cools ships everywhere! - yurineova - 07-27-2007
' Wrote:Dude, all that's missing is the giant turbine gun thing in the front ^.^
Cruiser forward gun anyone?
The front is actually a Large gun called the Wave Motion gun. It has had records to destroy small planets. (Not added in this model, Of course:)) Anywho
Yes, it is a little too outlandish for FL:(, but still a awesome ship (It shouldnt be added anyways, as the turrets are custom... Imaging seein a ship flying with a WWII battleship turret... Get my point?)
Just throwin out ideas:rolleyes:

' Wrote:Well, this is one of my favs, but it needs a slight re-texture, in my opinion (Which I am working on:D The thing uses 50 different pics for texturing!)Excellent Idea! A WWII type BS in Freelancer! I have allways favored a type of design like that in this game!!!

(The pic on the site is kinda worng, and you'll see this ingame, if you were to activate it. The body appears all white in the pic, when its grey and red. Why the pic is inaccurate, I dunno, but activate it sometime [And please dont activate it with discovery, that will make loads of trouble ; ) and you'll see)
As you can see, this ship is an overhaul. If you download it, and open the model of the ship with Hard CMP, you will find that it uses custom turrets. (This is so the turrets actually rotate, and arent fixed to the ship.) IF it were to be added, it would be a major pain to make it balanced, as I mentioned, it uses custom turrets. (Maybe use up that last turret class that is un-used for these, if ya guys like it?) Its a master-piece in these terms, but the bad texturing makes it horrible (And that is why I am fixing it:)) Custom sounds as well, its a great ship and considered to be a battleship (Although the size proportions *may* be off, have to confirm this, and cannot at the moment)
Just a great ship in my opinion. (Credit for the model and everything in mod goes to their respective owners/modelers.) Heres the schematics:
For the first link, a Star Craft Battlecruiser would be neat, but dont think any models exist:(
Second link, Thes are from Star Blazers! YAY, Someone else likes it :D The Yamato (Actually, its called the Argo in the american version...), is the ship I posted up *Points up* and that too is from Star Blazers.

*Edit* The only thing is that additional turrents are needed under the ship as well ...

I know it would be awesome, but what of the RP?
"We... uh... got some bits of scrap metal and put them into the sun... and this popped out."
Love to see the Iowa-class ships in this, can you imagine those guns? But... I'm thinking no.

That battleship is Fantastic! I love it! too bad it won't work good in Discovery....
I might download that mod just for kicks to test it out!

' Wrote:I know it would be awesome, but what of the RP?The story line of the Star Blazers is that they leave earth when theres a cry for help. So, there could be a cry for help in the Sirus sector, or, they stumbled upon the Sirius sector by mistake. Also, I *May* be creating the Star Blazers as a faction later. They'll be functioning as a Freelance Police. This would be our flagship:)But I'm not gonna ask to add a ship just so I can have a special flagship.
"We... uh... got some bits of scrap metal and put them into the sun... and this popped out."
Love to see the Iowa-class ships in this, can you imagine those guns? But... I'm thinking no.
As far as turrets on the bottom, There isnt supposed to be. Instead, theres a special torp launcher on the bottom, and, it had missles on the bottom. (Or that can reach the bottom anyways.) Also, the original Bank on the ship was so far, so all you had to do was turn and you could fire on anyhting under ya.
But back at Bestflyerhere, I could generate an full RP story if it is ever decided to be inserted. (I have to fix the Infocards as well, they too are inaccurate... Model is good and nice, But textures on the ship and the infocards arent all that good...)
I'm gonna take that pic I posted earlier and edit it to show where all the weps would be.
EDIT: Oh, did I mention that the Argo (The ship were talkin about) was destoryed in the final season of Star Blazers? So its remains also couldve floated off to the Sirius sector and Daumann Engineering Could've patched it back together, OR They couldve made more of its style. See? Many ideas possable if ya know the storyline of Star Blazers XD I'm such a Sci-Fi junkie:wacko:

EDIT 2: Didnt think alot of people would like it, but Quintus is right, wouldnt work too well in Discovery...

I dunno why, but I've always been facinated with WWII Battleships:rolleyes: Also, when I saw this model on Lancers, I had to investigate this Star Blazers further, and I loved it! I just cant find the DVDs in any stores, and I cant find any torrents of them either... (Erm, If me mentioning Torrents on this site is bad, Please PM me IMMEADTLY so that it can be removed. I dont want to get Discovery in trouble...)

cools ships everywhere! - Panzer - 07-27-2007

I will vote for a viper MK II actually. But it had better be a light fighter.
The Pegasus class battlestar is far too large for the mod. It might be able to replace the battlestar II but that won't do us any good.
