WIP: TIE Reaper

[Ice Knight]

very nice General_Trageton...i hope to see more of your ships in the future...

[Vince T]

Plans: <BR>Base/Exterior/Cockpit OPT<BR>FG-colors: NO<P>I have several weapon configuration ideas: <BR>- 4L4I(as seen on pic) <BR>- 2L2I(around the cockpit) <BR>- 4L(around the cockpit) <BR>- 4L(on the wings) <BR>Which ones should I make?<p>[ 06 June 2003: Message edited by: General_Trageton ]

[dugg]

Personally I like the idea of 4L4I. Perhaps swap them so the lasers are on the hull, and the ions on the wings, but either way works for me

[DropZone]

I like the weapons the way you have them in the pic, personally.

[Draco429]

If I had to choose from these four, I'd say the pic.<P>But I've got a colorful idea. What if you did two lasers on the top wings, and two below the cockpit, and two ions on the bottom wings, and two above the cockpit? Just a suggestion, and I won't really care if you throw it out the window.<p>[ 06 June 2003: Message edited by: Draco429 ]

I think the stats are not ralistic. The Hull is to strong, a so heavy ship wouldn´t be so fastand agile . I think it is a little bit overpowered. 4 Lasers, 2 Ions and the Missle Launcher would be enough. <P>Maybe you would add a Hyperdrive and big maybe a Cloaking device like the phantom.<P>The Model is very good work.<p>[ 06 June 2003: Message edited by: Darian Taldoshar ]

[outrider2400]

Whoa! That craft has got great textures. It looks like it could go underwater!

[Vince T]

@Darian: Good points. I'll compare it with other ships of the same size. Cloaking device, hmmm, not sure about that. I'll think of both the cloaking and the weapons.<P>@Draco: Nice idea, but I'd rather stick one weapon type to equal meshes and vice versa.<p>[ 07 June 2003: Message edited by: General_Trageton ]

[Ice Knight]

any plans on releasing it?

[Vince T]

would I show ingame shots otherwise?<P>However, that'll take its time. I'm having some really nasty exams coming in July(and in 10 days), which will decide about my professional future so don't expect it too soon.<p>[ 07 June 2003: Message edited by: General_Trageton ]

[Ice Knight]

ok...just wondering...

[Admiral Alistair]

I'm pretty sure concerns would be raised that keeping the cloning facilities open could lead to rebels getting their hands on the technology and producing an army of their own, so Palpatine vows never to use the technology again, destroys the cloning planet, but not before taking the technology to various hidden storehouses accross the galaxy should he need them again.

[Vince T]

we were talking about cloaking not cloning!

[BattleDog]

I think your starts are too strong. Remeber with heavy shieds you don't need heavy armor on fighters, thats only true for bombers and up. Also considering the guns you don't nedd that many missiles.<P>All that aside though; wow!

[Draco429]

'kay.

[Vince T]

Alright, I've removed 2 of the guns round the cockpit. Also, I updated the new stats:<P>Length: 17 m<BR>Speed: 120 MGLT<BR>Agility: 104 DPF<BR>Shields: 65 SBD<BR>Hull: 46 RU<BR>Weapons:<BR>- 4 lasers<BR>- 2 Ions<BR>- 2x6 missiles<P>i can't edit the missile payload as those are 6x from the model - see below!<P> <p>[ 09 June 2003: Message edited by: General_Trageton ]

[Ice Knight]

nice...

[Draco429]

I wish I could tex like that!!!

[Vince T]

Yeah, whatever is screwing up OPTech here, it doesn't do on my laptop, so I continued OPTing it there. Here's a litle progress showcase <P> <BR> <BR> <P>Soon the overal main hull elements will be done and I can go into detail.

[TK-204]

WHOA Vince!! <p>[ 17 August 2003: Message edited by: TK-204 ]

[Darksaber]

My advise would be to take the engine glows out, take a closer look at them ingame, they never look centered on such small engines therefore look crap.<P>The only reason mine don't have them.<P>Other than that its coming along well

[DropZone]

Nice

[isildur]

Looks very good!

[Atx]

Damn!

[LordExor]

I love that TIE!
