Armada II - Dawn of War

Looking good

Thanks buddy!
2 more and I really really have to go study haha...the less time I have the faster I mod

This seems to be coming along nicely. I really like the idea a lot. Specialized ships in stock A2 seem to be so very general in nature. Have you thought about increasing the crew amount and adding the Transport Attack special weapon? I wonder if Transport Attack could be modded in such a way that a variant of it could only be used to attack a planet? Should be simple to do. After looking at the thumbnails, I had a mental image of one of these in a close orbit above a Borg-occupied planet, smashing Collective ground stations with rapid fire phaser pulses and transporting assault troops right on top of the remains of the facilities she'd just blasted. If you like the idea and want to use it, go right ahead. If I can help with this, I'd be glad to.

It's a great idea thunderfoot, i'd like if we could co-develop this!
You seem far more experienced in developing weapons! I look forward to see what we can come up with. I'm also thinking of adding some sort of weapons on the bottom of that weird shaped part, sort of like bombs that drop down to the planet (torpedoes or missiles I guess).
Is there any way to make a weapon that only targets planets too? Probably goes along with what your saying. Is there perhaps another way I could contact you? (MSN or something? PM me )

I feel like working on this ship and fininshing her up but I can't really afford the time, well atleast I shouldnt afford the time

[Fireball_VI]

The model and textures are done (minus damage).
A little explanation about some of the parts, the 4 squares you see on the bottom of the part that holds the nacelles, these are the bomb/missile/torpedo (haven't decided which) bays that will be used to bomb the planet, probably a special weapon because it would be inconvenient to attack another ship with them. Also on the bottom are phasers that could be used to target the planet.

The only ship to ship weaponry this thing will have is the phasers.
I perhaps need to refine the glows on the windows further, but I am otherwise happy.

Cool, can't wait to see her done

[Fireball_VI]

Well, me being me I had to damage the ship, here she is all battled up, mostly things that were glowing are no longer glowing, but I also have some hull burns and scortches here and there.

[starfox1701]

Every thing looks good except the bussard. The line is to clean extent the carbon scoring further back.

[Fireball_VI]

I'm a little confused, could you perhaps clarify or explain with a picture? Your saying that it's too dark? (sorry it's 7 in the morning and i've barely slept, it could juts be me missing it)

[starfox1701]

Not too dark the line between the damaged bussard cap and the rest of the Necelle is to clean and straight. It doesn't look natural. I think that maybe adding more carbon scoring around that line to break it up some.
