So the platform is quite empty.
What better then a Frontiersman dropship to spruce it up!

(Heavily influenced by Roughnecks : Starship Trooper animated series's dropship! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )

So far, polycount is around 450.

Work in progress shot:

commandfox

looks mad

wish they had a drop ship smilie

Smoke_Nova

BP, nice ship design.

the coolest SST part is the dropships, the capital's are crap.

Good luck putting it as rdy room

Private_Coleman

looks good! hope someone uses it

Chubbieboi

kool finally a better looking RR

BlackPanther

The wings are gonna be redone. I don't like them.
Maybe make the interior accessible too... i dunno.

The skin will also be the same kind as any Frontiersman model.
Maybe.. just maybe.. the NS team will looks at this, like it and put in the mod officially! yay!


I also though about animating it.
Maybe make the dropship takeoff as people spawn!

Chubbieboi

that would be rather interesting but is it gonna be on aall maps RR?

Deadblank

wait im confused, so what is this gonna be? are you talking about a window that looks out of the RR and you see the dropship? or is the RR gonna be in the dropship

Blood_Oath

i wanna see the ships for the marines, where u just jump out and land in water and thatll be ur base..altho u cant put sentries there..but maybe a smal portion of water. if only you can add parachutes just like Fire Arms <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

BlackPanther

No no no... the model is just going to sit in the middle of the platform!
Purely eye candy to make the RR look cooler.

KeksImperium

will it be allowed to use this in a map?

Xanieth

I'm thinking that the dropship with it's doors open could be the 'Join Marine' entrance. You could make the RR a room on a capital ship.

KeksImperium

yeah i would like to use it as observer join <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Supernorn

The hives spawn aliens. Why not a drop ship spawning marines?

Mr_Headcrab

can you compile it as a static, i MUST skin that thingie!


Oh, BTW, interested in helping a n00b out with a prop model? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

wtf, doesnt the marine portals spawn marines?

Ollj

But who spawns the marine portals?

Were do the first marines come from (info_team_start) that take place in the first cc to build portals.

BlackPanther

Guys guys guys... don't get all exited! hehe
It's just a world model! hehe
Although i may need a good skinner for it seeing as my skinning skills are still in development.

Mr_Headcrab

......... if you mesh it, i'll skin it

3ncrypted_zer0

Uh whats it for?

Mr_Headcrab

map prop

Smoke_Nova

Why not make it part of a custom map?
*1st marine appears in dropship, in a small hangar bay. C&C is placed immediately outside.* or not

Blood_Oath

this all sounds interesting, cant wait till it finishes

Wolf_Kahler

There's code in the HL engine for autonamous flying things, like helicopters. Remember shooting down the helicopter? What would be really sweet are destructible flying drones that would go buzzing around, shooting at stuff with weak little laser things. Gorges can spew Babblers. How about flying surveilance/attack thingies for the marines? They'd be pretty weak and wouldn't do much damage, unless they exploded, which would be like a grenade. Maximum four or five, or something...

Suicide_Run

or little on the ground robots that buzzed around like in star wars <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

SilentMurderer

Umm... Think of what you're saying... Is this really possible to include?

Suicide_Run

not really <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

but its still funny i mean come on if aliens can have bablers why cant marines have little robots
that wizz around on the floor like startwars

maybe they can shock people <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Jacko

then it crashes into one of those gas thingies.

then the server crashes because it takes too much resources..


good job!

BlackPanther

... if you wanna know what the model is for, re-read the first post.

Elbo

I like the model as well as the ready room...
can't wait to see it nearing completion!
