Oolite Bulletins

I found the awe-inspiring Millenium Falcon and the Star Destroyer and other cool ships which have been imported from "other realities" to Oolite.

And with so many incredibly talented shipbuilders in the Ooniverse, I thought I might dare to start a new topic: a ship wishlist, where one can make suggestions for ships which one would like to see brought to the game! And, with some luck, one of the masters of ship building thinks "hey, good idea, I'll create that!" - and we get more ships!!

So here are two ships that I think would be cool to have inside the Ooniverse:

The Comet - from Captain Future


More images can be found here or on the web.

From http://www.rz-journal.de/Film-RZs/Futures_comet.jpg I learned that the Comet has the following specs:

• length: 200m
• diameter of front sphere/orb: 60m
• diameter of rear sphere/orb: 35m

The second ship I'd like to see is Ramrod from [wp]Saber Rider[/wp]:



Unfortunately I was unable to find specs for Ramrod, but it's quite huge...

I think the Comet would be a challenge to every modeller. Alas modelling a ship like the comet is far beyond my skills with wings3D.

Must...resist...temptation....

May I have a Clear Air Turbulence please:

I'll take a shot at it, as long as I know no one else is doing so as well. Really doesn't look to hard.

Cool!

Thunderbird 2



And, of course, the legendary Fireball XL5




Which, because of the detachable nosecone section, is just crying out for Smivs latest Oo-tech

Well, if anyone can pull the Comet off, it would definitely be mandoman.

Oh, I know there are others in this group that could do it as well, or better. Staer9? Thargoid? Grif? Zieman? ShipBuilder? Etc., etc., etc.......

Well, I took a shot at starting it. It's no where near complete, and I think it would be best if a real Texture expert does that part. Here is a sample.

Off to a good start.. see this link as posted above by GGShinobi for some good detail.

I had a little plastic toy of this puppy as a kid - I loved it!

There are some cool ideas running through here .

With the right textures this will be perfect!!

Yay, this is going better than I could have dreamed of! What a great vommunity!!!

*dances in the room*

Oh, and the other ship suggestions - awesome, too!!

Hmm, what is this "Oo-tech" you're talking about

I once got promised an Orion by a guy named Jagen Ordo, but sadly he disappeared before he delivered.

I wouldn't mind someone else picking up the idea.


EDIT: fixed stupid typo

I had the idea to do this some time ago... I got distracted by wikipedia trivia. Did you know the fabolous bridge set was destroyed because nobody cared back then?

So, do you have a better ressource site than a quick google search would bring up?
