Post Earthforce Interceptor (capital ship)
Hey guys, Borg Cube and I, were talking about making a new capital ship for low lvls. So here is the Earthforce Interceptor, a Tech 5 capital ship. Used for low lvl Fc or gunners, or anyone who wants to. It might also be a good trade slave. It has 666 polys and 334 points. A .Obj and a image below. Thank you hope yall like it. :)

Jeff was always opposed to low tech capships but I think part of it was that f2p weren't supposed to get them back in the day. Maybe that line of inquiry can be opened up now.

He still doesn't like low tech capital ships. He was talking about low tech class oriented ships and left an obvious hole where FC and Gunner were supposed to be.

james, try and redesign the Earthforce capital ships, the current ones are oversized drainpipe complexes. We need actual capital ships.

I agree wholeheartedly. The current EF capships look terrible, and they really, really don't flow with the rest of the Earthforce ships, specifically the Enforcer and the Constable. I would suggest taking the Enforcer and the Constable, and enlarge them, adding more details as you go. And try to not make them utterly massive.

One thing Jeff_L has done was alienate capital ships. It's expected that they will be bigger than LF and HF, but the scale difference between an Equanimizer and an EFDN is insane. You can literally fit 20 Izers in a single EFDN.

Do them anyways. We can manually patch them in if need be.

Capitals ships should look more like that and less like drainpipes imo ;]

While I agree, that caliber/style of model doesn't really fit with the SS theme. I'm definitely down for a more realistic/logical look for space ships, but SS isn't there at the moment. It would take a lot of work to make that kind of ship feel appropriate in SS IMO.

This is model and texture I took from Supreme commander and placed in SS along with a few other ships I liked. I could send you model and texture, but I'm not sure if those could be legally used in SS even after remodelling.

If used as a visual reference, not an issue I don't think. But if you took the original obj and modified it, then claimed it as your own "new" ship, you might have problems. Not worth the risk imo, just create custom models.
