ONS-SpaceBattle needs some custom vehicle ideas.

[legacy-sI_Dj_:p]

I put together a small group of people to make a space onslaught map. We have the basic layout, but since it is in space, normal vehicles will not work. So I want to make different types of space fighters for the map. My ideas are based my favorite space series : Homeworld. I want to replace all the standard vehicles with different classes of space ships. This is what I came up with.

Fighter - 1 person, fast
Corvette - 2 person : 1 driver with basic fire, passenger with stronger turrent fire.
Gunboat - 4 person : 1 driver no weapons, 3 passenger turrents equally disribute the firing arc
Dropship - ?? people. 1 driver and one gunner, the rest are passengers.

Any other ideas, designs, stats, I would gladly accept any, and of course, credit will be given for ideas.

this would rock,
you could make two huge ships that fly around each other and then the battle is in between them

i think those ideas are all good vehicles, maybe a missile boat, and i think you should have a cruiser, thats like a mobile base that can spawn two fighters in the back, and it acts as a spawning point.

You could have two big ships with the power cores on them and players have to land in the enemy ship to destroy power core, or maybe a deathstar type thing(fly through tunnels to get to core?)

Vehicles sound pretty good!

When will you have a Beta?

or a missle base that floats in space that you can dock with and a bomber of some kind to attack slower ships.:cool:

My unfinished models: Stinger Heavy starfighter[ http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=379446 ] My locus personel carrier, and my yet unnamed kamakazie fighters are some good choices:D

looking good 717
hows the map coming sI_Dj_:p ??

Beam Cannon Frigate

Kind of like a REALLY big link gun that you fly around in

Turns very slow, but if it lines up with its target.... POW!! does VERY HIGH damage...




What about that idea??? :confused:

[legacy-Pyrotechnic]

Something like this (http://www.freewebs.com/pyroteknik/unreal/SF.JPG) ? Don't have a size yet, could be a small fighter or a large bomber.

I'm working on an ONS Homeworld map, I would really appreciate some Homeworld vehicles.

I'm looking for people to work with me to create a space mod. I've already begun coding on it. You can check it out along with screenshots by clicking on the Dark Frontier link below.

Might be able to find a home for it as a new tank?

[legacy-sI_Dj_:p]

I'm going to post something in the User Maps topic soon.

CMAN - I guess, that is if it flys in space :)

Papr_Weezl8472 - cool, when I'm finished making and coding them I could send you the stuff to use.

Pyrotechnic - not homeworld enough :) but its a good space design. Looks like a bomber to me.

Thanks for the support and all, I think I'll reward you with a fighter design I'm working on, not sure if I want to use it or not. I want your feedback.

This is the fast fighter class. Two small disrupters (similar to raptor) and fast. Don't forget the really cool Homeworld exaust trail. :)

What do you think? Good/bad/less detail/more detail. I'm all ears.

BTW if anyone wants to have a model in it. It should be homeworld-ish. Search for it if you don't know how it looks like.

[legacy-Pyrotechnic]

Looks good, I might just have to re-install Homeworld1, and maybe buy Homeworld2.

[legacy-sI_Dj_:p]

I don't really know about the fighter design. I'm going to post some variations on it. If anyone as any ideas I would love them.

Here is a "Kushan" influenced fighter. I think I like this one more then the other one. I'm still working on it. I just wanted to show you my progress. The weapon is a dual chaingun like laser. ( The two barrels on the wing.)

If anyone is curious, this is a Taiidan ship (one of the two races, and my favorate race, and eventually is the evil one :) )

And this is a Kushan Ship

Those are some sweet looking vehicles, but the coolest Homeworld vehicle is definetly the Taiidani Scout! :D
