M15 Class "Gladiator" Corsair Heavy Fighter

[Banza]

This is madness...Vhf with flying skils of some light fighter.no way.
if this is going to be in new mod,you could make baracuda fighter with 10k armor to even sides.

Where did you see anyone comparing it to an LF?
Last time I checked, Falcon wasn't a LF. You know what it was? Yup, a HF.

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.

Why did I know this was going to happen...

Because when its Corsair or Outcast, it always does!

Titan sized as a Centurion isnt really a step up or down in size. If you look at the size of the Centurion and the Titan, the only difference is a slight bulking of the wings and an addition of a winglet fin on the end of each wing.

But honestly, the stats aren't going to be decided here. Whatever it happens to be, im sure it wont be anything as ridiculous as a Catamaran, Liberator or BHG gunship.

Lets just talk about the model?

Don't pop my headf into the dev section very often but I see this lovely model and I ahve to post. It's exactly the kind of model this mod wants and needs. A lovely blend of FL and more ergonmic stylings. It looks like a new corsair ship not like one they dusted off out of the cupboard. Regardless of the stats give it a good infocard. Make it sparkle.

Great work.

AUTHOR'S UPDATE

Yup I now agree that 6 class 10's is overkill. So let's stop discussing that. I also trashed the turret idea. The weapon system i'm going to deliver is going to be 6x Class-9. The agility i'm going to deliver is same as falcon. All the rest (bats/nanos/cargo etc) should be same or really similar to centurion as well. As far as can see, what I'm going to deliver is basically a centurion with beefed up maneuverability and a minor weapon upgrade to set a bit more difference from the Centurion. What the dev team decide to do for balancing it's up to them and I'll respect and support their decision.

Now that that's out of the way.

I got her in a test flight in-game (in SP ofc) to see how she handles, if all is well aligned and stuff. Currently I didn't make her a unique vessel, but rather replaced the centurion model for now. The HP's all work properly and are alligned:D(boring work though). The only thing i'm sure is fine but doesn't work for now is one of the running lights that has a hardpoint but the centurion inis and all that don't factor that one, so you can't see it work yet. All the rest.. works. The collision used was also the centurion for now.

The current TO DO list goes as follows:
*LOD issue - Ship disapears when a bit far away from camera.
*Ship destructable parts / openable cargo bay hatch
*SURs
*INIs and the whole make her a unique ship in game isntead of replacing the centurion

Have to check how to solve that now. In the meantime. Screenies for the peeps.




Hope you like it.

Nice addition to Corsair line, keep it up. Destructable parts are nice addition, but since there is 80% chance that model hitboxes are gonna be merged in singular piece to balance them with new ships it is not a necessity. Opening hatch would be awesome on the other hand.

Also, try leaving gun loadout to balance team, because they are deciding it in the end.

*Ship destructable parts / openable cargo bay hatch

Umm.. Wait.. You can make it vanilla like? With destructible parts?

I would like to echo Del in saying it looks positively Freelancer-ish, and positively fresh.

I think we have another modeler that played with legos as a kid. Sometimes you make something and step back and just astound yourself from what you could make with existing pieces.

I sincerely hope the Gladiator becomes just as iconic as the Praetorian is now. Good work mate. :cool:

"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."

I personally don't like the looks that much.... but ok

If people like it, it can replace the current centurion (which is getting upped in turning). But I don't want it to have VHF-like stats... cause all corsairs will simply stop using the Titan => Corsairs will loose their "character".

Also without one-hit nuke kills Titan will be quite good.. while different.
