I know this may sound needy...
« on: March 09, 2012, 06:41:33 PM »

But if anyone has any spare time not working on their own mods and what not, if some could make me a ship, basically what I want is 2 Astral carriers merged into where the two small missile spots are, I just really want a super carrier doesn't need to have missile slots though.

i really do not know how to mod this game other than changing like ordinance points or speed.

So, you want a ship that looks like the astral but without the missile slots?

Or do you want a symmetrical ship mirrored from the side of the astral without the missile slots?

The first I can do, the later I can't.. I'm no Sprite artist and I wouldn't know where to begin.. Also don't have the programs.

It looks good indeed... :o

Some feedback.

The mirroring of the Astral makes the two bottom center PD mount somewhat redundant, it would be beneficial to cut them off.
Invert the guidance lights (port-starboard) on the left flight deck.
The mirrored area between the two flight decks above the bridge seems somewhat out of place. Replacing that with hull plating would do that area more justice I think.

Keep the goodness coming, cheers... :)

Couldn't resist, made the changes myself...XD



1. Correct navigation lights.
2. removed the two redundant small PD slots.
3. removed the superstructure above the bridge.

For extra absurdness, another flight deck was added... ;D

The sprite

Agreed.  :)

Nice that these sprites look pretty good no matter what you do with them, haha.

i figured out its name... the Double D  if you dont get it.. just look at the sprite longer.

also added a flight deck.. so... 5 then as the one on the side was lost in the merging LOL.

and it does look good but OMG talk about a huge blind spot for weapons coverage in the front LOL kamikaze anyone.

You won't be able to refit fighters and bombers at all. They're designed/balanced around having a particular set of weapons and would be very broken if you could change it. Which ones you pick for your fleet -out of quite a few that are available- is the choice here, not how they're outfitted.

I figured it has to have a weakness, but its meant to be super support for fighter wings, I think it fights perfectly, a super carrier so to speak.
