I have recieved information that told me that some people think that my last post called Pegasus stupid. This wasn't intentianal, and I apologize. I thought it rather snappy (late at night) that you came in and started saying that I didn't nake anything, I just modified tables. that is what I did, but I was in a bad mood, and it was late ar night. I realized the next day, that my previous post was a little on the bragging side.

Sorry, I took some very good constructive criticism the wrong way. This is one of my faults, but I'll try to stop this in the future.

Sorry pegasus!!!:sigh:

Thankyou for your apology. I wasn't saying it as a bad thing. In the past I hated downloading 'new' ships (as they were called) but they were only table modifications. Just call them modified stat ships or something. But you can call the weapons new though. Well... old, but new. I've gone cross-eyed...

I like the sound of this campaign though. It's about time someone made a campaign of this timeline seeing as that's why Volition kept the details so breif.

[Solatar]

I share your pain. I always hate downloading just table modifications. And I never download reskins anymore.

And I understand your post (the one i got mad at). it brings up valid points. I didn't 'make" a new ship. I just "made" a new table entrie, and edited the .pof.

What did you edit? Subsystems?

[Solatar]

yeah, I took away one of the primarys sets on the Valkyrie, and added a bank to the Apollo for the Draco. I think I need a new .pof for the Draco, and it will be called the GTB Apolloyon, that was the name in the concept art. Anyone willing to do a model, PM me. I'll give you a screenshot from the fs1 cutscene if you need it, it will show the ships in detail. if this is somehow illegal due to copyright or something tell me so.

I also added reactor and cockpit subsystems. the plan was for when the reactor was destroyed, a sexp would detroy the ship, When the cokpit was destroyed, the same thing happened (if the pilot was dead, the ship would blow up). This didn't work

That concept art naming was just made up by me using the various greek/egyption/hindu god names. A lot of the ships on the concept page weren't named by , so that's why I decided to name them. But I would love for you to name them this way.
Several people have named their models using the names I supplied such as Woomeister (GTB Notus) and Venom (Ennead - I think I named that).

Nope, I did, but I made the model before you did the database, when I do a model from a concept pic now, I use your names.

[Solatar]

Do you think we could do a reskin? None of that crappy stuff, I mean add missile bays where the primary banks are, and mess around with it  little. It would still lok the same.

[Nico]

well, I've made that angel:

it's just a modified valkyrie, but after all, the valkyrie is just a modified angel right? (ok, that's a bit flawed, but you get what i mean I hope ).
I think someone has the pof, woomeister or styxx maybe. If someone has it, he can post it here for d/l, I have no pb with that ( it only has thruster flames btw, no lods and no debris, and i've done no pof data, it probably just has gun and missile points )

[Solatar]

If anybody has that .pof, I'll have it (Please!!!). if its skinned, that's even better, but if its not. I'm desperate enough to try and skin it. Even though I don't know exactly how.

it's just how it looks like on that pic.
Otherwise, wait two more weeks, then I'm back home and I'll see if I still have it on my HD.

That nose... just... doesn't look right. P'raps you could angle it down some, or replace the entire cockpit with something more Hercules or Loki inspired?

I like the rest of the skin, though. The recoloration is nice.

[Thor]

I kind of like the nose.  There is nothing exactly like it in either game.  keep it

[Galemp]

I know what it is: it's too long. Shrink the neck and it should look fine. I still say you should bend the nose down a notch.

[Nico]

nope, it'll stay as it is, coz it's done, you don't think I'm wanna make it again?

I think it looks perfect. This is how I would imagine a scout fighter. Great job Venom!

[Solatar]

I think the black part should be taken off, but it does look more, older like. I like it. I want it. (How many times have i asked this. I'm still being patient).

[Red5]

I had an idea a while back that the first fighters used by the GTA should be called the "Alpha class"

This new class of short range highly manueverable ship could deliver ordinance or fire direct lasers on a target...
   They became so popular that every outpost carried wings of these "alphas"  Command might say launch a wing of Alphas to destroy them or send in Alpha wing...  More specialized versions became available later like the bombers nicknamed Beta's and so forth...maybe you could use this idea??

[Pegasus V]

Perhaps the earliest fighters of the Great War were similar to the ones of today.

eg: No plasma pulse type primary weapons. A forward firing chaingun primary and a couple of missiles tucked under the wing.
Plus, perhaps they need fuel (ala Homeworld), so if a fighter is in an area for an extended period of time, it would need to refuel. That might be where the first support ships originated from.

[Solatar]

yes, that Alpha fighter idea is a good one. Unfortunetely, I'm doing the Great War, not the pre Great War. I might do the outbreak of the war, that way we get to use older fighters, but we still get some action against the Vasudans.
