large faction specific transports ideas

[RSphil]

ok, so a while back there where a number of threads about things to add to the faction specific aircraft and larger transports was the one thing which sounded good, these could be used to transport vehicles ect. like 2 tanks and a few troops or another configuration.

well i said id make up an idea or 2. here is the first. this is for the TR and i only put color on 1 or 2 pics. still a few things i want to do but will take time and i aint a 3d model designer by long shot so these may look rubbish to alot of you but let me know what you think.
i will be doing NC and VS as well, i have an idea for a NC one but still thinking about the VS.

(EDIT all 3 now done if you scroll through you will see my updates)

Looks pretty awesome.

[Riekopo]

That makes me want a huge AC130 type aircraft.

That would make a nice stable shooting platform.

i hope we get player studio soon, then we can submit planetside 2 models to SOE.

ye was gona put weapon systems on it like a flying fortress but forgot lol

[Brusi]

Hopefully if we keep asking for this kinda thing and keeping the conversation alive, Smedz/Higby will make this shit happen

[RSphil]

would be cool. that could be used for titan mode like in bf2142. that was fun combat. floating base to take.

[Assist]

I want a godzilla sized Barney. Load up my magrider in the feet and run it up to the mouth to shoot out.

Yep, make it happen.

I'm assuming the wings act as bays to carry the tanks?

If so, I'd suggest adding a fringe to the back side so they don't go falling out the back.

[Hamma]

Cool stuff RS!

[capiqu]

I like it looks very good. Especially since its often hard to tell if a gal is enemy or foe.

no they go internal. hens the bloody great big arse lol. you land and the door opens with shields from door to aircraft at the side. yo could also drop them on futuristic parachutes i guess. pilot can drop you when over the target area. all that is up to SOE lol

ye i tried to make it look like the mossi a little. the NC one will look different again and VS will look strange lol.

[RSphil]

the plan for this was either to carry 2 MBT or 3 lightning's or 4 quads ect. plus be armed like the old b17 flying fortress. so say 6-8 people manning guns who could drop pod out as well to support the vehicles. or cert into it to drop platoons onto locations. think of it as a Gal on steroids.

[RSphil]

ok im back again :) so i started the NC one. very blocky look to it which is the NC's way but still alot to do like add engines and see where i want the wings to tilt ect. its getting there but still not sure about it. better then my last attempt. NC are harder to design for then i thought :huh:

[RSphil]

here is the 3d view with some color on it. still doing fine detail via photoshop now like faction decal and have other views like side view to show wing/engine rotation but will have them up when done. this is a little peak.

what do you think?

[Sledgecrushr]

Your designs look very nice.

[RSphil]

cheers. :) need a better model program, going to try blender soon but they are ok. still needs more color to highlight some details but the other views will help make the shape clearer a well

[RSphil]

ok quick update. back on nights so can do work again lol. started the VS transport. this is in very early stage and has a lot to be done to it yet. might look like a much larger version of the ESF but with some changes to fit cargo/vehicles. not 100% yet, i keep changes things until im happy with what i see.

the NC one will be updated soon with the info for wing/engine orientation for VTOL. its not much different from the Gal atm tbh. will also add info when they are all done on how id like them to be used, Cargo configuration ect.

[Brusi]

VS one can beam people down and up like star-trek... but with a big purple flying saucer beam!

[RSphil]

lol. was thinking of maybe being able to cert them to carry a platoon. i will go into the internal cargo bay when iv finished them though.

I never noticed before that 2 of the 3 faction of supreme commander shared the same faction colors of planetside!

[RSphil]

NC one done and a little color added. the Vs one is finished also but need to add a little color but i'll do that at the weekend when im back working on nights.

Good on ya. Well done.

[RSphil]

ok finally done all 3.

here is the idea for the VS large transport. random color on it to make it a little more VS. hope you like the ideas for them


i would like to see these transport fill the vehicle transport roll.
they could transport 2 MBT, or 4 Lightnings or 6 flashes, or a combo of these like 1 MBT and 2 lightings.

they could also be certed to carry cargo. 1-2 ammo crates to drop on the battle ground where needed. they would either last for a set time or until ammo has run out like ammo from players.

id also like a cert to carry a platoon or a few vehicles and say 6-12 players. id think players would be needed as id also like to see these armed like a B17 flying fortress from WW2. lots of guns for defense.

just a few of my ideas for these aircraft.
