Good questions indeed, that will never annoy me, only inspire a greater depth of thought to put forth. Yes in SC the forward gun is the only gun. But hey, changes must be made. A sufficient amount of turrets will be added I assure you which is not unrealistic. I have done plenty of research and in the cutscenes and many other detailed 3D pictures I have downloaded of the ships, most of them do have other guns on them that you never see in the game. All of this was done by Blizzard so its official and will be very true to the game still. I will try to mount the weapons according to the scenes I have seen, but I can only get so close. If things go far and look well, I may ask someone experienced and renowned such as silverfire to help me in creating a special weapon pack with these ships. Like for the Yamato gun and forward guns. I am almost done with the design of the BattleCruiser, just have to add the mounts and texture. I did find out what was wrong before and I had to start over. But the second time went smoother and is looking nicer than the first. Thanks for the support!

Oh, and theres only one yamato gun, it always looks like that... a big fireball of energy type of thing. This weapon would be specially made for this ship and maybe mountable on other ships.. But very doubtful. I am not accustomed to making weapons or weapon effects... but thats the point where I will go to the editing forum for help. This would be a slowfiring but huge damage weapon like most Capship forwards are.

MD where are you !? NEED IMPUT .. IMPUT! (Short circut)

Chibi

Now the question is will MD want such a ship in the mod. We must keep this thread alive till we find out. *Starts making smoke signals to grab MD's attention*

If a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a hurricane, what do spammers cause?

LOL, My thoughts exactly... in any case no matter what happens... I think I will make this ship pack and maybe a system to go with them... I suppose. I think it would fit the rebalance mod well, but if MD doesn't want it, I can either make my own mod or find another one. But I honestly like this mod and think its more befitting for this type of thing and the more variety the merrier... right? Anyways, I flew my ship for the first time last night with no textures (the battlecruiser) and no guns and it needs some work still. I just wanted to be sure it would even get into the game.

Chibi

gotta get my topic back up to date... sigh MD ! WHERE ARE YOU!

Chibi

bump...

Chibi

Maybe with both topics up near the top.... Bump.

Sry for not replying guys byut i was working arround the clock at the new SW models and as i said in the comments forum did not have time to reply.
ChibiSphere, that BC from Starcraft is a nice mode, and even if i don't like Starcraft too much i would'nt say no to it...
I think the Yamato gun can be emulated through a big plasma projectile, with a orange color, and moving quite fast. It'll hae to be very devstating, but i think i can code that quite easily. Turrets must be added as well to the BC, i agree with that. Try to match the weappon config on the Javelin or Tempest. So you can finish that model and if you want to me to texture it i can take care of that...or if you can do it yourself it's ok as well. as you wish...

YAY! Umm.. well so far I got 2 mines mounts on it and took away some of the turrets (compared to the Leviathan that is). It has 4 gun mounts as well that are mounted at each corner (the long horizontal tubes on each side). I have flown it once just to see what it would be like, but it was a little overscaled and I havent found a good texture idea yet... I can e-mail you the results so far in cmp format or in milkshape format if you would like. Though you may want to see it in milkshape so you can change whatever you wanted. I haven't started on any other ships, due to lack of enthusiasm in the forum... I mean I geuss there would be no point for the rest because theres already such a huge selection of ships. The only need for these would be for former Starcraft fans but that doesn't seem to appeal to many Freelancer players. Besides, lol, who would want to fly a terrain wraith that couldn't cloak? I just go tthis huge brainstorm when I first thought of making SC ships, and I had all this crap in my head about making a small system and three planets (one per race) and selling the sc ships from those bases. But, it would most likely be a waste of time. Anyways let me know if you want to see the Battlecruiser (incomplete).

Chibi

Ok Cibi, send the model to me in ms3d format and i'll try to find a proper texture, also i'll fix/rebalance the hardpoints as well. If you can find/make models for the Wraith, Protoss Scout or Valkyire Missile Frigate, go ahead. Even if there's gonna be a ton of new ships in v3.40, some nice SC models would'nt hurt.

I can start working on them later this week... Ill send the one I have when I get home (im on friends comp right now)

Chibi

He finally noticed. Do you think it was my smoke signals? Good luck with those models though. I am more interested in editing scripts and such than modelling .
