Rumored? On topic, this kicks so much ass that my PC is having trouble compensating. All we need now is to optimise the CIWS and we'll have ourselves that there battlestar we've always wanted. Drthvdr12 wins the official Watsas seal of approval, despite a severe lack of vowels. "I want me that there battlestar"; my first attempted punchline on this fourm. Ahh the memories. |

Quote mrWHO wrote: Quote Thorin wrote: That...that...that... You...you finished it?! finnaly someone finished BBX Whaddaya mean "someone"? Joking, joking. That was originally my project, but my Hodder bailed on me an what he gave me had the curious attribute of crashing the hardpoint editor. Anyways, my attention span tethered from flight simming back to HW2 courtesy of my 6 month ADD cycle, and I decided to finish the thing up with CFHod (which is a great tool, btw). Quote Does her hangar is operational? Yeah, along with a weapons munitions hardpoint in front of the hangars. Fighters only go into one of the hangars, as the two hangars are not connected. I'll probably leave it at that since the thing doesn't get enough traffic to warrant using the other hangar. Other than that, I've added, a PDS grid, secondary weapons hardpoings, and missile pod hardpoints. The only thing that still needs to be done is a couple repair points (cuz man does this thing soak up fire) and the engine glow. Quote @DrthVdr12: So you now officially help PDS team ?? Nah man, I don't think I have the time to maintain a permament presence in the community. Its was the same story when I was in SWFA (Remember THAT boys and girls? The ORIGINAL SW HW Mod. ). I'm finishing up this project because 1.) I kinda feel bad not finishing this ship, which was so anticipated. 2.) It's fun to finish a short term project. and 3.) because, comeon people, this ship kicks ass. Honestly, you guys don't want a guy who takes 2 years to finish what is essentially a scaled up hgn battlecruiser. Besides, read my RDN sig tag, I'm an irresponsible modder. |

BTW did you sent finished BBX to Sun Tzu? In the past there was a debate that BBX was too big/expensive/overkill for standard field deployment (aka skirmish), but I hope that she will be introduce to counter INT Vanaar-Jet (if it appear) |

Don't be too hasty, mrWho, let him finish that beast. There is not a real problem with such a ship being somewhat uber in terms of armor and firepower. It is not versatile enough to create a balancing issue. |

slight OT: Speaking of BBX, I'm not sure but I feel that heavy SHARGs are quite weak. Once I builded Cush battleship only to found that from full broadside targetting Al-khalid 1/3 of shots missed and rest did ~3% of dammage. This made me think that SHARGs are bit retarded and I'm in favor of low caliber ICA (coz almost everything has them from Deliverance to Hawks) - for me, it's most revolutionary weapon after introduction of hypervelocity munition. |

Quote I'm not sure but I feel that heavy SHARGs are quite weak. Not nessicarily true. SHARGs are essentially the equivelent to heavy artillery, delivering thermonuclear tipped ordnance to a target at ranges greater than most ICAs while being nearly impossible to defend against with antimissile defences outside of dense FlaK barrages and tactical energy barrage shields. The SHARGs on the Iskandar Shah will eat an Al-mou-akar alive, provided the Cush vessel's manuverability comes into play, keeping it out of the Taiidani ship's direct fire beam weapons. Though the Battlestar, due to it's size to weight ratio, wouldn't be able to outmanuver Imperial vessels like Al'mou'akars or even older Qwaar-Jet model, and is best left to supporting large taskgroups. |

The Battlestar was meant to be a fleet flagship. This thing is essentially a mothership-class combatant, which means that they are difficult to construct. You'll likely see them in scenarios. Once built, though, the enemy would likely not dare to be anywhere she is. With the high coverage of SHARGs and several additional thermonuclear missile pods, this thing could take apart a heavy cruiser in no time flat. Any chance that it uses that giant ion cannon you made for it? (oh, and I honestly don't like ICAs) |

Quote Any chance that it uses that giant ion cannon you made for it? Negative. That thing, while really powerful and fun to watch, is way too slow and lacks a consequential vertical firing arc. Replaced with 3 LiirHra ion cannons (two in original spots and one in the nose.) Quote mrWHO wrote: and what's about this one: I'm not sure but I feel that heavy SHARGs are quite weak. In game, their actually the strongest kinetic weapons available. Also, There were suppose to more of them. Those twin turrets you see with barrels the size of the triples were suppose to be SHARG. So instead of the 12 SHARG guns in 4 triples in the Battlestar that everybody has, it has 31 in 5 triple and 8 double turrets. And thats not including the 13 destroyer class turrets and 24 PDS stations and 8 missile pods. It wont stand up to more than 3 heavy cap ships at once, but it'll still leave a helluva mark. Quote http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=64353 Did you finished that super carrier? If yes could you release her? Nah, the carrier is only half textured. If you notice any shots of the carrier, you'll notice that the bottom is almost always omitted. This is because its pretty bare and the bottom is suppose to be alot more detailed than the top. This:  on the other hand, is a two day job. Well, after you texture the engine. Speaking of which, should I open another thread? Cuz I don't want to intrude on the screenshot thread Edited by Drthvdr12 on 01-02-2007 18:01 |

Sticky threads tend to be overlooked. That is the only explanation I can find for HomeBoy's missing the Texturing Tutorial on Tanis Shipyards, where you can see this corvette |

It's only me, but I see Spectre as Fighter among Corvettes, something with better firepower than Avenger, but better speed and more agile than Khopesh/Lavi. It could be fighter killer (only in first flyby coz most of fighters would outmanuver her in dogfight - if they would survive flyby near her )and frigate killer in one hull. I can se she has 9 miniguns, 2 rocket pods and (possible) two ICA (those tubes at the bottom). EDIT: Namely HGN reply to Shamshir A and B. Edited by mrWHO on 01-02-2007 22:13 |
