[WIP] Z's Latest BSG Project.

[Adm_Z]

Hey guys, so here is an... object... which I have been wanting ingame for quite a while. Recently, I finally broke down and bought a copy of MS3D and as my first conversion(with some major help from Starfox) I present to you...*drum roll*

Spoiler: Scorpion Fleet Shipyards

More pics to come.

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

Uhhhh... If I may quote Jetfreak at this particular moment...

Spoiler: pic

Absolutely AWESUM MANG!!!

 

[Adm_Z]

That is amazing. I lol'd.

 

[Jetfreak]

You've attributed the quote to the wrong person, its from Cochrane.

That said, this is awesome. An elaborate and massive space station such as this is rarely done! We've seen big starbases and spacedocks, but this is a whole new level. THIS THING IS HUGE.

 

[Majestic]

Beautiful work Zaxxon, I think it will work well as a FO Argus Array background model.

 

[Undying_Nephalim]

Hehe you know how obsessed I am with massive background objects. Can't wait to have hundreds of Cylon Raiders zipping around that massive beast.

 

[Starfox1701]

(with some major help from Starfox )

Hay ine giid turn man

 

[Terra_Inc]

OMGWTFAWSUM!

Does it have full functionality and everything?

 

[Adm_Z]

Heh, at this point, it is just a background object(I replaced the argus array) but I will attempt to hardpoint it furtherer to get it to operational status.

Thanks guys!

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

Holy cow!

How many polygons does it have?

 

[Avon]

Lol, its cool. Reminds me of something from EAW.

 

[Dan1025]

Cool stuff Z

 

[K_merse]

I'm simply shocked. It's beautiful...

 

[Starfox1701]

Holy cow!

How many polygons does it have?

Who cares? You'll build only one of it anyway

 

[Adm_Z]

Yeah, I noticed no problem in FO, but I can easily slim that down by deleting the extra arms and some of the pointy things. The spheres can easily be slimmed down too.

If I were to break it up into individual stations I think they wouldn't be any higher than normal stations, so I don't think its a big deal.

I"ll try to get some more pics up later today also. Thanks again guys.

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

36k plus. Not too bad. I was just wondering if the A2 engine could actually handle that


Again, good work.

Such a station might be something for Homeworld 2.... functioning, including shipbuilding

 

[Adm_Z]

As promised.

Spoiler: more pictures

Once I get more of a variety of ships in, I'll take some better shots and some action shots as well.

if I were to release it on its own, how would y'all want it? Its kinda useless as is and I don't really know how to rotate hardpoints, but I can hardpoint it like a regular station, and try it like that, or would you all rather I wait and do something more elaborate with pods and working separate sections?

Edit: @ EAS, yeah I don't know about stock but Storm 3D didn't have a problem and FO doesn't either. I actually think the model is already for homeworld in the Fleet Commander mod, but I think it might be easier to use if it were in a smaller scale mod.

 

[Adm_Z]

No comments? Well, hopefully this will catch you guy's attention. I guess I can use this thread to showcase all my BSG related accomplishments. Whilst adding almost the entire MSFC BSG battle-fleet to my install, I noticed a thing which often bugs me. The Columbia textures look like they are missing panels like the Galactica. Now, I don't know if it is supposed to be like that, but who cares! I can fix it anyways.

So, without further ado, I give you a 'new,' 'bucket' . Since Maj's awesome ships share textures, I actually ended up making the cygnus and the defender look pretty cool too.

Spoiler: Bucket

Note that the last pic has a slight edit from all the rest. I noticed a problem with the panels I added on the flightpod and bent them a little to match the rest of the texture. Other than that, you get what you see.

 

[Majestic]

Looking great, I really like the enhancements you've done to the PRP ships. How did the Defender and Cygnus come out? Any texture mishaps? They were very difficult to get their textures right when I was doing them.

 

[Starfox1701]

Nice work. Might want to think about coping Glactica's crest to the other ships as it look a little bit nicer. The 2 tone seems to add more depth to me but its' you ship.

 

[Majestic]

I quite like the red one, adds a bit more difference to the Galactica hero units and the standard run of the mill production models.

 

[Adm_Z]

Yeah, I changed it to be red because all my other ships had a red one. I like the yellow, but I would also like it if my ships seemed like they were all from the same battle group. I had even considered making them all yellow, or blue, but I liked red the best.

As to the ships, see for your self. I think they turned out quite nicely myself. especially the Cygnus.

Spoiler: Cygnus and Defender

 

[Starfox1701]

Theres no dening they are very nice

 

[K_merse]

Goooosh! Awesome! :Y
Arew those docked Battlestars part of the station mesh or they're only placed there because it looks cool?

 

[Starfox1701]

No they are seperate

 

[Adm_Z]

yeah, they are separate, but I did hear a really cool idea to have ships be research pods so that they stay docked when they were built.

 

[Majestic]

They look awesome Zaxxon.

Also with the research pod idea, you could even have it so that the ship designs are researched there to make them actually useful. Though I can imagine a station that big would have major pathing issues for all nearby ships.

 

[Adm_Z]

Yeah, we'll see how it works.

 

[Adm_Z]

So y'all know I'm a stickler for matching ships, and I love canon designs, I decided to add, and then match the textures of the Berzerk class ship from ff. See what you think. Not exactly going for canon textures at this point, but I just really wanted them to match.
