The almighty Vesuvias.

Yes, it's the Vesuvias, the big bad sporty carrier from Wing Commander fame.
(Original wcp image)

It's been a little side project I've been working on. Unfortunatly I've no more free time due to college and was offering the project up to anyone interested in completing this monstrocity.

This monster weighs in at 981 verts and 1273 polies.
I have the main model and the skins completed, all you have to do is put it together and possibly tweak the hardpoints.

Here are a few of the wip shots (in milkshape)



The stuff is located...
Here.
And here for additional skins.

For reference, the official Vesuvius stats stand at..
Class Heavy Carrier
Length 1,600 meters
Mass 250,000 tonnes
Max Velocity 150 k/s
Standard Velocity 100 k/s
Max Y/P/R 6/6/6 deg/s
Guns Dual-Mount Anti-Matter Gun (14), Mass-Driver Turret (16), Dual-Mount Laser Turret (24), Torpedo Tube (2)
Shields Phase
Front/Rear/Right/Left Armor 4,000 cm
Core Strength 6,000 cm
Fighter Complement 400
Jump Capable Yes

24 turrets, and with its design,it should be able to fire all of them, top and bottom at the same time at any given target. Tired of those pansy freelancer capships? This beast will give you a run for your money.



This is your life, it's all been ordinary. Do you find all you were? Then you find your life is all but something ordinary and you're longing for a home, you're gonna find yourself at home.

With some modifications, this will make a nice Judgement class ship. I think i will reserve it for the Prophecy. It won't be a carrier though. Some new weapons FX and it will be the new "Purifier" of the system. Cleanser of Life.

Update: I had time to finish adding the weapon hardpoints. 27 of them. The link's been updated.

Hey, that's a screenshot from Prophecy, isn't it?

Post Sun Oct 05, 2003 7:04 pm

You're right, it is. a bit of accidental mislabeling. *fix*

Post Sun Oct 05, 2003 8:08 pm

:OOO someone finally did it!

About 2 years or so ago i was working on a model of the Vesuvius in Lightwave for Klingon Academy (KA is lightwave native =) ). I halted work on the model because of real life matters.

I was allso going to use this in the StarLancer Capital ship contest that was going on TLR awhile back. The model never got finished but i will post pictures of it here anyway. The images are quite big, as i'm a detail freak heh.

It's a bit thick, but its better detailed then mine.

Post Sun Oct 05, 2003 9:56 pm

Yes, the original TCS Vesuvius' thinness drove me nuts, lol.

Woah! That thing Rules!

Bah Bah Black sheep have you any wool? NO!

Post Wed Oct 15, 2003 7:31 pm

Now if only I could trick someone into completing it since I don't know how to skin it, nor do I have the time with college right now.

Post Wed Oct 15, 2003 9:17 pm

Well, I could take a stab at it, but I probably wouldn't do the model justice.

Well, I already have the skins bundled with it.
They just need to be put on the model.
