It was... Wing Commander 1 Secret Mission. But back then it was just a scaled up exeter...

I see. The Gettysburg does sort of look like an Exeter. I guess they did not have enough space at the time for a Gettysburg.
 
apart from that, it was an ega sprite. if you flew closer than about 200 meters (600ft) the pixels became the size of boulders.
there wasn't a lot of actual detail in there. and it's supposed to be a battleship/dreadnaught after all, and this getty version sure looks like one with the mass of big turrets
 
Remember people, the Gettysburg class is supposed to be a large cruiser, rather then a battleship or dreadnought. It's stated as a cruiser in the games, but was larger then the Tiger's Claw. Maybe the appropriate term would be supercruiser or battlecruiser?

Also, this is more of a "it could have been this" design rather then something that's set in stone. That's what Lynx had in mind when he designed the ship; he deliberately gave it a WC1 look and gave it a very Exeter-like appearance.
 
well, WC:T will feature some original ships anyway, so you could say that the getty is kinda...half-original.
and you have to admit those triple turrets make it look EXACTLY like a ww2 battleship.
the only funny thing is that i chose the getty because i wanted to start with a canon ship :D

You should not add non-canon ships to the mod... The last time someone started to mess with canon things went straight to hell. If you *must* add non canon ships, at least you should make a "purist"(canon only) version as well...
 
well, the problem is that there are some slots which the nexus game physics really require to have, like heavy bombers, but bombers only showed up in wc2. however, both the broadsword and a kilrathi counterpart will be in the mod. also, the kilrathi don't have a frigate. i won't be replacing anything that is canon, at least it isn't planned that way
 
I don't think it would mess with established canon if you mix WC1 and WC2... I think most of the ships were around at the same time. But then you might want to set the date to WC2 era. But Loaf knows alot more about this than me...
