Just tossing this idea out in the open

I've seen plenty of cool ships from well known sci-fi series and movies, but none from any kind of sci-fi anime! I saw a post about a ship from Outlaw star and that got me thinking. What if someone made Valkyries from any of the Macross series? They wouldn't have to turn into big robots or go into gerwalk mode or anything, but I really love the whole jet fighter inspired design. Or perhaps, the Swordfish 2 fighter that Spike uses in Cowboy Bebop? That's a nifty ship. Got a big cannon too!

The Swordfish from Bebop is under development, and I have permission to use models from the Macross Homeworld mod to make FL Ships (with a few caveats, but nothing bad). I can convert them if someone can fix up the skins (I don't have the art skills necessary). Or I can get you the link fot the mod, and someone can do the lot themselves if they like (just ask the author for permission).

Am working on an assault ship from one of the more obscure anime but too many curves to get it right. I'll have to get an approximation.

Post Thu Jul 03, 2003 4:09 am

Which anime? I might know it.

Post Thu Jul 03, 2003 7:26 pm

The valkries is a great idea.....tho they are just an f-14 with the equivalant of a fiberglass over-fender

redlight? what redlight?

It's a little more than that. And it doesn't just have to be the VF-1. Someone could make the VF-11 Thunderbolt, or the VF-21 Excalibur. That ship is just plain hot, with it's reverse cannard wings or whatever. Looks like the Blackbird from X-men.
You should check out the new Macross Zero series, as it's easily the best I've ever seen out of them all. I think each episode costs several mil to make. It's soooooo good looking. Really. Check it out.

Seikai No Senki. Its an Abh assault ship. Doesn't look the same but its close enough for its purposes. Especially the main gun. It'll be slightly bigger than a gunboat but smaller than a destroyer.

Kurgan made the phoenix from battle of the planets too.

Giskard

Hmm. Can't say I've heard of that one. Still, that sounds really sweet, Wanderer. Any chance we'll be treated to some screenies soon? I just love new ships =D.

Post Sat Jul 05, 2003 3:36 am

I can't post screenshots because simply put, i don't have any websites of my own to post them on. If you have one and would like to have them for display, i have a few for viewing including some compilation shots showing the all the ships developed so far for size comparison. Just email me for them. The best screenshots are the ones in-game where the new weapons are being used though. Some of them are eye-popping.

Oh and Giskard, what do you mean by the Pheonix? I've only got the 1st and 2nd season so i'm not sure. Is it a 3rd season ship. If so, i haven't seen it yet. Still, i would like to see it myself.

The Arcadia looks interesing and i might do it but i'm thinking of making a super-station first. One with actual mooring bays that will accomodate the beast that is the Balistner. However, i think i will streamline the Arcadia so it won't be quite the same.

Midgetdevil, could you send me some screenshots? I would like to see those shots. Unless i'm mistaken, its a 3rd season ship is it not?

Post Mon Jul 07, 2003 5:54 pm

Wanderer, when are you going to release that Ballistner? I'm just kind of sitting around, waiting for it. If it's done already, could you just email me the necessary parts of the .ini files and ship files to put it into NG mod? That would be stupendous. Also, the Naginata looks really good. I love the ship design.
