small dropship

<< < (2/6) > >>

Noordung:
changed cockpit and landing gear area. reduced trits from 2000 to 1700. showing where light weapons could be.

cevaralien:
Dude, how many soldiers will transport this aircraft?

Noordung:
12 i guess ;D
probably 0 becouse dont think it will ever serve as a transport. there may be some chance we could see it as military transport in same maps if someome will do it. becouse didnt see much new stuff lately... (maps, models...)

there is 6x2 titles of space inside. doors are 2 wide. so probably 8 soliders.

ShipIt:

I still want to replace the Raptor armed dropship in our maps. And if someone provides a model that fits our needs, this is not a huge deal. So there is no reason to be that pessimistic.  ;) The biggest problem with our models is texturing most of the time. But if the model itself is good enough, we may decide to just put it in and hope for somebody to step up and do a good texture for it some day.

OC, the Raptor uses alien technologie, and the model is expected to show this. Also, it needs to carry ten soldiers.

For your model, I think it already looks very good. Showing the weapons this detailed is not good imo, because the equipment may change. So I think a more subitle weapon bay may be in order. Did you check how much tris the other dropship models have? Imo yours could take some more details here and there.

My only concern from your pics right now is that it looks much like a Firebird II.

Noordung:
i think Mattn already put new raptor model to datasource http://ufoai.org/forum/index.php/topic,8582.45.html
if you dont like it i can change it just tell me what to change it.

about this small dropship. those are lasers and not detailed weapons, just showing where wapons could be placed. puting weapons in weapon bay is good idea. just have to think a little where to put it. where can i see this firebird II? never saw it before.

when you say need space for 10 soliders... if UGVs will eventualy be used than more space will be needed in cargo holds. so anyone who decides to make new model should think about that.


i also think we could have more aircraft types. now we have saracen and stiletto that are more or less museum exponats. (since there was no armed confilct for about 50 years and no need for new weapons) maybe as soon as we start playing we could be informed that our scientists found out about some advanced unfinished military projects for advanced aircrafts. we could finish those prijects upgraded with 2084 technology (mostly civilian) but changed to be used in military. i like how firebird stated its got pulse jet. maybe also changing some descriptions so we could add more of this for now mostly theoretical technologies. maybe even put those ideas to new topic.
just for start here is one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayaks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPD_thruster
