Description
Here is the orthos shot of the Hephetus Class Carrier Titan. I have kept some of the original mesh from the Titan Class, but reworked it so it would fit better with this design.
nice work
I like were this is going! Thanks for the little Update =)
Ah that's just awesome!
it looks like it can carry something bigger than a f 302 i like it and i have to agree it looks amazing
That monster is well over a kilometre long and I like that you've included a Daedalus for reference. I can't wait until the Rebellion release with this in it... Gonna hunt me down some Super hives... Is this bad boy going to carry a large number of squadrons or less than 10? Either way I'm cool but if it's carrying less than 100 fighters (the air wing on a modern US Navy 'super carrier') on a ship this size seems like space inside the ship hasn't been utilised properly. Or it has 5m thick armour plate EVERYWHERE! =P
i am also curious of this ships capabilities and abilities.
i dont think that is a deadalus class next to it i think that is a prometheus class ship
no that is a daedalus class next to it.
Actually you are both wrong. It is the Claudius
Ah yes...how did I miss that... What's the Claudius again? =P It's been so long since I've been able to play - my version of Sins is at v1.8 or whatever it is now. =(
Assuming the Claudius is around 350 Meters (120 meters smaller than the Deadelus) that would make the Hephaestus roughly 1,500 meters (roughly) meaning it is approximately 400 meters longer than a Halcyon class refit cruiser.
I'm not sure what to think about this one. The Ship certainly doesn't look bad, but it's somehow lacking the unique designs i found - and loved - in every other of the new human capitals.
It also locks massive and bulky, even more than the Goa'uld-Capitals. That doesn't really seem to fit the small, but powerful human ships. Looks almost as if you could shrink it to capital-size and it would still work as a design, contrary to other titans. Or is it just me?
Just you, if you havent noticed in the series the humans made bigger and bigger ships trying to have the biggest out everyone due to free of being overwhelmed. This looks like it is the response to the Super Hives that attacked earth near the end of Atlantis.
agreed
I didn't watch the second half of the last season - actually thx for reminding me - but if the wiki is to believe, the ~220m long bc304 is still the only serial-produced warship in the fleet, with the prometheus being the 200m-predecessor, a single prototype. The 304-design is actually more sleek. There is more a history of upgrading the stuff until it can crush foes ten times bigger - btw an idea which is really nicely implemented in sgi-invasion.
My thoughts also arent't about the size itself, obviously most of the ship-classes have to be fictional and have a fitting size, same goes for a titan.
Take a look e.g. at the Shu'tak-Capital, or the Apophis Titan. They are more fragmented, complex, and you can see their scale from the first glance, even without comparison. They carry similarities to smaller ship-classes, but differ in a fundamental level. In the momentary state I somewhat miss this kind of difference in the hephaestus, which would communicate the actual scale of this kind of ship. Atm it looks a bit like an upscaled capital.
The Bridge module on the top deck helps denote it's size. Also, being a carrier titan, it has the 2 flanking fighter bays on either side of bottom. These bays are larger as they will house more fighters.
Yep, and final modells and textures will further punctuate that anyway. I just wanted to throw a bit of feedback toward the unfinished modell and what impression it gives to me.
Can't wait to see the final version, and even more using it ingame^^
so you will include this experimental ship in mod? great
and dont forget to add ancient drones banks in it
DO you have any idea how many Asgard Beam weapons that girl must have! Im shaking.
i know how you feel, my all time favorite ship from this mod is the Concordia-class, i would love to see this Titan go up against the concordia :3
This ship is awesome you guys rock when it comes to ship designs
