Osiris?Performance?Pricing?Worth it?

I have the Osiris III mod. Is it worth all that cash? I hear it's slow. I know it's a battleship, but it doesn't take like five minutes for a course change? SubXero if you read this, make number four with a bigger hold. Think, a train holds like a million units and that massive ship only has 500? I think it's great though. I can only imagine the cargo raiding with 5 torpedo launchers. Sunslayers baby. Nothing will stand in my way. Also, how is turret coverage? Do I have at least three turret finring in every direction?

If you want a great battleship, talk to Wanderer, he sent me the best Dreadnought modification I've ever played (all other battleship mods don't even come close). Custom beam weapons, rail guns, and missiles that take down battleships in a singe shot. On top of that, its got Guardian shielding, meaning it'll take more then your average weapon to even dent the shields. I went up against a fleet of Nomads and it took them minutes to take down my shielding.

Oh, and the cargo hold is something like 50000

Actually the number was 1,000,000. And currently i have a brand new ship. New hull design, a ton of new weapons and shielding levels that will make your eyes pop. 4 heavy beam emplacements that can cut a Rhineland battleship in 2 in seconds, 2 particle cannons, 8 flak cannons, 8 side firing torpedo bays (4 on each side) and 10 interceptor missiles (5 on each side). Also, i've given it 4 shield hardpoints and 2 special advanced countermeasure systems.

I've also upped the firepower of ALL weapons used in the game and ship strength to bring things up to par. Most noticeable change is the Liberty cruiser. Their main cannon is now the sniper rifle of space combat. Long range and high power. 1-2 of these cruisers can bring down a battleship at long range (6km) before it can even get close. Also, ALL of the other ships that previously didn't carry shields now do. In other words, if a capitol ship fight breaks out, your going to see some MAJOR firepower being dished out.

There are only 3 problems with this ship at the moment:
1: DLLs. I can't seem to get the infocards right no matter what i do.
2: Transparent textures. They aren't. Until i can find working transparent tga's i'll have to stick to a solid textured bridge glass
3: Not in FLMM format. Self explanatory actually. If problems 1and 2 get solved, i hope to find someone who would convert them.

Wanderer, could you email me the battleship whenever you have it done? I don't need it in flmm format to install.

Yeah me too please, just like make a post in announcement forum. One question though, does it come with a turret like those big ones on Bretonia battleships, they are really cool and they look like beam weapons.

Since there doesn't seem to be a way to import custom turrets, yes the main guns of the Javelin are the Bretonian battleship guns and they definitely look cool. By the way i've sent the files to those who requested it. .45 your email address for some reason doesn't exist. Please contact me so that i can send it to you. By the way, does anyone know how to get a light blue transparent tga texture? Photoshop on my system keeps saving it as psp. Also, does anyone here have good knowledge on doing infocard dlls? I keep having errors with mine. If not, please send me the feedback regarding what you think about the cruiser.

can you email it to me to please? my email is [email protected]

Post Sun Jun 22, 2003 6:00 pm

Can you send it to me? just use the little mail button above my post.

Post Sun Jun 22, 2003 6:11 pm

The ship better be priced at like.....100 million.
Not that hard to get 100 million. *wink* *wink*
No seriously though otherwise it will constantly be abused even by NOOBS!!!!!!

no complaints here. I alleady have 2 mill

Post Sun Jun 22, 2003 11:44 pm

Anyone who's downloaded Wanderer's mod, have you been able to get it to work? Mine won't for some reason.

Post Mon Jun 23, 2003 3:16 am

I borrowed the bones from another mod to place battleship encounters in Manhattan space in order to test out the balance between the capitol ships, this might cause some problems since engines, powerplants and tractors became visible. I can't keep track of the request most of the time so could those of you who want it please email me. I will respond in a maximum of 24 hours. Also, please make sure that you have about 1mb of space in your mailbox. The file is about that big. For those who have experienced problems using the mod though, email me again and i'll send you a lite version that should have only the ship and its equipment.

Oh and the ship is available for peanuts since its in the testing phase.
