On a related matter, I am seeking submissions or ideas for replacement GMS shipline: transport, SHF miner, VHF miner and HF miner. For various reasons, I am not happy with the current GMS shipline. These should fit the Gallia theme and look like civilian industrial ships. I am looking for concepts first - don't jump and model the whole thing as it would be terrible to waste effort.
Please post your ideas - if anybody has them - on the forum in a new thread
' Wrote:Modelling lead here to clarify what's needed.
The GMS line consists of: LF, VHF, SHF, Mining Ship. The fighters will need replacing, since they were EVE imports and we do not want any imports in this mod anymore. Not sure if the mining ship is also an import... Renzu line also still needs ships.
Luis: The transport model you have can be rescaled to a freighter-sized ship, and form the Renzu freighter replacement.
Availability to other factions is the admin's realm, and beyond the scope of this thread.
' Wrote:Hi, what I'm looking for is the replacement of the entire line as they are imports and this is not an ideal situation. These ships were designed with the GMS in mind but are probably not going to be restricted to the GMS.
This does not include the gallic mining ship, this has already been done.
There are three ships, an LF, SHF and VHF. These are mining ships and will have relatively weak PVP performance. They need an industrial civilian gallic look - whatever that is.
Luis already expressed interest in re doing the GMS ship line, others are also encouraged to give it a go. I'm not sure right now, but I am trying to throw together a sum of credits to the ones we like most.
What is needed:
SHF miner
VHF miner
LF miner
Requirements:
Fit Gallia theme
Look civilian and industrial
Not a requirement as deemed by Cannon, but we at the [GMS] would like the miners to be asymmetrical. Here is an image of a ship we kinda like.
What I was thinking was having the mining lasers on the tips of the arms. Have the cockpit mounted to the frame on the back side against main body (opposite side but same place as that intake port on the near side). Have the tractor beam mounted in that circle area in the middle of the ship. Have some cargo containers mounted under the main body. Modify the back to house the engine thing. This would be the LF.
For the SHF and VHF I'd like this to also be the base but modified to suit those classes.

I'll see what I can come up with when I've got my hands on my laptop. Though I can't exactly say I can do the skins, nor the hard points. But I'll contact some people which can help me with that.
The transport ship draft that you posted is a pure win- it is what I understand under big heavy transport.
I hope that you will make some good ships that could be added to the mod.

Gallic lawful ships, even for mining factions, should look clean and polished with their textures. It fits the mindset of the lawfuls, in feeling pure and superior to others.
