I LOVE IT

I wanted to make a dropship but lacked the proper skills to make one although I could have a pretty good go at making a model, I would be clueless on how to skin it and code it. Anyway please make it carry vehicles for that is what all dropships should do otherwise it would just be a glorified flying APC.

Also about the Rhinocerous (sp) why not have it shortened to just the Rhino? It'd be a shorter snappier name plus it's been the name of other APCs.

That thing is great! keep up the good work :up:

[legacy-VisualBinary]

those are kick *** models!

A drop ship would be cool. When used with the chute mutator. Fly over the node and have a few people jump out and parachute down safely. I found the chute mutator through beyond unreal and it works great when your raptor starts running low on armor and you have to bail out.

So when are these vehicles going to be available?

could it be easier to some how get the drop ship from the fallen city assult mission and make it play able? just a thought

I just thaught it might be cool if you lowered the dropships armoutr and damage for the gun turret but increased it's fire rate so it could act as an antimissile defense.

That sounds like a great idea to me. Gives the gunner(s) something to do, and keeps the vehicle almost certainly transport oriented. Hope LegionaireJoe likes the idea

Looks really cool, and yeah it's gonna rock with chute mod . Just curious, joe, do you plan on releasing a map to go along with the vechs or are you just going to release the vehicles?

great work!

I love it!

I love the idea of a dropship i was just talking with a frien about the idea of making one, but as i saw yours i think that will be no use Are you working with 3sdMax?? Have you already started to map the dropship? I would really like to see it finished and textured and so on!
Keep up the good work, and drop me a line if you need someone to help in max. Im working with it every day

cheers

Howabout you put a 3-5 second 'powerup' delay before takeoff to stop newbs running off with it and still leaving it usefull (as well as adding nifty 'balancing' features and general coolness)

Good point that would slow it down. But what if you landed it buy an enemy node or the enemy stated swarming the area of the vehicle and you needed it to get way or some other use then your screwed because it will not take off fast enough. So you kind of doomed if you do and doomed if you don’t because in that same situation with out the limited start a newb could take off and leave others to die.
so if you made it really heavy like to leviathan it would slow it down and give it thick armor

guess what

i know epic most likely stole the bike idea from the airpower2 mod for 2k3 i found the airpower mod bike mesh in the static mesh folder of 2k4 with install so the vehicles were not totally their idea i wonder when the battle ship mod for 2k4 will be out i talked to the makers of the ap2 mod and they are makeing a mod that will add giant battle ships to the field expect assloads of destruction!

the AP2 mod used epic models, not the other way around (They werre in 2k3 too)
