Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

Well her she is a cruiser of my new Dutchy of Anderman shipset for my mod.

Please tell me what you think of her.


(note) I'm working on the Leon and the Anderman at the same time so I can increase the speed of my mod production I am however still paying attention to the detail that I want.

Re: Anderman Dutchy Shipset
 

Reminds me a bit of a blimp... Which with the Duchy title fits I guess.

Re: Anderman Dutchy Shipset
 

Well I wasn't quite going for blimp http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif but I guess if that's what you think it looks like.

Re: Anderman Dutchy Shipset
 

Cool image. You can save it as a PNG to save on size and make it load faster. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif But your off to a good start here Star. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

The forward tower looks like a sub conning tower, and the rear indeed looks like a blimp, perhaps you could add more detail to it and make it look like the rear is a 1930s zeppelin.....

I deem thee the Heisenberg!

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

Heeheeheeheehee..... you create your brand new Command Carrier while the rest of the fleet contains LCs at best, and you christen her the "Hindenburg".....

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

It's very blimpish.

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

And subbish, with the conning tower up front.

One more thing tho..... subs usually have a conning tower on the central body, not the lower front.

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

Well their ships are designed to look very "standoffish" since the Andermani's primary weapons in my mod will be a heavy missile loadout with a minimum of energy weapons available to them. Those "blisters" along the hull are in fact missile bays btw.

If you'll notice under the foward hull you'll see a MASSIVE laser cannon protruding from it.

Here is that cruiser's big brother, the battlecruiser.

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

That looks odd... I think it has some missing polygons on that band thingie.

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

Well actually those "bands" aren't really ment to protude off the hull that much, I may bump map them though and see how that looks.

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

Please upload png files in the future, not bmps. Thanks. Doga can export to png natively.

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

Bumpmaps don't change the geometry of something. It appears to, however, because it alters how shadows are projected, as well as reflections.

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

Sorry I could have been sure I uploaded that sucker as a png this time around.....I'll be more careful in the future.

"Bumpmaps don't change the geometry of something. It appears to, however, because it alters how shadows are projected, as well as reflections. "

No but considering that red "ring" is simply another part of the hull and is not supposed to be a seperate peice of it I hink just bumping it and making i stand off a little bit more would be suitable right now as I don't want to make it a whole new "peice" of ship.

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

Alrighty then here is the Anderman DREADNOUGHT!

BTW what you can't read on those flags is:
"Befreien Sie das Unterdrückte"
Which is a rough translation from german which means "Free the Oppressed"

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

"Befreien Sie DIE Unterdrückte", not DAS. Das is singular, Die is plural. What you say now is "Free the one opressed person!"

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

Blimps with bubbles...

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

Looks like something you would start seeing after having one too many dozen pints..... looks real good SH.

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

Woops thanks for the correction http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

And thanks for the comments.

Oh and as I said they are going to be extremely missile heavy so those "bubbles" are actually missile bays.

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

In star wars, those blisters are usually filled with explosive devices. When the devices are released, it creates a minefield that is very hazardous to any fighters passing by.

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

Star Wars? Mesa no knowen thet kinda teknology. Mesa thinken yousa might be meenin' blaster turrets.

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

Mesa gonna whack yousa witha biga stick if yousa keep up that jar jar binska crapeh LOL http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Seriously though, yeah those blisters tend to be blaster turrets on star wars ships....but on mine as I said they are HUGE missile bays.

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

There's usually missle tubes in it. Or a gun sticking out of it.

Re: Anderman Duchy Shipset
 

Well Null the reasons I don't have "tubes" sticking out is because:

1. I like the sleeker look of the blisters without little tubes poking out of them.

2. I want a shipset that looks different "visibly tactics wise" from many of the other sets that are going into my mod.

3. Because I don't like it.
