What''s your favorite Star Wars Ship

See above, not death star or falcon, or any of them that big...

Post Sat Jun 14, 2003 5:37 pm

I like the looks of the Noobian fighters from Ep 1. But I like the fact that I can upgrade them to be stronger in SW Galactic Battlegrounds, then they also look a little different. You could have three classes of them.

If you're looking for ships to build, don't forget about some of the more obscure ships in Star Wars. Such as the Trade Federation fighters, the Imperial Transport, light on fighter capabilities, but great for cargo. I'd even look at Galactic Battlegrounds for other civilization's fighters and bombers and transports that don't appear in the movies. I have no artistic ability, I have no way to do them. But everyone knows all the popular ships are going to be done, but the ones not seen in the movies are likely to be forgotten.

And if Star Wars ships are going to be added into Freelancer, I want to eventually reach a point where it is a total conversion, because I hate having things feel out of place.

A-9 Vigilance small but fast

How many assholes do we have on this ship anyhow?

Post Sun Jun 15, 2003 4:31 am

How about a Y-wing? I don't belive it's out yet.

Post Sun Jun 15, 2003 4:40 am

Porsche did the Y-Wing pegleg.

Anyway I say it's a toss up between the R-41 and the Republic Cruiser. If I ever get done making WC fighters I'll probably do the Republic Cruiser.

Post Sun Jun 15, 2003 5:40 am

lol, i thought you called him pegleg as an insult, then i noticed his name .
i would also like to note, being a huge SW fan, that the "trade federation fighetrs" are droid fighters. no pilots in them. but of course, this doesnt mean they cant be in a mod.

my personal favorite is the Z-95 Headhunter. the predecessor (spelling?) to the X-wing.

soome ideas i am not sure have been done :TIE fighterm TIE interceptor, Imperial shuttle, Snowspeeder, Combat cloud car/ reg cloud car, Dash rendar's "Outrider", E-wing fighter, IG-2000, Incom T-16, Lando's "Lady Luck", Nebulon Ranger,Skipray Blastboat, Storm, V-wing, and though i have never seen a picture of it, THe Shadow chaser. Or maybe some of the Yuuzhan Vong coral skippers. i hope t his sparks your imagination.

Darth Worm, I know that robots controlled the fighters in SW, but they have robots in normal cockpits, just as they have robots in the tanks on the ground. I mean who in the Trade Fed would want to be efficient and actually just have onboard computers do all the work rather than putting in a separate robot with a slow reaction time?

Come to think of it, it sounds like some of the stupider factions we already have. There wouldn't be a difference.

Post Sun Jun 15, 2003 8:19 pm

Hey deadflip,

We all like the ISD, but I think there have been NUMEROUS threads on how one would chunkify the game engine, even on a super-fast computer. Too Bad.
A/w, doesn't mean it wouldn't be a really awesome base. If someone could just get the old .sur file thing down.

Actually, the design for the ISD is pretty simple. I've done a few that use the textures for the detail. The actual hull of the ship is smooth and it only requires a total of 32 objects. Most of which are either 3D triangles, spheres, or rectangles which were slightly bent and shaped. The trick is to do the 3D with your textures and that will keep your poly count almoast non-existant.

I'm still looking for a basic, stand-alone X-Wing mod. I'm on a really bad connection, and all the mods I've seen with a X-Wing in them are ~15+ megabytes, which is a three hour download for me.

Or a Hapan Miy'til Fighter or Miy'til Assault Bomber. Fighter carries two lasers and a missile tube, while the Bomber has two lasers and two huge missile tubes (total of 32 missiles of the type the Falcon carried in RotJ).
