Description This is my first attempt at a AFF inspired craft. Of my own design this craft is best suited for the ULP although it was not origionally built for the ULP, but just as a test. It still has to be Unwrapped and textured, which will account for a lot of the detail. Made in 3dsmax8 and is at 2046 (tri) / 1086 (poly). The texture will be 512px Square. This is the basic colour scheme, but things will change depending on wether or not it can fit into a part of the AFF. If it isnt i will take the texture to new levels of funky sci-fi detail. Thank the heavens for HULLGEN!!!tm


[ TECHNICAL ]

Name: ULP H.igh V.elocity O.rbital S.urveillance (HVOS)
Type: Fast Surveillance drone
Length: 7m
Mass: 850 ton(s)
Generator:
2x Foyer-TCI ALR2320 Plasma-Jet Engine
1x Fiver-VIII Hi-Performance Plasma Injection Engine
Crew: 0
Armament:
Energy
1x TCI EZ-6 Light Particle Cannon
3x Godsfire-L Micro-Plasma Cannon Turrets

[ DESCRIPTION ]

This small unmanned surveillance drone is extremely fast and has been created for Atmospheric entry and exit to get data from the planets surface itself. This craft has 3 generators to push the craft at immense speeds and although it has next to no armour or shielding, its speed and fast manoeuvres ensure its tactical information returns. Although small, its weapons can attack critical points in defences and allow larger ships to take advantage of weaknesses. Although fast and very manoeuvrable it has a slow acceleration rate and with all the mass for such a small craft also has trouble decelerating quickly. The weapons have been cut down to include more generators and increase the overall speed beyond anything else. The three generators also mean that this craft can be expensive to build and it quite often is not as stable as other drones. To lighten the amount of mass the frame is not as strong as it should be and stress in acceleration, deceleration and high speed turning can occasionally cause the craft to destabilise, explode or be pulled apart.

Looks nice! As was said earlier, the hull could use a bit more texture, no one wants their Surveillance crafts to be all shiny and attention grabbing

I like the thought you put into the descrip also. If the ULP were to build an unmanned craft, it would be heavy and big, like this, 'cause that's pretty much how the ULP does things

hey, Phifty? its not textured at all....
thats not what it will look like finished, thats just the basic colour scheme.
im hoping after it is unwrapped, that Stranj or FC will texture it for me, cause im hopeless with textures...

Dude, you have done an awsome job... Maybe it isnt inteded, but it reminds me of some sort of hightech gadget from the Ratchet and Clank games!

It wasnt intendended, but im happy to have accedentially created something that resembles ratchet and clank. that game is awsome!

Adalbertus [2006-04-30 13:09:55 +0000 UTC]

looks nice, but it could use some textures on the hull.
And isn't it a little bit too heavy? I mean 850 tons... it's almost 5 Jumbo Jets
Just a thought

Cevius In reply to Adalbertus [2006-04-30 13:45:08 +0000 UTC]

Its not finished. I did say that in the comment underneath it. The wieght is because of the engines. the engines use a very heavy technology and usually for a craft this size one of the engines is appropriate. I just wanted overkill

very nice, the engines are very kool
there is no distintive cockpit
and stuf
is this the final version, i'd love to seee it in a roper rendering

rthats all my critique

Cevius In reply to FreeJ [2006-04-28 15:24:44 +0000 UTC]

hmm. prehapes you failed to read what i wrote. DRONES dont need pilots. they are just programs. This is the final version of the mesh. but the texture will take me a week. at least. Its a game model and not a very importiant one so polys must be low. actually they should be even lower.
