Description
Originally, the Meteor-Q was a troop transport used by the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders in the era of the Old Republic. The new version, developed sometime late in the Clone Wars is an entirely new ship, at least on the inside. The exterior, however, was designed as an homage to its ancient counterpart and bears a striking resemblance to it, as a result. There isn't a lot of detail that needs to go into describing the Meteor-Q. After all, its a transport of Mandalorian design so one could sum it up in a few simple words: A heavily armored troop carrier....with guns.
I love how you're just a one-man-show and achieve all the things you do, overhauling the entire game, it's very inspiring. Great work as usual.
Thanks man. It's a mountain of work...but certainly enriching and worth the time.
I love the different mandalorians!
Thank Kad from the Yuuzhan Vong mod team for scripting that little gem (randomize appearances) for me!
One of my favourite transports for the simple fact it has a face.
Lol and a massive overbite.
Damm bug
Does look like some kind of beetle, now that you mention it.
haha yeah. Question thoe
Will the weapons fire when it is landing troops to prevent people and the ai from rushing the landing zone and easily defeating the invader ?
No. They are fixed position guns but I'm not including that mechanic in RotM anyway. It works better in my Halo mod but in RotM, most of the weaponry on transports is high enough calibur to defend against starfighters. It would vaporize troops and tanks.
Maybe a cowering toad?
That is a name I'm sure would make any Mandalorian proud. Lol. "Get to the Cowering Toad transports and make ready for battle!"
Uh man they look sooo good ! Love the right bottom shot the most. It really feels like there is a story behind that one. Are you using spec maps ?
Your entire mod is an awesome Artwork :)
The alpha channel of the normal map works like a spec map...so yes and no. I have a spec channel applied...but not as its own map, if that makes sense.
I remember seeing these guys in Jango Fett: Open Seasons
Yep, that is the only modern source for them. All others are Old Republic era I believe
Your mod has the prettiest artwork ever. It's a shame the game is about war, when you look at these beautiful screenshots...
Haha thank you.
I'm loving the Q-Carrier model bro. I've sadly haven't kept much track on this mod because of a busy life. But now that I've seen what you have done so far. You are doing a spectacular job, can't wait to see what else you will pop out. I'm sure if there is a Mand'alore he would be very honoured.
Haha thanks a lot!
The landing gear is pretty cool. And those female Mandalorian models are new, aren't they? Some stripes on the others as well.
Yeah, after I made the model for Xhan Mar, I tweaked it a bit to use as a generic female warrior, then used the random appearance script that Kad wrote so I could vary the armor texture.
