Citadel station beta pics

I've completed a beta of a new mega station named the Citadel. Here are the links to the pictures of it above Manhattan:

What do you think? Heavy shields, long range sensors, extreme range torpedos and the prominently displayed almighty siege cannons featured in the screenshots. These cannons have a 360 degree angle of fire and can destroy entire fleets with 2 shots or 1 if its a direct hit. Pictures were hosted courtesy of Giskard.

Ah that is nasty sweet! Looks like hell . Do those docking/mooring points work?

Wicked, that siege cannon is awesome. Did you make that ship too?

To answer both questions yes. Both the ship and the Citadel use custom weapon models as well.

You need to make your own massive mod, Wanderer. It would be nice to have all your stuff rolled into one all encompassing download. By the way, I never did get the Naginata to work, even with the default game. Also, I think the Citadel would be best represented in its own system with high contrast lighting. What I mean is... well, have you seen the Nexus? The lighting from that star in that system is very stark; white and black. I thought that looked very good on the ships that I saw there, and I thought that it would look even better on the Citadel. But then, I feel that EVERY system needs to have the contrast tweaked a bit. It's like the lighting in most systems is just too... everywhere. Hmm... I might start work on changing that.

Don't worry about that. Glock and i are working on it. After that, i'll be working with Leonhart on an epic space war mod with both of our ships and stations fighting it out for galactic dominance.

really nice

how did you manage the sur files? Or are you still waiting for an exporter, and in fact you can fly throught that thing?

and, thats really a BIG cannon

I borrowed some of the asteroid collision files. Its missing some areas but until an exporter comes along, it more or less fits nicely.

Post Sat Aug 23, 2003 4:07 am

Simple, it looked like the station but you collided with the asteroid. The asteroid is big enough that you'll be able to collide with 75% of the station not counting the outer ring.

My god...that thing is awesome...put some higher res textures on it or turn up your detail settigs be4 u take screenies tho that behemoth is what Fort Bush should REALLY look like. :-D Bush is a fort, not a dinky circular thing with wings :-D

Actually, those were high res textures but the station was so large there was a problem with getting all that detail to spread out evenly. I suppose some UVW mapping could fix that.

The mod with all Wanderer's ships is about ready to release. Watch for "FightSpace" to be released soon. Also includes ships by Firebase and some of your other favorites. Some never before seen ships as well.

Thank You. Glock 36.
