Okay, I saw the robot ship and thought, how hard could it be? So, I wanted to make a Robotech Veritech. It didn't turn out as cool as I imagined. And it's a lot tougher to make something like this than I thought it would be. You know, pieces pointing only in certain directions, waping, etc. Anyway, here's my attempt that occurred while I was actually playing. I got carried away, now I need to reload. Anyway, it does bare some resemblance to a Veritech: Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/> I need to load one with weapons and pick a fight to see if I can get better shots in the combat viewer. I tried pulling one from the main map, but it was worse than these shipyard shots.

" got tired of asking the dems for a planetary base and finally built my own"

I didn't know the democrats had planetary bases to give out. Hehe

Ummm... it finally dawned on me that if I cropped pics I post, you might actually see something. You'd think I would've realized that earlier as most of the pics on here are cropped but I'm dumb so you'd be wrong. Here's a cropped Veritech where you can actually see what I used. I am very unhappy with the lower arms and mildly unhappy about the "knees" that seem to knock together or join. I am open to suggestion on how to make either more closely resemble a proper VT. I also added some cropped shots of my superheavy cruiser, the Chimera:

Kryos mod has made people make some awsome designs...
Reply #661 Top
I'm a purist... I dont use the kryos mods cos... I dunno, i kinda like the challenge of making kick ass ships within the constraints provided... it's more challenging; and I'm quite chuffed every now and then... most of the time (even if i do say so myself)... I'd post some pics but it's late at night and most of my work is on my main comp (not my laptop - which I'm typing on)... but maybe one day.

having said that; every time I look at the mod section here, I am so tempted by the kryos mod cos it just seems good and keeps getting better... so maybe I will try it some time after all.

Wow I can't belive there a so many people that havn't at least tried Kryo's hull mod, that's one of the few mods worth downloading.

Speaking of Kryo's mod....

Announcing the first of a new line in combat ships the 'Predator' class fighter is hot off the lines at our new Alpha shipyard on Mars. Designed as a short range attack fighter this model works best in small groups as it does not carry much in hte way of firepower or shielding.

The Predator









And launched in full glory





More soon from the Alpha shipyards on Mars!!

I should try mods. I haven't yet, everything I do is au naturale. But, I am running out of ideas, sort of sick of trying to make distinct styles from the same old parts. I have 3 lines of ships, I show the Halcyon line of stuff because I like it the most, looking all exotic and curvy. I have another line of ships that are also alien-looking while being vastly different from the Halcyon, very angular and cold(?), stuff that is decent and maybe I'll post that stuff some day. The third line I do, honestly, isn't very creative and I wouldn't show it to my dog, kind of blocky, legoland type things. I keep attempting new styles, but with the limited ship parts available, I scrap anything new because it really ends up looking like crap I already did or a horrendous, confusing mix of styles. I notice those who use the mods obviously have more options available to them and thus can create more unique styles... I didn't say that right. I mean, they can decide to create a whole new style of ships and they will actually look like a whole new style. Proud as I am of two thirds of my ship designs... it's getting boring.

And here's a shot of the Halcyon colony ship, 3 shots of an alien but unnamded ship line, the first, a tiny fighter called the Kovlaas, and the other two of a medium hull cruiser called the Nehrsai, and lastly, why not, 2 shots of my Legoland-looking ship from my underwhelming Imperion series, as yet unnamed and not even really finished:

I don't know what's up but I can't get to view your bases. Maybe I can copy the thumbnail and blow it up so I can see 'em.
