Thinking of PERHAPS creating a new campaign

Okay... thats going to be a tad tricky...

anyway, i got another update, i am nearly done with sketching up simple designs of the Xiion ships, i just finished the second destroyer, the cruiser, and the battleship and carrier designs, i also have some models for some of the race's turrets (including the model for the flak). as well as for some 'advanced' weapons (more powerful than other races could possibly have).

One of them is based off of the freespace laser shown in videos aparso put up for the freespace topic in this same board. I call it the 'Lancer', it is a super-charged laser beam capable of both piercing shields and also draining a good chunk of energy out of the target ship.

Another is the Plasma Chaingun, another idea i got based off aparso's freespace mod vids. Specifically i got it off of the chaingun like weapon seen in one of the videos.

When it is once again possible i will scan the sketches and see if i cant find a way to put them up without any hurdles.

I really appreciate that you guys are taking some of you're time to assit me in this endeavor, i dont think i could have gotten this far without all the support here from the Nexus Skirmisher Forum. The only question i have is what is keeping aparso from jumping into this topic? this seems like something he'd LOVE to delve into.

Anyway the sketch i have for the battleship is somewhat identical to the Orion Destroyer from Freespace. As is the carrier (which looks pretty much like the battleship, but has eight hangar doors in the roof of the ship's main hull.) I have yet to decide what the fighters and bombers will look like, but i think i will utilize the 'Kamikaze' weapon me and mularac discussed in the scripting board.

I hope you guys dont mind it if i cant make the models myself and that im asking the community for assistance in that matter for my project. Again i want to state that anyone who assists in the slightest bit is definitely going to have their name put in the credits of this sucker once i get it together.

I also may have figured out how the last mission will go... it will be a almost apocalyptic battle, with the Xiion Overmind (a massive ship that is the size of a planet) looming over the battle, ominously awaiting the outcome. Im thinking of having two parts to the last mission, sortof like adding a 19th. Again in the fashion of nexus, except starring the inside of the Xiion overmind's hull. The model for it may be based off of another X3 ship that seems perfect for such a role as that.

The_Small_Time_Modder:
OK, computer is fully functional again... thank god... :D

anyway i finished up the sketches for all the Xiion basic ships, though im thinking about maybe adding in a sort of 'Boss' class of ship. im not too sure though.

Once i get all the scans up, ill THEN tackle putting them up somehow, then after i get feedback for each of the models i will then start that SVN thing mularac talked about. Which might be AFTER november.... if im predicting correctly.

Ive been messing around in X3:TC too, soo cut a little slack for me. ;)

The_Small_Time_Modder:
sorry for the MASSIVE time i have been absent... but i now have ALL of the model sketches up on photobucket.





These are up for grabs for anyone to model, if you cant read some of my writing (i know its sloppy) ill gladly type it off to you via a reply. GOOD LUCK!

i want to have the models before i go any further in development of the campaign... if anyone wanted to know why i took so long. :I

Once i have the models for the xiion ships i will start making skeletons of the missions i have yet to make. THEN deal with all the coding and such i will need to do.
