We have become better motivated, brought among us one other, and made plans for the future. In shame we left, and in glory we have returned.
And so I give to you:
The second Command Carrier, CVC-II Heshed
And the return of the Dustwars, and it's greatest sign, the Megastation
And the megatiation works, just as planned. More is to come.
Here is the last release, from the last thread:

Deliciously Evil, indeed. :-D
Ok, here are some ships we have been working on. there are many more planned, which I will report on later, but these are the ones currently underway.
Hiigaran:
Destroyer, Type II Probably a Guided Missile Destroyer, in it's very early stages.
Cloaking Field Frigate by fluffypuppy
Vaygr:
Khivaana Ts`eiduq Battleship
More Battleship
Shalt`abar Battlecarrier
More Battlecarrier
Missile Frigate by spongeman, though it may be used for something else.
We will also be intruducing a third race, but havn't designed any ships, or even come up with any designs, so that will come later.
Sickeningly detailed, uber-cool, this is what HW2 modding is all about.
We need more of this!

Indeed uber-cool. This is great stuff.

Man, those models would kick the current HW2 ships' butt so hard...
My dreams have come true! HUZZAH! for Goatman, and I actually got to see a new post from tyreal, where have you been! o.O
--Kinjiss
I guess tyr hasn't had very much to say, `specially after i kinda usurped his Foundry thread :P
Anyway, the vaygr battleship is in the process of being UVed, and it looks like i forgot to post something.
Two Hiigaran frigates
The right one is the Energy Torpedo frigate. Energy torps are basically really big plasma bomb, superheated plasma contained by a mag bottle.
The other is somewhat undecided, but may be armed with a singe Nanite cannon. Only time will tell.
WoW whoever modeled those REALLY got that hw2 specially higgy feel they should keep up on making higgy models...
Double Post
But the poly budget on the megastation GOTTA be higher than that...
More faces more smoothing... !
BMB: yeah. that was basically a test to see if it was even possible/ worth doing. It is
HEY GOATMAN I just noticed something... look at your avatar(thats the pic under your name) and then look at the command carrier... notice any difference?
YES the texturing make a new texture that looks like that!!
and plz make whatever its flying over... SO BIG!!
Goatman : You're the man !!!!!!!
giant robots? oh well I guess you can't have everything.
also..goatman have you heard from unicron?
Well, we DO have giant robots, but actualy goats are more important...
Hey goatman, i think i just fell in love
Well, i can't be too sure when we will release anything, but thre is definitly a possibility that we will release the CVC and BB as soon as both are done. As I mentioned before, the BB is still being UVed (or it was yesterday, but i'm not home this weekend, so i wont be able to start again until monday evening) and the CVC has its construction hardpoints in, but is still getting its dockingpaths from Deathwish. After that it will need a little more tweaking, the appropriate capture and repair points, as well as point defence guns, and then it will be ready. It is a similar case with the BB, but that should be quicker, though it is not yet as well completed.
So, in short, we may be releasing those two ships as early as the 9th, but possibly much later, as we may choose to include other ships also.
I still need to rewrite the build and research trees, as i deleted the old ones, which were set up for testing purposes only.
Your models look sweet man, the vaygr BC is excellent.
I just can't wait to se the super carrier in action
i just love it!
Man ! Those ships are awesome !
Nice work.

