The subject line requires this: Not so much a 'worst mission', but any time in WC2 I would hear/see the word 'Asteroids' would set me shuddering. For some reason in WC1 they were easier to navigate, in WC2 it just seemed that rocks would pop up out of nowhere. Of course in later games...

I guess that's what I was getting at. Why would you make modifications that are already built into the original design?

I'm confused... is your Exeter being modified by the Carrier fleet? If so, I'd imagine they wouldn't want to strip off any armament whatsoever, given they already have an operational carrier. They would likely want it it replace the lost destroyer. If not, why do you need to modify it at all...

Lest we forget Star Giants...

I might not be remembering correctly, but weren't there a couple of WC2 SM missions where you flew off the Bonnie Heather? That would be as you described...

I imagine if you end up changing the superstructure you would invent a new class name, but if you're just reconfiguring the internal space to add hangar facilities (as Ijuin mentions above) it could just be a modified Exeter variant. That's where I would draw the line. Although removing...

This is what I thought of too... some ships had catapults mounted perpendicular to the hull, and they would launch sideways.

Uh oh, I'm sensing another hideous Paradigm thread on the horizon... From the Exeter Database entry: The destroyers carry a single squadron of eighteen light and medium fighters I always assume that most capital ships have some sort of hangar bay for transferring supplies & crew, like a...

I'm really hoping something like this might be the case. Like these guys from Quest for Glory:

Down to the armour plate on the shoulder, complete with red painted insignia. There is something a little Giger-esque around the head yes. But pretty much every alien monster is trying to rip off Giger's aliens to some degree. I do wish they weren't so... bipedal, though. There is probably...

I never know if this is off-topic or not... Anyone else think the Vanduul (read: Vandal... in the classical sense) is more than a little Kilrathi-esque? The newest concept art shows some more details - feline facial features, fur, claws... by themselves hardly unreasonable for a sci-fi alien...

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!

I would also be interested to know how much it might cost for a larger model... I'm guessing you'd have to print up multiple pieces and put it together like an old-school model set.

Really, really nice dude. Your lighting rig is ace.

Probably hadn't finished paladin's animatronics at the time the trailer was made. Budget constraints.

Commenting on a much older post, I would really enjoy playing a support/sar role. Speaking as someone who played medic in tf2 for years... I got a kick out of being thanked for stuff online occasionally, in between being screamed at by 14 yr olds for not über-ing them all the time.

Or buy them on GOG :)

You've totally inspired me to go back and complete Privateer and RF with the Tarsus. In the past I have breathed a huge sigh of relief when I finally had enough credits to buy a better ship, but now I'm going to go for that nostalgic feeling!

So this extra $$$ being pledged... Think some of that might be shunted off toward creating collectables? I.e model ships, figurines etc... Just sayin I'd be all over that like a bad rash. Plus it could be profitable!

By gondola idea, you mean the cockpit is located on the underside? Right where the long nose intersects the wings? Great! I always thought that was how it was supposed to be, with the idea that the nose was packed with ordinance etc. etc.
