Background info on ship. Its meant to be an Andromeda era Bounty Hunter. The Andromeda show doesn't mention ship class alot. But think of this ship as a Frigate/Fighter. Kind of a tweaner. Average crew might be 6 but could carry 20. This ship would be available for private purchase and would not be limited to a specific race but mostly used as a weapon of bounty hunters. Slip stream capable of course. Good manevuerbility and packs a heavy armament for its size.

Furious
Courageous
Indomitable
Victorious
Leviathan
Colossus

Any of those sound good for a Bounty Hunter ship.

Looking for a name. I like Raven's Harrow. Looking up Levthian in the dictionary

To my knowledge mostships in Andromeda are not given a name or a class. Need the name more for game purposes.

The Allister Crowley
The John Wayne Gasey
The Grey Lady
The Deliverance
The Pat Garret
The Lord Bowler
The Cheyenne Sixkiller
The Huntress
The Briscoe County Jr.

I'm thinking outside the box today.........WAY outside.

Leviathan is one of the TITANS

I like the Huntress and Grey Lady. Was thinking I need the class name and ship name. Class name 1 word, ship name 1 or 2 words.
I will have varients. So if I pick Victorious as the class name, the refit could be the Victorious- XY7

I did an obvious refit with more guns and then rotated the ship so what was the bottom is now the top. Tenatively this may be the Victorious-XY7 class with the ship titled Grey Lady. That could be considered either the ship name or the handle of a notorious bounty hunter. I might consider customising and placing 'The Grey Lady' in lettering on the ship side. This ship is grey so......

This is unofficially the Victorious XY-7 class Grey Lady. Close up shows the name. Added 2nd engine, still debating if I will use the 1 or engine varient for this.

WOOHOO I helped name a ship !!!!!!

Red_Green · « **Reply #12 on:** February 01, 2005, 04:08:05 pm »

hehe Thanks everyone for the help. Oh And if this goes over well I could have as many as 6 varients. I added more smaller guns and added the XY-7 designation. This ships base polies were 6400 but now its like 9000 with added guns and engine. I justify that because I think SFC will be a dinosaur once games like Nexus get into full swing. Newer games require higher end machines anyway and come with higher poly stock models with bump maps. I will eventually release the 6400 poly version as its more suitable for SFC.

Hey should I put made in China somewhere on the hull for a laugh?

Cool names Cozbo. Hey I looked up gray in the dictionary. We have all been spelling it wrong. Its gray not grey, LOL Though I think grey looks better and it could be the name of the lady as opposed to the color.

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #15 on:** February 01, 2005, 10:22:41 pm »

Hey red quick idea for ya..........make them modular. Each ship is an individual design but can link up when hunting down lareger ships. I got this crazy idea from the "Caging that surronds the ship. It has a Sci Fi scaffold appearance .

Red_Green · « **Reply #16 on:** February 01, 2005, 11:31:27 pm »

MP- I like the idea. Couple problems portraying it. First, these are a bit too high poly to couple 2 together. Then I am designing these with an Andromeda mod in mind. These have a bounty hunter feel to them and bounty hunters are mercenaries that are always shown flying solo. They don't want to split the profits

They also are all about money and as soon as the going got real tough, ie: a Magog invasion, they would just turn tail and run.

I could couple bounty hunters and do a render just for show. Even then I'd likely have to strip some stuff off for em to fit.
