Description
This is the remodeling of the freelancer Sleeper Ship. Referance images where obtained through the introduction video to the game.
its a bit big compared to the hispania behind the planet malta
but i like this one better
much much bigger. but really, compared to the sleeper ships in the introduction video, the one behind malta are puny. im not entirely sure *why* it was made so small. they should have scaled it up very large to give us something to awe at. there isnt alot of large objects you get to fly around in freelancer.
also don't these sleeper ships have some rather powerful turrets because in the intro one of them takes out a capital ship or something
yeah i just watched the scene.one does get destroyed but there was 5 sleeper ships firing on it. those weapons also looked like forward guns only (not turrets) and in the homeworld mod the front end of the sleeper ship would be used to release completed capital ships etc (it splits away from the body and opens up, sort of like the hgr mothership releasing destroyers) so the guns would have been removed. lets just say that, for the sake of keeping the game a little balanced haha. hows that work?
they would be equipt with several turrets (that they didnt appear to have in the video) aswell instead, giving them something else to concentrate their power systems on in case of an attach
in the intro dosent it have a bridge looking thing near the back on the top
yes it sure does :D . I've mentioned that in the Sleeper Ship WIP article in the news section.
Hello there, I love the model and wanted to invite you and it to join the battleship challenge on 3dvia.com. :)
So what about size of this ship? About 1,5 kilometr? Something about 150 000 colonists?
