Shipset Idea

Rich04 · #1 March 30th, 2001, 09:48 PM

Several people have thought the idea of a ship set based on Space Above & Beyond would be cool if it had enough ships.

My solution based on a rpg game I'm running is to mix similar looking ship styles from three different sources.

They are SAAB, Aliens, and Starship Troopers (Both movie and cgi series).

The Saratoga, Nostromo, Sulaco, Rodger Young, Hammerheads, Cheyenne Dropships, ISSCVs, Various groundtroops, and many others.

Lots of Online sources.

Would anybody be interested in doing a shipset? I for one would love to see it. (I'm graphically impaired

)

Actually that's a pretty good solution. I'm not much of an artist, but I can do a fair bit of editing given a picture to work with. Unfortunately I probably wouldn't be able to start for at least a month or so and possibly not until this summer.

I had an idea for a ship set based upon our current navy ships. However, I couldn't find any TOP down or 3d images of current naval ships and fighters. Kinda disappointed me. (any one remember Star Blazers?)

There are three sets from Star Blazers in the mod section, they are quite good. The Gamilons have givin me a run for my money a few times

If you can't find them I could upload them for you, or 'Lion of High Park' (or something like that) probally could, as he is the author (his space 1999 shipset ROCKS!).

Oh yeah, and for naval ships try: battleship.org./html/Photos/Gallery.htm
or warships1.com/US_cruisers.htm

the images may not be 3d modelled but I'm sure they could be used for something, like most of the trek ships are taken from movie pics etc.
hope this helps....

Thanks muchly, Deathstalker. Right now my Moon Base Alpha forces are in a full out war with the White Comet Empire. Fleets of missile armed Eagles battling it out with Cometine ships. Nifty.

Atrocities, the three Star Blazers shipsets should still be under the mods directory, but may be back a page or so after the more recent postings. (And yes, the Earth Defense Force ships look just like flying naval warships.)

Cheers

Nice Space 1999 ships. I remember a Walkie Talkie toy I had growing up that looked like the communicators they used on the show.

I'm pretty pumped. My local video rental store has a couple of the Star Blazers video tapes available for rental. Thank you for the Star Blazer shipset.
