Some of you might have noticed the S:AAB stuff I've been posting lately. The old S:AB TC thread I started a while back had me encouraged, but given the (at best) mixed responses I've had so far, I'm posting this poll. Hell, I'd make this thing even if I was the only one who was going to play it - I like splashing Chigs. But are you lot interested, or shall I stop bothering to post piccies around here?

[SKYNET-011]

Yay! S:AAB!

Never watched the show, so I voted as I have no frame of reference, but mods are always good

[Knight Templar]

The show looks intresting enough. It's a shame I don't have sci-fi. But if you can make the conversion and a nice campaign to show people what S:AAB is all about and use the proper name, turrets (find a different way to childishly-spite Zylon without ****ing the english language on purpose) then I'd gladly play it.

[Grey Wolf]

I would vote, but I no longer have the mental capacity to do anything beyond converting missions from FS1 to FS2.

[Stunaep]

I'd prolly wuv S:AAB, but  having never seen it, it's like cyberdating. You knever know how much the other person weighs.

[Liberator]

S:AAB r0x0rs!!

Most of the stuff you've been posting looks good.  Don't let the uncultured heathen, who don't know the difference between Sgt. Bougus and Lt. Damphouse, tell you otherwise.

Incidentally, I'm guessing it was Razor_Blade who voted

I'm really happy this is finally coming to pass, great work DG!

This is what go me interested in editing freespace in the first place. any luck putting together an ISSAPC? i searched and searched but couldn’t find a suitable mesh, and my modelling skills aren't that great.

[Nico]

I'm all for it
I wish you good luck ( but you should post more "appealing" ships, like the hammerhead or the chig fighter, you'd have more positive replies I believe ).

[kasperl]

yay, S:AAB

[J3Vr6]

I loved Space Above and Beyond.  That show was actually the reason I bought Freespace.  I used to watch that show and got the urge to want to play a space sim.  Wing Commander just didn't cut it for me (compared to FS, the graphics sucked).

I'm all for a S:AAB total conversion!  I remember the asteroid field battles (I think from the first few episodes) and always wondered why they never ran out of ammo...

If you are gonna make a conversion, make sure the ships can slide just like in the show.


Go Nipple Necks!

The ISSCV is currently a seperate unit, so the two have to be docked, but I'll prolly try and make a composite version as well.

[EDIT] Textures are dodgy due to modelview as much as me. In-game, they're at least aligned properly

[Star Dragon]

Hoooorah!

Digging out the cd's now... I gotta record those wonderful quotes ("Bummer getting your butt kicked by a dead guy")...

You got to love this guy, DG are we aware there is a Homeworld S:AAB total conversion, some collaboration with them might help we with textures and such.

They're at  http://www.tgu.org.uk/users/saab/saab/saabhome.htm

Of course they might not help at all but I dosen't hurt to ask I guess.

Hehe, in fact I have seen those before. Just this morning I was looking at at the destroyer and missile boat to see if they'd make good POFs. Unfortuantely, they were each in excess of 13'000 polys, almost ten times too detailed if I remember my POF rules correctly. Even deleting the stuff like radar dishes and antenae didn't help - just the basic hull sections are covered with greebles and stuff.

Anywho, I will need those two guys making at some point, so if anyone feels up to the challenge...

And thanks for the encouragement

[Nico]

at the lancer reactor, for the fighters at least, they have very cool ( real time, not your ubber high poly one ) models of all the fighters and alike, you should ask there

[Mr Carrot]

someone needs to record that Wang pisstake of McQueen:

"Im here to fix your faucet... its going to be a real knife fight so watch your six" etc.

[diamondgeezer]

Ah, you'll be wanting to read a few of these, then

[J.F.K.]

I say

Nice poll style, btw
