Coalition Ships

[Jinx]

@AoM: no, i don t think it needs to be darker. now it looks like something an army would come up with - and with the soviet background ( their military colours appear brighter than even the US colours - like the blue white sheme of some planes etc ) - it looks new, but still battleworn, which i like - or ready for battle and not like some liberty fighters, ready for a beauty contest.



yes, and the engine trails, once they re red will add to the "dangerous" look of it. - when its about details like the cockpit, it no big deal anyway - i mean, no one but the pilot will ever take a really close look to it.



about the hitbox - does it work? - the hammerhead has that huge upper fin, too. so by the looks, that VHF appears to be "not one of the most agile" ones - and it looks at least as well armoured as the titan - you allready have ideas about where to put it - statwise? - with 6 guns, it surely is the average VHF - allthough, .... from a feeling, i would even imagine it to have 2 more low level guns, additionally - ( or rather gun/missile hardpoints ) - maybe 4x10, 2x9, 2x 6 ( so you can mount lower level missiles )

edit: sitting at work - got nothing to do, thats why i can think of stuff like that right now:D



armorwise, i d see it at around 12k to 14k - allthough the looks may fool me, it looks more massive on the first glance than on the second.

@ Templar: Coalition capships already do exist within the Crossfire Mod, including Phukov.

@ Jinx: I just helped Xing to finish it, when he stucked with trying to get the skin working. It is his model and he has to decide about the equipment. Me just went a bit further to create a cmp and mat file. The only other functional hitbox i can imagine is from Crusader/Templar. Will look for it. And yes i had made the skin brighter in dependence to current Russian Fighter skins.

The actual idea is to make the soviet a 4 lvl 10 gun, 2 lvl 9 gun, sabre maneovrability but with more powercell for the guns.
Though, Jinx's idea isn't that bad either.

And also am I working on a Coalition destroyer.
I think you guys will like it - it has the shape of a cold-war era's soviet submarine

It's looking awesome, but hitboxes might be a major issue.

I'm thinking bounty hunter ship hitboxes might be best, since they too are vertically based, or maybe a resized Bretonian light fighter hitbox?

Awesome work, AoM and Xing. Can't wait to fly these babies!:DAnd, I'm very much liking the sound of the Coalition Dessie...maybe the commies ought to commission a system of our own soon, eh? Then the Zoners couldn't complain about us using Cape Verde, and there could be a shipyard there for the destroyer. Just a thought for the future.

For hitbox, I have to say I think the Hammerhead hitbox will be the best fit, as it's mostly vertical but with some horizontal elements as well.

They complain, they die. No free speech on our stations!:P

I doubt we'll get our own stations and stuff, what with it not fully fitting FL... we aren't as generically applicable as the Phantom faction for instance...

Anyway, maybe a custom hitbox could do? *Dodges rocks thrown by hassled modders that know better*

@ Dopamino: accept your appology. First i thought the black stripes will make it look more dangerous. Well, i was wrong and have changed it.

@ Jinx: What is making the ship big are the huge vertical fins. In length it is a bit shorter than the Anubis. Also it is my opinion, as a coalition VHF it should be a bit bigger. And yes, i have used the Hammerhead hitbox and resized it accordingly to this ship. Its the only one which is close in shape.
To make the screenshot brighter i have used a GIMP color filter, which is doing distort some colors, but in general, i have made the skin a bit brighter. I can give it a darker one of course, if the community want it.

Oh my, I never would have said it if I knew you did that on purpose.:$
From the screenshots, I think it could do with a bit of darkening, but if it's too much trouble don't worry about it.

I mostly lurk around Media Center these days.

[bluntpencil2001]

Well, I like the current skin... just the symbol on the side could be more visible.

Coalition dessie... delicious

Should there be a gunboat - the Kurgen could serve as a great basis.

Hmm...Lead me not into temptation...I can find it myself.
