    anyone remembers the game <a href='http://www.activision.com/games/battlezone/' target='_blank'>"Battlezone"</a> from Activision? I <b>loved</b> that game!

    actually I really would like to see the BZ Infantry in NS! (or the ones from BZ2.... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )

    Pretty neat Surge, Kahler.

    Serious bumpage needed here. I already see a request/idea thread made after this. >_<

    I may have been playing too much Age of Mythology, but I think it would be rather cool if someone reskinned the aliens to have some characteristics of mythological beasts. Just an idea..

    how about farmer bob from "Sheep in the Big City?"

    I vote this made a sticky. There's no need for <b>50</b> **** request/ideas threads, some of them pertaining to the <i>same frickin' thing</i>. You can post pictures here FFS.

    EDIT: Windelkron: Those aren't shorts. That's the bottom of his Flak jacket. It looks like shorts because I drew it so you can see where his legs are under the jacket.

    why not predator? You could have little predator drones for lerks, with suitable robotic noises.. preds for the fades, some kind of pred hunting dog for skulks, robotic gorges, and a pred in maybe a vehicle of some sort for the onos. Just an idea <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Heres a star trek weapon that i thought would be kinda cool. this one uses projectiles and was modified in this great ds9 episode to shoot through walls! ultimate sniper rifle! Whatever, i thought it looked cool - a project for a rainy day i suppose. Theres a bunch of other ST weapon designs on the webpage...http://www.phasers.net/2370/tr-116.htm

    do i spend too much time on star trek? i think weve covered most of the sci fi shows already.
  • Wolf_KahlerWolf_Kahler Join Date: 2002-11-29 Member: 10252Members
    That does look kind of nice.

    I have nothing against Star Trek models being suggested. If I were, it'd be like being fascist. Everyone's got their preferences.
  • KizKiz Join Date: 2002-11-06 Member: 7236Members
    Hmm. How about Star Trek redshirts as a marine replacement model?
  • ACiDuSACiDuS Join Date: 2003-01-17 Member: 12406Members
    farscape would be good, peacekeepers vs scarans, or just some generic race perhaps?

  • SycloneSyclone Join Date: 2002-12-11 Member: 10574Members
    I would like a cockroaches or a praying mantis as a fade.

    The praying mantis would suit the job quite well I reckon.

    OHYEAH. I will love whoever ports the phaser rifle over. That weapon is definately worthy of NS.

    Surge, that drawing is bloody fantastic! however i tend to agree i think the flack jacket goes a little to low, maybe stop it @ belt level ? all the little gadgets look nice on there too (the radio etc). I'm gonna fully comment on this <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
    i think the helmet looks good, but the shape of the visor makes him look a little mean in a bad way IMHO. and perhaps to add a bit of dynamics/not so static-ness to it, tilt the fanny bag down to the right a little and make it slightly loose so it sways around abit while the marine moves. other than that that drawing turned into a marine model would rock arse. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
    and can we get some animations that hold the p_x tighter into the shoulder, gives it a more tactical feel.

    I guess the "original ideas" concept I had turned into "more video games and movies to base NS on"... oh well <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Oh come on, I put my l33t concept. Actually, I have some better pics for concept. Same pic, but cleaner...

    looks like capitan nemo's suit
    j/k
    nice drawing
  • Smoke_NovaSmoke_Nova Join Date: 2002-11-15 Member: 8697Members
    Hey, it still takes more effort to model a new model based on something EXISTING, such as the ST Farsight (Perfect Dark) Rifle

    Let's face it, someone goes through just modeling the ST Farsight Rifle rather then porting another AvP 2 weapon and we'll all be surprised
  • NeptalidNeptalid Join Date: 2003-01-06 Member: 11951Members
    That drawing is pretty sweet, sorta reminds me of the first Alien movie. It reminds me a bit of a lot of different sci-fi "work" suits I can't really remember. Sad thing is that there aren't any maps in NS with open vacuum, but then again theres no helmet code. I hate being spored....
  • NeptalidNeptalid Join Date: 2003-01-06 Member: 11951Members
    Just got an original idea for a pistol model. The pistol model as it is now is really wierd. It looks like it has a compensator, but said compensator is a permanent fixture. The slide looks like it was taken from the USP in CS. I have no idea how this thing could be field stripped, and that gap between the compensator and the slide is wierd and probably easily jammed up. There also seem to be a 2nd barrel instead of a recoil spring(at least I think thats what should be there). Enough of my criticisms, on to the idea. I think that a futuristic carbine would be more intuitive given the damage and accuracy. A carbine with some sort of automatically telescoping stock or barrel. I think that some imagination could produce a configuration that could be drawn with the ease of a pistol. What about a slightly longened barrel with venting rather than that wierd looking compensator. The stock could be nestled rectangular segments in a =====( shape. Hopefully my rant makes sense on some level.
  • Wolf_KahlerWolf_Kahler Join Date: 2002-11-29 Member: 10252Members
    No, it makes sense. Consider the M1 Carbine, as seen by less studied people in DoD. Particularly the paratrooper variant, with the wire folding stock. Something based on this principle might do. Advanced, of course, to fire 10mm caseless exploding warheads, though. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    As an alternative to having a pistol that fires rounds twice as strong as the available assault rifle, I like the carbine idea. The "rifle" is just too damned under-powered.

    Im kinda running out of model ideas, (yes the morita carbine is coming!) here are my current thoughts on projects:

    -star trek rifle (see picture in above thread)
    -maybe that men in black II pistol, all chrome and shiny
    -Eh, whats this farscape i keep hearing of?
    -i so dont have very many ideas
    -final fantasy pistol, though i cant find any refs

    heh

    id really like to find a futuristic gun that looks like an actual rifle instead of some inflated machine gun looking thing.

    You have SC stuff?
    I've seen a marine model and a hydralisk.
    Neither was released.
    to the best of my knowledge anyway.
    So Where is this SC stuff that is over running us?
  • NeptalidNeptalid Join Date: 2003-01-06 Member: 11951Members
    I could probably make a *bad* concept model, that is...if I had the software. Alas humble gentry, I have no credit card....if only I knew a way to convert .q3 files into .smd, like the modelling 101 thread says I can...buuut I have yet to find anything of the sort in the links provided.

    that suit looks too much like a biosuit, it loos all like fabric..draw something a bit bulkier, metals and plastics and stuff...also whats with the boxers on the outside of his pants or skirt, whatever that is
  • Wolf_KahlerWolf_Kahler Join Date: 2002-11-29 Member: 10252Members
    Not boxers. Bottom of the flak jacket.
