GDI's mobile command ship, (for part 2) Options

[Muldrake]

This is what I have. One has no detail, the other I started a little bit on the hanger doors. It was a huge voxel, and it'll take forever to detail it, hence why I stopped.

Do you still have the 3d-model? Or do you made this completely in VSE?

Anyway if we dont find a finished command ship, maybe i make this. We just have to be sure about the design. If the design is very detailed and worked out, it doesn't takes long to create it as a 3dmodel and finally vxl.

[Muldrake]

I was never given the 3D model, only the voxel. I guess Christopski is the only one who may have it.

And I agree, for a model this size, it would be far easier to complete and detail in 3D than in voxel form.

[ChielScape]

ive started making a new model from scratch. not based on this design though.

[Lightstorm]

can you give us a concept drawing?

[ChielScape]

i dont have one. i just design while building.

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

here some of my ships i've made long time ago for an other game, but they were never used.
Maybe this helps to find some new concepts and designs

wow I'm LOVING these XD

[ChielScape]

really beautiful ships, but nothing that fits GDI.

[Bittah Commander]

I agree... They all appear to be a bit too alien.

that movie freaked me out so bad i wet my pants. and no its not too GDI, don't use it.
also: your voxel isn't too accurate:

right,
but it was made for a 3d-game where i have to keep the polygon-count small and use the textures from the game.
Anyway, see them as drawings; nothing really to use, but for design decisions.

To make them look gdi'ish is just a texture replace. 1 minute work.

How about making GDI's new command ship some kind of new large prototype battleship? Since it's a prototype, it'll be GDI's only large battleship, but maybe it can offer some support in certain missions...
For instance, it could send reinforcements (infantry only obviousely) in drop pods and maybe offer one of its weapons to be used as a super weapon (what that weapon is can be decided on afterwards; it could be a missile barrage or even a prototype portable Ion Cannon).

I thought that LKO's ship looked familiar

What game did you make those ships for, wouldn't happen to be Freespace would it?

How would you give it the droppod special weapon? Using the deploy logic?
So in its behaviour the GDI BattleCommandShip works like Scrin ships, using hover logic?
I think we shouldn't expect too much from the hover logic. It still has some problems with the deploy logic.
Thats why the GDI ship should be a normal aircraft. A deployable vehicle with fly-logic and therefore invulnerablity while flying should only be given to Scrin ships.
And this makes the droppod special weapon a problem and possibly not available.

So in the end it comes close to the Yamato Cruiser in Starcraft. Small laser guns and a big special gun (maybe a modified emp-logic for this).

X2 the threat.

I know some modders for Star Trek Armada, (My boyfriends account they think they know him but he hasn't used it in months) if the 3d structure is compatible maybe we could use one of the thousands of ships they made for the GDI command ship. (they don't all look star treky) I'll ask.

EDIT: GOT EM!! here are a bunch of Stargate ships (need to be voxelized) click to download.
ship 1 (homemade design similar to Daedalus)
ship 2 Daedalus
ship pack assorted SG-1 ships

if you don't like SG-1 i could probably dig up some different ships

@Lin Kuei Ominae:
Actually my idea was to have the ship flying in a high orbit, so it actually wouldn't be visible when launching drop pods or when you're using its weapon as a super weapon.

thats exactly what i was planning.

and why do we think about a design if it is never visible?

rescue mission

[Lightstorm]

does this even matter right now? i mean we haven't even started with part 1 yet.

[ChielScape]

got a point there.

[Team Black]

Yea I think we should give this one a rest, and pick it up later when we're on to part II
