Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous - Kickstarter!

Oh. My. God.

Just happened to look at the Frontier forums and stumbled over link to the official kickstarter.

Talk about making my day!

Pledged! Well attempting to pledge but it's not working for me :(

Re: Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy

Firstly, a smaller Perenties -class escort carrier besides a Komodo -class fleet carrier. The escort carrier is about 530m long, with a single prow-facing docking bay. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-Nukette/th_carriers.png First of all, sorry for my late reply. Unfortunately RL is busy,...

Re: Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy

That's what I thought at first too, but I've since noticed Griff's mention of the model intended for Elite 2 here after some more google searching on it.

Also something maybe of interest, the Red Arrows aerobatic display team first flew in Gnat's.

It's not officially a core ship... but it is an original Bell & Braben design...

Re: Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy

If you wanted a symbol to represent the eight octants, then an octagon (of whichever colour/background) might be an idea too. An octagon might look a bit too much like a Thargoid for the Navy's liking.. :mrgreen: An octagon with a big red X over it maybe? Hehe Ha, that could be the symbol for the O...

Re: Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy

Hey guys. Couple of possible suggestions for a flag for Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-Nukette/starflag.png http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-Nukette/crownflag.png The eight red and blue rectangles representing, of course, the Eight charts.

Re: Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy

Another possible version for a Komodo-Class Fleet Carrier: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-Nukette/komodo5.png This design is about 1055m in length - if you discount the sensor antennaes at the prow, 885m. Also, a thought regarding Asp Mk II's. From the original Elite Jane's Guide, 'Inte...

Re: Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy

While I like your design, this is really much to big for what I have in mind. I haven't made my mind up yet, but something the size (or slightly larger) than the current Behemoth is probably closer to the mark. I have thought of a design with a side launching port on either side at the bow and a si...

Re: Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy

No fine, but you'll have to do Carruther's paperwork for a month. Or, if you have a cloaking device, you can opt to have that confiscated instead. The later option is supposedly the better choice!

Re: Tankers

Thinking about splitting up in dockable entities: Very unrealistic to allow anything big filled up fully with quirium to enter the dock. Much to dangerous. In the real world, you would manouvre alongside the station and transphere the quirium through a pipeline. Quirium is supposedly processed from...

Re: Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy

Thanks guys, but can't claim much of the credit for the shape, inspired as it was by this lego microscale space carrier. :) Anyhow, I have integrated a third aft-facing dock into the Komodo Fleet Carrier. Its current size is just shy of 2.5km in length, with 'standard' 192x64 meter docking ports. ht...

Yep, thought I'd try something able to use 1.77's ability to utilize multiple docks :)

Hi guys. I'd like to offer a 3d model I've been working on for a new HIMSN carrier, the Komodo Class.

Re: Stranglehold - a Captain Hesperus adventure

A much enjoyed read. Thanks for this entertaining ride through a few days in the crazy life of the grey-furred feline captain Hesperus.
