The outgrowths are engines... and personally I would like to reserve design control for TLL for the time being... Im not gone, just got X3 the reunion and have been playing that extensively (it is addicting)... Ive also felt as though I was phased out of the decision making process here anywho.. which is one reason I havent payed much attention..

Something like this... not this but something like it... see how I used angles to make it less boxy and I melded the engines in with the main part of the body... also I scaled down the bridge.

Optimus Prime · Post by **Optimus Prime** » 02 Feb 2006, 03:09

how can you work on 3do files? Which program do you use? I m not able to model a 3do file. Only texturing and scaling is possible with 3do builder here

btw nice :)

ah and i have made another ship completely new and i tried to create it more like a normal arm ship.

does it look bad too?

Edit: Engines reduced a bit and sme different textures

Nemo · Post by **Nemo** » 02 Feb 2006, 03:17

Much better. I like both smoth's and yours. For a first effort, this ain't bad at all.

First thing I thought of when I saw this was a drone carrier. Would it be possible to script it like the Triage?

Fanger · Post by **Fanger** » 02 Feb 2006, 04:29

That is much improved optimus.. still needs smaller engines (maybe 75%-60% the size now.) and a slightly larger front...

Flint · Post by **Flint** » 02 Feb 2006, 09:39

Why dont you use both yours and smoths, putting one to core and arm each? Possibly alter yours a bit (colores/shape) for core and throw in smoths for arm.

Just an idea

Ok here is the first ig test...

now i have only one problem left: I want to give it an inaccuracy, but that doesnt works. I removed guidance and tracking ability, but it still hits exactly the point it attacks...
Does anyone know how to fix that?

here is the weapontag:

I don't think Vlaunch weapons can be innacurate, which sucks because they could be in OTA.

No offence OP, but i like Smoth's take on whatever this ship is called a lot better. It looks cool and sleek.

Also dosnt the arm already have a missle ship? The longbow?

smokingwreckage · Post by **smokingwreckage** » 03 Feb 2006, 10:55

Zoombie: The Longbow fires FORWARD. It is direct-fire, making it a front-line ship.... any of your own ships in front of it will get hit by it, or it won't fire, one or the other. The New Arm Ship here is INDIRECT FIRE so it can sit behind the lines and shoot OVER your ships.

I like both the models. If anything Smoth's looks more Core and Optimus' looks more Arm.

Zoombie · Post by **Zoombie** » 04 Feb 2006, 00:53

So KNOW it makes sence...

Optimus Prime · Post by **Optimus Prime** » 04 Feb 2006, 16:01

i like this one for core more (actual Name: Devastator):

just some *thoughts*:
making this unit as big as the piledriver and nearly as strong as it or
giving core a lvl 4 yard where they can build piledriver and this one
(with some more weapons) or making this unit a medium-big unit.

note that at the moment there is nothing clear about which unit will be
implemented and which not. I m just testing my modelerskills and learn
how to implement those units into the game.

ok here is a first ig screen. On this scene it was nearly as strong as 2 piledrivers...

smoth · Post by **smoth** » 05 Feb 2006, 17:58

I want THAT IN MY SPRING NOW....

um.. yeah.. that unit is a keeper man!

Optimus Prime · Post by **Optimus Prime** » 05 Feb 2006, 18:13

ok i nearly finished all the work on that monster :)

you will need to build a BIG shipyard for that BIG ship

it is now fully armed with:

3 x Antifighetr Flak Guns
6 x Mounted Antimatter-Blaster
2 x Small Nuclear Missile Launcher

(of course the missiles reload correctly - that cost me half the day

)

I think thats enough for the beginning of a massacre

here is an actual screenshot:

Now THAT is a planetkiller!

I love it!

Hehe.
l4 plant? Thats fine!
If it delivers, it could cost 1million metal, and it would be fine to me :D

i really wish i had a better pc....lol...i played it a while ago before the current version...great mod!

it needs a way better texture/UVMap; it looks like a giant blob ATM.
