Vesuvious(SP?) Ships

[Knight]

Well, here's some clairification for those who were wondering how many Ves classes were left in service. I clipped this from the opening scenes in SO when I was playing it today.

There's two there, and they're not the fake ones like I posted last time

These are from the CGi cutscenes. and BTW, my guess is one's the Eisen and the other's the St Helens.

Actually, that only shows that there are two at that location. There may very well be more. It does however support the idea that Confed did not stop making the Vesuvius class after the first 2 ships that we saw in WCIV.

One of them is most certainly the McKinley, which was there to welcome the Midway home.

I know it only shows two. I said some clarification. I didn't say full clarification. I know there's more.

And LOAF, if one's the McKinley, then wouldn't that have one assuming the other's the Eisen, since it would've arrived only before the Midway, if not at the same time, since it too, had some battle damage (though certainly not as severe) like the Midway? I forgot about the McKinley. Only names I could remember were the St. Helens and the Eisen.

I keep forgetting all the details

Sorry, but if it was the Eisen, then it would be accompanied by the rest of its strike group. I'll have to take another look at that cutscene, but personally I reckon it's the St. Helens, and as LOAF already said, the McKinley.

 

[Knight]

Well, also clearly visible were 2 Plunketts, and a couple of Pelicans if I'm not mistaken (not sure, this could've been in another cutscene, I made it clear to Kreiger before I stopped.) But I do remember the 2 Plunketts and another ship or two.

All right, ye little scamp, what the heck is going on here? Knight, I had another look at the SO intro, and I didn't see a single Vesuvius.
In the scene where depicted on your screenshot, all I see are two Pelican transports and a few other ships fluttering past. The funny thing about those Pelican transports is that they're positioned exactly the same way that those two Vesuvii of yours. Hmm...

All in all, I might just kill you now.

 

[Knight]

Uh...hehe...guys...hehe.....Um.....uh....that's not an entirely true picture

I forgot that my SO Ship editor still have the ves and the pelicans switched. Actually, I remembered it, but I didn't think it would've affected the cutscenes. You can delete this post now. Sorry

What's got me is that LOAF didn't catch it

Was yesterday one of your off days LOAF?

Hey, I'm surprised I didn't catch it right off. I mean, why in hell would two Vesuvii be that close together?

...Just ye wait, though!

 

[Bandit LOAF]

Ptth, I'm suffering at 14.4, I didn't even load the image -- I assumed that when you said "they're not fake" that you'd actually found something.

 

[Twister]

i saw it right away....but i've been replaying SO recently


ps

it's a cool img though
