Modelling madness progression of the day

[Jinx]

on a more serious note....

the textures on the ship must be MUCH MUCH higher resolute than now if its that size ( or so i d guess ) ... other than that.... it would need a different mod to really use ships of such epical size. ( or rather a mod that scaled down every ship down by 10 times )

what such a ship would be really awesome is to be the rheinland HQ ( maybe undockable - but something like a huge weaponsplatform in a guard system )

making such a ship playable takes away "epicness" cause it wouldn t be unique anymore ... making it an admin approved ship only means that certain game mechanics need to be taken into account ( especially balancing - and manouverability ) ... but to be an ultra heavy weaponsplatform in a custom guard system is something that would make it WORTH discovering ( and dieing for ).

imagine.... you enter the RM guard system and somewhere - against the sun in like 140k distance, you see the silhouette of such a ship. ( that is - if you place the system entry in a way that you inevitably have to look at that shape when entering ) - many a pilots would die trying to get close to it - just to look at it.


without such "landmarks" guard systems are very often boring - not worth to discover... all you see is a few bases and generic planets if you re lucky, nothing really characteristic for a faction.

Well, if Jinx feels like hardpointing and converting this monster... =P
Jinx' idea isn't bad actually. It might be quite interesting.

the spot that you marked as a "blind spot" would be PERFECTLY suited to build a whirlpool and a small biodome.

what would be better than taking a bubblebath right in that gap.... but i daresay... rheinlanders don t enjoy bubblebaths - - somehow i cannot imagine the rhainland military in shorts ( and the rheinland women appear to be more on the serious side, too

Yeah. They all have their hair up in buns, and you try anything on them and you'll have a stilleto heel through your throat faster than you can say Landwirtrechtbewegung. Manage to get them to let their hair down, though... ;)

hair in buns in the army is, pretty much the most practical hair style you should have anyhow, for females.
You really don't want the many harnesses of your godamn helm to get after your hairs...

...dude. How high is the poly count on that thing?

Because it would make an epic base, if loading it wasn't likely to crash the server.

Quick comment - we thought that Panzer was the Leader, Swift. -Agmen

Which Dreadnought was that?

One of your nine.

[Xing]

20 809, according to metasequoia, which mixes rectangular shapes and triangle. So, assuming they are all rectangle, multiply by 2, roughly 40 000 poly, probably less.

but if this ship is player flyable...i wonder if this thing could dock.....

[Eppy]

I'm surprised it's not crashing FL at that rate...unfortunately it'll probably make the server scream for Jesus, but it'd still be epic:)

I'm guessing you've never seen Itano Circus Stress Test video on youtube....
You seem to underestimate Freelancer lol.
Though I still wouldn't recommend making it other than a base to dock on...several of those in play would be bound to do some harm.
