That one's kind of like a starship-troopers kinda thing. Interesting.

I'd like to see pirate_n00b running after traders in the Yellow Holy Hand Grenade of UIT.
Naked, drooling, and saying "pLeAsE" on 100.

[edit:]
Just kidding with you, pirate ^_^

For people who need free, reliable hosting, you can get it (for images) at www.photobucket.com
Much easier than making your own webpage too. :P

Harry Seldon: STOP!!! YOUR MAKING ME GO CRAZY WITH tHESE COOL SHIPS! ITS NOT FAIR PUT THEM IN! PUT THEM IN! PUT THEM IN OR IM GONNA HACK THE PROGRAM AND PUT EM IN!!! PLEWAS!!!

(Drools all over the keyboard and gets electrocuted. Then goes around butt-naked and sings the VO theme song. (Impossible))

didn't think it was possible to electricute yourself with a keyboard...

I like Seldon's mjolnir. Like the dropship from Aliens. Kickass.

Funnily enough, I have seen neither. Thanks for the feedback though. :D

And as such, we will name her the Mjolnir-Class Military Light Assault and Alien-defeating, Bug-blasting, Aircraft-like Yet Vaguely Proliferous Sci-Fi Dropship-ship.

Seldon, I COMMAND you to immediately stop what you are doing and go rent/buy/watch Aliens. (One of my top 5 movies of all time)

or you can just have the Union-C class dropship from battletech.... love to see a big giant ball floating around in space...
May 31, 2005 Harry Seldon link
Wait...I'll go see aliens, but is the dropship named the Mjolnir?

On another note, it is impossible to electrocute yourself with a keyboard (as CP mentioned earlier) in part because due to a FCC regulation, all keyboards have to have a fuse built into them to avoid zapping stuff (or something) during power spikes (doesn't really happen with keyboard, so the regulation is silly anyways).

And, uh, with pirate_n00b's "strange" behavior, I doubt that he'd be able to hack VO anyways.
May 31, 2005 CrippledPidgeon link
To my knowledge, you really can't hack Vendetta. Simply the fact that the client doublechecks with the server to make sure that all the files match up.

And even if keyboards have fuses, do they even carry enough current to shock someone?

Maybe I'll make a new fighter later... motivation is somewhat lacking right now, but I do have a couple designs sitting around that I could model.

Ok im better now. (Had to spy on the Devs.)

But im serious it woukd be very fun.

Got another. If you can't tell, this is what I'm doing for relaxation during finals. :P Making stuff that looks like it could kick major butt is therapeutic.

This UIT design was designed with the pirate threat in mind, and is primarily a heavy-escort fighter. Named the Boanerges, or "Son of Thunder", this utilitarian vessel loses a thin profile in exchange for large weapon banks and additional vector thrusters, keeping maneuverability within the range of a heavy fighter.


I swear, I'll get around to texturing these one of these days...

Jun 02, 2005 who? me? link
it reminds me a bit of the prometheus except lengthened along the width of the ship.
Jun 03, 2005 GRAIG link
yeah seems like a "double"prom !
BTW harry all your ships look very good...

it would be nice if Devs add them in game
Jun 03, 2005 Chikira link
Devs, you guys have alot of ships here, some useable and some not, and from the looks of things about 90% of the players want these ships in game, Is there a possibility of using these ships in game once the moving is completed?
