Star Destroyer?

Star Destroyer?

I always wanted to make my own ship for FL! So now I'm thinking about making an Imperial Star Destroyer from Star Wars. Problem is, I don't know how many weapons Imperial-class Star Destroyers have. If any Star Wars fans have some answers, please respond!

1. What kind and how many weapons does an Imperial-class Star Destroyer have?

2. Is is possible to have the shield generators active like the two domes above the bridge?

3. Same as above but for engines?

Again, thanks in advance to anyone who can help me!

This is but a taste of the Dark Side.

2 and 3 are possible but the format for equipment models are done differently so i'm not sure. Multiple engines are done easily though. You just need the HpEngine hardpoints thats all.

Now as for your weps stuff im an sw fan also, try looking on starwars.com they may have aloudout of ur star destroyerweps, i also remeber sumone else making a star destroyer if thats true u should work on a super star destroyer with the blood red engines MUHAHAHAHAH that would be real good

Here are some facts from the Starwars Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels:
-1600 meters long
-60 turbolasers
-60 ion cannons
-72 TIE fighters
Have fun making those hardpoints

I have a Star Wars book that says the SD has 60 ion cannons and 60 turbolasers, but that just didn't sound right... I think I will just make about 10 class 10 gun/missile mounts, 10 torpedo/CD mounts, and 20 class 10 turrets. And probably around 300000 hull strength with two 50000 shield generators

Yeah I know...it's gonna take forever. I haven't even gotten the 3d model done yet! Hmmm...it would be really cool if the SD could launch some TIE fighters in the game if it got into a heavy combat situation it couldn't get out of (that's not gonna happen )

Oh and once I get enough experience with ship-making, I am planning on making just about every Star Wars ship there is! SD, then TIE Interceptor, X-Wing, Corellian Corvette, B-Wing, A-Wing, TIE Fighter, TIE X-1, Millenium Falcon, maybe even a Rebel Airspeeder the flies in space!

One more question... I need to know what 3d program to use to make my ships. I know most people recommend Milkshape, but I like 3d Studio Max better and I have had training for 3d Studio Max at school, and I know how to do much more with it than Milkshape. Just give me some opinions.

Well, thanks for the feedback everyone...

3d studio is fine, Milkshape can import it. It has to be put into milkshape in the end no matter where you start because it has cmp export functions.

I thought the SD had A LOT more hardpoints than 60. For some reason i thought it was 1000.


Someone was already making the Star Destroyer... They were doing a really good job too.

I will see if I can find the post on here......................... HERE WE GO! All it takes is some brains and the SEARCH FORUMS BUTTON!!!!

Yes

And when it is released I will use the Star Destroyer in my evil plan to destroy Rhineland and Bretonia.

You could also make the two shield domes destructable like in the movies

Post Wed Aug 20, 2003 10:56 am

I think Sephiroth must have lost something difficult to get to Rhineland or Bretonia. Thats why he wants to destroy them. I could be wrong though.

heh... Just like Cobra (Syl. Stallone) said:
