Shadow
Length: 10m
Cost: 30,000c
Armaments: 2s ports
Agility: Medium
Hull: 4000
Cargo: 5
Abilities: Cloaking device(or Signature Dampener)

Now, first off, I want to get this straight, the cloaking device DOES NOT make you invisible. All it does is take your ship off radar. Homers still go after you, autoaim still works on you, but you are not visible on radar as anything more than what an asteriod is now. Other than that, I have a model of this ship, but it still needs to be textured, when I finish putting textures on it, I will put a render of it and a copy of the.3ds file that it is. Although if you're on IRC and you ask, I can send you a picture of it, but I will not post it incomplete.

/me wanders of to the 3D modelling mobile

[edit] 10 not 15 >.<

Having looked at the ship's size and shape I would like to point out that this ship from the side and above is a rather large target.

Yeah, it's a pretty good model... The "balls of death" should be changed to weapons tubes embedded in the wings, though... :P Oh yeah, I've stuck a render up at http://vendetta.tyrdium.com/shadow.jpg ... *hopes Scuba doesn't kill him* :D

meh, thats alright, but I don't want people thnking that color scheme is supposed to be there..
Jan 07, 2004 Pyro link
Hehehe... That would look awful... When you're done, send the textured one to tyrdium@tyrdium.com; I'll stick it up.

it was good looking, and the whole radar thing would be cool.

shadow no jutsu?
(naruto thing)

Anywho, we do need new/re-done ship models, our current ones have been stagnant for awhile.

Affirmative. Highly affirmative. Gotta slap external weapon models on 'em also, like the specials.

Guys, it's great that you post ideas here, but it would be better (I think it was Celebrim who said this) if you emailed the devs your fully-fleshed out and professional idea for an addition and keep it private instead of posting it here for all to see. Just my two bits.

Well posting it on a forum allows you to discus it, then change it and *then* send it to the devs... (if you do that in the first place)
Jan 08, 2004 HumpyThePenguin link
The model isn't finished, so I thought that unwise camps
Jan 08, 2004 Trigger link
how much cargo space does this ship have?
Jan 08, 2004 HumpyThePenguin link
good question, added

This ship will be good when we get more crowded places, crowded as in more maze-y roids and stuff, hide in a roid and well, hide, then stop hiding when some one comes!
