[Aurek akareth]

Hey everyone. Some of you may or may not have heard of me and my oh so jinxed mod :)

Most likely you will not have.

Im just posting the latest pics of the work I have been doing all on my owneo, as the mod is not intended to really (re)start until HW2 comes out and I only just saw this HW2 mod forum today!!

looks good

i like the R2 race. although i don't intend to spoil anything, but them R1 ships look a teeny tiny bit like Babylon ships. not sure which ones, but i think there are better experts around here ;)

looks great though ;)

[Aurek akareth]

Ammon ra, I dont think they do. Its only the most superficial of similarities.

The Terran ships I have created require proper combination and co-ordination of different fleet assets to be effective. Unlike the multipurpose B5 EA ships. This changes many things about them.

Yes the supernova fighter looks a WHOLE lot like a starfury or thunderbolt, but its just such a damn good concept. Look at it as my little tribute to B5 :)

[Zefram]

when i first saw the mod, i thought it was a B5 mod. its the cap ships that look similar.

[Retroboy]

There will always be similarities between ships, though. There have been so many different ship models available in some game or movie or other, coming up with something new would be difficult to impossible.

Good work, Aurek.

Hmmmm, Thanks for the comments (all comments are always appreciated :) ) but Zef but I dont really see a huge resembelance.

Take the mainstay of the respective earth fleets:
Fortitude:

Omega:

apart from the engine section, where are the similarities?

Thanks for the kind words retro.

Anyho insted of needlessly discussing this, I should get down to gett a few more ships ingame! :)

[Swifty]

he may be refering to the AoG ship made by the EA which looks sought of like yours but not much.

All EA cannon ships look like the Omega or based around an Omega. The Omega is totally different to what Aurek has.

[Ammon Ra]

Turrets. and engines. thaose are the similarities, but like retro said, similarities will pop up.
