Title: Something wierd...USS Orthos, Gemini-Class Starship :)
Post by: Azel on July 18, 2003, 03:31:59 pm
OK...
This is something that will mess with your head...The mesh is new...but the Textures are from some of my other Fed ships

The shape has haunted me for a while now(about 10-12 years)...But I wanted to see it come to some kind of fruition
So I guess it is kinda a kitbashes...but not meshwise...just canibalizing textures

Hope you like some aspect of her

 
 
 
 
 
 

Hear is the Zip if anyone wants her...wor wants to tweak her to their liking

A Very unorthidox design, but id expect nothing else from Atolm
It looks cool as hell...i look forward to blowing her up using the Hellions.

I like it!!

One thought though, not a complaint or anything...how about lengthen the 2ndary hull a little...then she can be a new "Hammerhead" class?

Has anyone made a class for the Feds that is called "Hammerhead"? - was wondering that yesterday, how peculiar!

BUMP!

Is this an Andorian or Vulcan design for the Feds?

A+ for originality!

Qapla!

Too weird for you?!? LOL, that's hard to believe...you have some strange (but very cool) designs.

Awww, you know I will get around to doing yours soon!
I seem to have taken on more than I can handle atm, making a Nemesis Yard for Viper/MP2, texturing one or two ships for Mackie, doing the textures for Formo's Norway...oooh yeah and the Nightsoft model that I was making that I can't even remember the name of because I haven't touched it in so long!....*tries hard to remember* - the D'Varan!

I wish I could just do models and textures all day long, but alas, there is work to be done...gotta get up in umm, 5.5 standard Terran hours!

If you put a third saucer on it, you could call it the Porthos class and it could be used to guard the Wormhole or some other such dimensional gateway so that no more purple cockroach ships come over to the Alpha Quadrant!  So you've got to load it up with hardpoints so that the Shapeless Ones can't sneer, "It's bark is worse than it's bite!"

hmm-at 1st I honestly didn't like it. The design aspect I mean.  But I keep checking it out and its growing on me.   Maybe its so different I need time to digest it  

It definitly pushes the envelope, at that is always a good thing.  The original enterprise must have looked pretty far out at 1st look, back in the 60's. But someone decided to use it as the model for TOS  at thus it became canon.  Then everyone kinda jumped on the bandwagon, so from then all an ST ship had to have a round saucer and 2 warp drives. Then the saucer became an elipse. Really not to radical over 40 years or so of ST ship design.  This is kinda refreshing like the sensation you get from biting into a York peppermint pattie

Can't wait!! BTW, how are you going to hp it? Doesn't seem to fit anything ingame, and I can see it having alot of weapons. Looks like it could take on a Klink DN or BB and hardly break a sweat. In other words, I want it, I want it, I want it.
