Searching a ship... - Croissant - 04-09-2010

Ok mates,
a few days before i found some pictures while i was "googeling", the pictures had no description, but they are looking awesome!
Now im aksing you:
  • Is this a real freelancer ship?
  • Can we integrate this?(<-i think the answer will be "No", the ship will be to big xD)
  • Does anyone have a rp description (weapon slots, story) for this ship?

Here the Photos:

thats a concept / study made by Xing - some time ago. it was a semi-serious project for house faction flagships.

however - it was never taken too serious due to balancing issues - and partly, cause it just wouldn t really work.


edit:

like many of Xings models, the mesh of the ships is quite brilliant - and inspired/creative. - it lacks the skinning quality though. - while looking not too bad on a photoshop image with after effects. - it wouldn t look too nice ingame. - imagine a ship of that size, with a skinning resolution of a fighter ( meaning - at even a resonable range, the structure of the skin would dissolve to an unclear mix of colours )

either way - capital ships are unpopular and its hardly worth adding the idea of flagships, when they can be taken out by 2-3 bombers ( takes away the epicness a little ) - and a ship of that size can be hit at max range by a SN.



another idea would have involved such a ship to become a "base" - much like the stationary NPC battleships ( hence making it invulnerable and giving it a purpose at either the frontline - or back in some guard system ) - but that was never really proceeded much - and now it might be too late, xing hasn t been around disco for a while now.

Itll be fun to move this thing. Turning, docking anything would be nigh impossible.

Hmm... looks nice but the skin is kinda bad. Maybe it could be fixed.
What about we put it on a secret project of the RM somewhere at their research base. But not flyable but just a base. ^^

First we would need to get the model, but Jinx said that the modeller already left disco a long time before

Xing, or Yue Fei, left a while ago.

Those were his superdreadnaughts basically. Like the Supertanks of WW2, they weren't the most efficient but they were pretty damn powerful.

I think this would be a good idea, if we would have the model:(

Is there maybe anyway to contact him?


I edited the picture in photoshop:)
