firs'!

[AdmiralRalwood]

Do shockwaves even damage subsystems in BP?

Code: [Select]

$shockwaves damage small ship subsystems: NO
They don't damage fighter subsystems, but shockwaves can't be made to not damage large ships' subsystems.

[Drogoth]

Keep up the great work Aesaar!
The more angular nose definitely gives the Titan a more menacing look. While I was initially skeptical, the new triangle face does much to that effect as well.

I believe someone printed out an Orion at one point. Maybe a Sathanas as well.

VA hooked me up with the Orion. It's sitting on my desk

[James Razor]

Uhm.. who is VA. And of what prices do we speak. I realy would be interessted in a Orion for myself if i can afford it.

[niffiwan]

VA is Vasudan Admiral, unfortunately I don't believe he's able to make any more models at this point in time.
