Right now it's a Hecate, the proper Tiigran capships don't fly yet. The ships using these weapons will range from mile long Frigates with 2 turrets, 2 guns each to 2 mile long battleships, with 6 turrets, 3 guns each. These guns are the equivalent of big beams on GTVA and Shivan ships.

I like the particles on detonation.  Much better than just a huge flat explosion animation.

[BengalTiger]

So since you liked the particle detonations....

Watch this....!

And note to those with access to the super-secret forum: the weapon is now uploaded (first real update in a looong time....)

Looks cool .

Time for a little something here. Actually, at just under 68 meters in length it's not too little.

T-MB Clibanarius, still WIP:







This will be a what they call a 'strategic bomber'. The upper missile tubes will contain bombs that are unique to this ship class. These bombs will also be used as multiple warheads inside cruise missiles, but more on that later.

BTW- orange text looked better on a really dark background IMHO...

Well stop posting in it until the old theme is back!

Alright...

Glad to see more models from ToT! I can't wait to play around with their capships...

[BengalTiger]

I'll be working on them pretty soon (within the next few weeks or so).

BTW- Any team members still active? If yes, then I'd post a little something on the super secret forum.

Happy New Year

Sweet, you got the capships ingame.  On a different note, you're still using that crappy five-minute hack job png I made for the konkerz? Ugh, if I ever start making effects agian I'll have to fix that.

[BengalTiger]

You're more than welcome to come back to the team.
Sometimes it sucks to work alone.

BTW- I have only about 1 strike craft, a gunship, that I'm redoing (the original model was a bit too much of a hack job), then I'll finally get working on the rest of the capships.
When they're mostly done, I'll be hiring (rehiring) FREDders and others.

Update:
New effects for the Bardiche Flak gun.
The shrapnel does damage if it hits, so it's not only there for eye candy.

Also- there's a few more posts with pictures in the freespacemods thread from the previous post in case anyone missed it...

A firework weapon!

Reminds me of the time I messed around trying to make a weapon look like fireworks. Yours is much better, though. Good work.

lvlshot@800x600?
Would that really be needed?

Also- I wasn't aiming for fireworks, just a projectile that explodes into lots of smoking shrapnel, kinda like this...

P.S. I could brew up something with multiple colored trails from the shrapnel to make a proper firework if anyone needs one though.

The flak projectiles show up a French type of grenades named as "Katetche" .....a really very effective and brutal projectile. May be it´s the answer to the accuracy of the Shivans.

I can't find anything that's called a "Katetche". 

[MatthTheGeek]

Me neither, and I'm French. That definitely doesn't sound French.
