I'd go with the dual laser, it seems to be more readily associated with the Arwing these days. Not sure if you can duplicate the bomb exactly, but good luck.

twin blasters FTW! Lasers can't even penetrate Ent D's navigational shields! :lol:

GREAT!!! :lol: I LOVE STARFOX!!!!!!!!!

keep up this awesome work 8)

Villain · « **Reply #83 on:** June 07, 2009, 01:52:07 PM »

Eh, can't duplicate the lasers either, but a blue torp is really all I'd need for it to fit... Oh right Quantums are blue. Close enough

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #84 on:** June 07, 2009, 02:03:22 PM »

No, no, no. Blue disruptors/pulse phasers for the lasers, a kind of white torpedo for the charge shot, and the bomb...well, I don't know what to do with that, anyone got an idea?

Villain · « **Reply #85 on:** June 07, 2009, 02:54:15 PM »

Definitely thinking Twin Laser rather than Hyper (Can't divulge why yet. ;) ), the charge shot would be a white with a green trim, the bomb probably red interior with a blue glow. ...Maybe a trail would look good on it.

Lionus · « **Reply #86 on:** June 07, 2009, 03:42:08 PM »

well, better make the projectile bomb powerful, it's not called nova bomb for nothing :lol: 8)

Only problem with them being strong is I'd have to give it few for balance. I want it to be fun while at the same time fair, as as we don't have quantified stats for star fox ships I'm thinking it'll need a little thought. I was thinking 6 bombs, 999 or whatever charge shots (Doing the same damage as a twin laser shot but utilizing nanofx/spread damage with a recharge similar/identical to the 64 game).

There was another thought I had, of an all range mode MVAM, which slows the ship a little in favour of control, with 9 or 10 bombs instead... Suggestions?

Well, The beautiful Theseus class made me want to try my hand at the Sargo again, and I figured I'd try something different with the nacelles. These ones are angled, giving a real teardrop look. The actual Nacelles will be built to take advantage of this, and personally I think it works well with the huge saucer, but I'd like some feedback, please, on both this and the new drive section.

The drive seems a little thin to me, but from some angles it looks beautiful at the same time.. (To me, at least.

)

That Stardrive looks strange, but good! Hmm Maybe you could try how it looks with that typical Starfleet heck (you know where it goes like "__/--" where the Heck is --> in this direction.)
On the Nacelles, I don't really like the inward rotation (but that's just me). How about an "outward Rotation", so that the "bottom" of the nacelles have the same angle as the Saucer's Edge.

Shino Tenshi · « **Reply #90 on:** June 08, 2009, 08:37:02 AM »

I'd also go for the "outward rotation" :lol:

Villain · « **Reply #91 on:** June 09, 2009, 07:03:33 AM »

Which way did you mean exactly, KrrK's? Image 1 or image 2?

EDIT: Why did I have to do that?! Now I can't decide between designs!

:lol:

Kirk · « **Reply #92 on:** June 09, 2009, 09:45:42 AM »

Version 1 was better.

KrrKs · « **Reply #93 on:** June 09, 2009, 09:48:46 AM »

I meant the Img 1 variant. The second looks strange :shock: . I'm pretty shure that would ruin the warp field somehow

. Though strange it has something... I don't know what, but it has it!
I think a combination of both won't work? :?
Then again... no , just the first variant.

Villain · « **Reply #94 on:** June 09, 2009, 10:11:32 AM »

1 it is! Though I think the reason I like the second is because it reminds me somewhat of the Eclipse Class's rear. :lol:

Shino Tenshi · « **Reply #95 on:** June 09, 2009, 11:36:19 AM »

Image one, was the one I meant ^^

FarShot · « **Reply #96 on:** June 09, 2009, 12:07:34 PM »

I'd keep the warp nacelles straight, with the rotation along their long axis like in V1.

agreed. the reason warp nacelles are kept straight is because of the warp field geometry. Angled nacelles means angled field coils which translates to a very unstable warp field. Very very bumpy ride...assuming you can get to warp at all.

Hey, it might be fun...you know, until the M/AR goes supercritical and vaporizes the entire ship.

Image 1 definitely.

Villain · « **Reply #99 on:** June 09, 2009, 03:55:48 PM »

Okay, I'm going to try something radical and combine both. Using suggestions about both, and appeasing canon, I came up with this.

EDIT: as you can see by the red markings, there is space beside the rear torp launchers. I'm unsure what to put here though, backup impulse? Braking lights? Pulse/Disruptor Array's?