Nice to see you guys back.
Suggestion? Release sooner rather than later, k? A full third race is pretty aggressive and might take well into 2005 before you put something out the door that's reasonably complete and balanced.
-- Retro
uh... wot exatcly are dustwars and why cant i find anything on google?
Retroboy: Yeah, thats probably true. We should be putting out a realease soon, within the next week we hope. The 3rd race is rather ambitious and most certainly a long-term goal, especially with all the AI issues that have come up for other teams. We want to get the new ships for the Higs and Vaygr first.
And as you say, Sooner is definitly better than later.
What about foundry II?
its not done yet. hav'nt worked on it for 5 months
I'd say the foundry was my fav ship in the whole mod. Well, not to rush you, but could we start on it again?
Nice to hear that u guys are back for the MOD! REALLY anitcipating it's release.... in fact this is the MOD that I pay the most attention to!
GANBATTE guys!
We'll do our best
certain people are being slow and lazy (not to critisize too heavily. after all people have real lives too), while i am having technical problems.
As for the Foundry, I probably won't do a lot of work on it for a while, since it isn't really a multiplay ship. i might do a little work, but that wont make it come out any sooner. It will probably get done along with the 3rd race stuff (which measne in a long time).
dang what a shame. It was fun to see the foundry with super hull defense guns and turreted ions, but the polies were too high
Well, if i'm stingy with the goblins, it should be fine the second time around. Current count is 5387. 'course the turrets and such will have to done carefully, but the polys should be ok, whenever i finish.....
As for the Vaygr Battleship, i have it ingame, with partial equipment. still needs defensive weapons, docks, and subsystem joints, as well as an engine subsystem. She is a deadly ship, offensive firepower rating around 12000. probably have some 8 lances and a number of kinetic HDGs.

Slow and lazy? I hope you don't mean me lolI'm getting those CVC dock paths done as quickly as possible
Ok ok, lazy was unfair. Ne'ertheless, i was only being facetious...
Maybe you should post the website in your sig. I don't feel like digging up the old thread
#34
The current website is kind of empty at the moment. I'm working on developing a new version but it's nowhere near complete.
Goat: I figured you were being facetious, that's why I was being sarcastic
Edit: Oh hey, I just thought of a redesign idea for the work in progress site I'm doing for ya; I could just do a stylized/simplified version of the ship textures I'm currently using to clutter up the theme heh, then it'd be half as noisy and still look vaygr.In plain english, I could trace the main outlines in illustrator then export to photoshop for cutting up into a web template. Sound good?
I dunno. i guess i'd have to see what it looks like.
And while you were being sarcastic, i was being oblivious to the emoticons
OMG! Your back Goat and beter then EVER! If you need File hosting again just send me a PM!
Glad to see work being done on the megastation. I would love to see it in game. The command Carrier Mk II and other ships look good too. Any chance of having a modified Vaygr Battleship?
Essentially it would be similar to what you've done except that there would be three of missile launchers that would be radially symmetric when viewed from the front (like the radiation hazard trefoil, similar to the concept art for the sensor frigate or whatever it was that was supposed to have three arms that opened up -- see bottom frigate in my avatar at left). Each of those 'arms' would have a Vaygr DD type missile launcher and a Vaygr DD turret on it (on the same surface that the missiles launch from).
10% of life is what happens to you and 90% is what you DO about it
gthompsn: sorry, not likely. But, you will probably like the Command Battlecarrier Geburah, which is equipped with with numerous light cannon, and a series of large missile-turrets.
ok, just to update here: we have been a bit behind, but were are making up the difference, albeit slowly. Fluffypuppy is working on the Escort Destroyer, while i have been working on texturing the battleship. I daresay i've improved my technique, but still ahve a lot of hull-area to cover yet. I've been polaying around with a few other things, including putting goblins on the Hiigaran Dreadnaught (Production Type) and generally prepping it for UV. I improved the new Hiigaran destroyer (what i will use it for is still unknown, myabe nothing. i might take that design as a generic hull upon which i can base the newer types), but it is still very low-poly. giving tenative release dates is probably not a good idea, since i'm already more than a week behind what i expected.
Just bear with me, eh?
I'll ahve the BB done by the weekend, with any luck.
@goat : thanks anyway. I do like your stuff and am enthusiastic about the possibility of having it in game some day...
same!
Wow.
must have foundry - uh - *thunk*
as i suspected, release dats are bad. as you may guess, the BB is not done. but i do have some pictures.
and yes, the turret is in the wrong place.
Well i hope they failure wont be a option. hehe but i hope it gets completed. To me those ships looks pretty good.

very impressive models!!
Those are GREAT! You made the production Dread. actualy look COOL!
Arg! You've killed my eyes....what a shame....-_-
Wonderfull! Can't wait the first release!! ^____^
those are some awesome models! I thnk u capture the homeworld's ships style really well! Thanks for working hard on the MOD =]
Excellent models, they port the game style pretty well
ArgCmdr, ahuman: Thats because I am using Relic's concept art.
