The Lightning. - massdriver - 11-20-2011

EDIT: Added fixed retextured version image, IN LIBERTY COLORS! texture color will be different ingame.

Introducing "The Lightning", an experimental Order heavy fighter ship. The idea was simple - create ship capable of eliminating any threat to the Order and to fill gap within tech tree.

Ship stats variant:

3 x Class 9 weapons.
2 x Class 10 weapons.
1 x Class 9 shield.
1 x CD/T
1 x CM
1 x M

Hull strength - 8,500
Power output - 9,500 u
Power recharge - 950 u/s

Cargo space - 50 units.
Nanobots - 50.
Shield batteries - 50.

The hull model is completed, shiparch code, .sur and .cmp are on a way, depending on my free time ofcourse but I guarantee that it will be finished this year.
Any suggestions, ideas are welcome.

The teal highlights look terrible. Aside from that, I like the model.

The name doesnt fit the order, however - Order ship and equipment names are based on either symbolism of death or egyptian deities/locations, and "lightning" doesnt really go with either set. Amunet, Horus, or Wadjet would all work well.

EDIT:

Balance-wise, the standard heavy fighter power core is 9000 capacity / 900 regen, not 9500/900. You also list the ship as having 5 guns and no turrets, while current heavy fighters of similar hull strength have 4 guns/2 turrets (cuirassier), 6 guns/0 turrets (Paladin), and 6 guns/1 turret (karasu).

Seth - I think this name will fit "Order naming convention". As for ship's stats, it's just a variant.

Seth's already taken by the new Light Fighter.

I'll help find a name for it if you like:D

Overall, my take.

GIEF NAO.

It's an awesome model, looks like what OSD would use:D

Without the blue Stuff it'd would be a nice Ship. Only these blue Circles on the Bottom of the Ship look good.

If Seth taken then try Set, Setesh, Sutekh, Setekh or Suty.

Yup , this one looks good with those Ice colour.I say this ship is better than the current Bastet ship.

The Lightning. - Turkish - 11-20-2011

Isis fits it but that'd be a tough sell.

EDIT: Set corresponds to thunder in Egyptian mythology too.

I'd avoid more S names.

Aten
Maahes (Lion-headed god of war, weather)
Thoth

Those some names to choose from:)

Here: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_pantheon

Where I found most of the names:)

Contrary to the (I'm assuming) standard order modus operandi of 'act casual', you turn the ship to this? Come oooooon...

Other than that, model looks nice.
