The Abyssal Maw - Start

Hey Olo, I know you've got a lot on your plate(Solaris, BrikSpace, This), but when you get the time, could you sprite some form of missile barge for the Kan'athaans?

Sure, can do.

I'll do that now. I have the Reaver Frigate done.

(click on the pic, it'll take you to a clearer version of it).

Thanks. The reaver ship looks sweet, but I think your link is off. When I click it, it sends me to filesmelt.

420th POST!

Is that the only ship you'll be wanting, LtObvious?

(try again)

Hmm... A carrier would be nice.

Missile Barge and Carrier for the Kan'athaanian war machine, coming up.

Got a Flagship done for Nevindar's forces:

You mean bright white, or a sort of very light gray? It's an important distinction.

which ever looks best in sprite.

also i was thinking about ship ratio's etc and i was hoping to have battleships as my main force a carrier ( http://www.shipschematics.net/yamato/im ... hinano.jpg ) and my flagship.

Why the hell would a spacegoing fighter carrier have a landing deck?

Olothontor, could you make my ship a bit smaller please? I think it works better as a frigate. Thanks.

As for ships, I would like a large number of frigates and destroyers, with one larger carrier type ship.

True, but that thing was at least enclosed

Post by **Warhead** » Sun Sep 06, 2009 8:37 am

True but who's to say they all should be. Personally I would prefer it enclosed too but I recall when I made my first carrier I made it with a flattop flight deck too.

Besides, Dilanski seems to be following a favoured design from some sort of popular sci-fi so it's kind of pointless ribbing him about it when it's designed by someone else... and looks pretty cool. Just saying.

I'll go ahead and presume everyone wants carriers.

As for the 'problem' with dilanski's carrier, it gives it character, and certainly fits the theme. Besides, this is a purely fantastical game, there's no reason for logic to come into play, especially if the final result without logic looks cool.

Now, that all kinda depends on me, but... we'll see what happens.

It does look cool, pointless, but cool. I just find it kind of funny when I picture a bunch of people in space suits on top of a giant, flat flight deck. There's nothing wrong with it, it just seems a bit impractical is all.

Post by **Olothontor** » Sun Sep 06, 2009 9:01 am

It is very impractical, but it's also kind of impractical on sea, if you think about it too hard.

I believe the case is closed. If you all would really like, I'll see if I can't sprite two versions of the ship; one with flight deck and one without.
