Another day, another spaceship... UNSC Frigate Yup, after all this time making "UNSC" ships I went and recreated an actual UNSC ship, for all intents and purposes the Forward Unto Dawn. As with my other ships, this is not a perfect aesthetic recreation of the outside of the ship. I poured my heart and resources into the interior and functionality. She features a MAC cannon (with magazine and loading mechanism) and cargo door (both operate from the bridge). Also included are two drop pods and a tactical ops room. Anyhow, onto piccies: Ugly looking thing aint she? Looks better from the rear: And down below: The Tactical Ops room: MAC round magazine: Load one into the chamber: Flip the switch on the bridge: Off it goes: Get to the pods: Pod away...: Open the cargo doors (Bridge switch): Out ye get: Due to budget constraints and the unique geometry I didnt setup gametypes, this is just for fooling about, machinima etc. Download
This looks epic. I like the mac round magazine. Switches work perfectly. The pods are awesome. May i use this in a machinima?
pretty damn epic, the amount of switches you used, making the MAC cannon fire ect. makes it good. the 'hull?' of the craft is accurate and well forged a dl and a good rating from me
This is a really well put together map. I have seen a few of these but this is one of the best due to its functionality. Very creative and good job on on building the ship. Very aesthetically pleasing. Kudos
This looks like a very nice and smooth map. Good making of the drop pods, but in my oppinion, its doen't look that bad from the outside. Just downloading, because one of my mates LOVE drop pods. Also, I wana check out the map. Good job!
I was thinking of tackling one of these for my next aesthetic forge creation, i like that yours has the drop pods and a mac cannon, but if i were to make one, i would make it a little bigger. It just doesn't seem about the right size. But what i mean is, clearly you can't replicate a frigate 100% accurate with size and everything, but just a little bit bigger. Also how's the inside? or is it just like a long hall that leads to drop pods and the hog in the hanger on one side and mac cannon on the other..?
Nice Job. Ive already DLed and it really is very cool. It was perfect obviously and it was a little cramped but still interesting. The MAC cannon was fun ^o^.
Normally i would commend you on your placement of functionality over beauty, but it seems that you've accomplished both. Merits a download from me. I hope to see some more epic creations from you. Keep up the good work!
Sure, go ahead, also if anyone want to build a gametype aroundthe ship that is fine. You probably could make a bigger one, but you would have to make sacrifices to do so. The size and shape of the sandbox blocks were my major consideration when deciding on the scale. The interior geometry was my biggest concern with such an awkwardly shaped ship and it was only when I got it figured out that I started the map. Below is a rough layout of the ship, from top to bottom. Bridge Forward: MAC Switch (powerup) Rear: Door Switch (Flip mongoose) Main Deck Forward Port: Tactical Ops Room Starboard: MAC round magazine and loading chamber Middle: Ramps to bridge,hangar and observation deck. Rear: Cabins, armoury and drop pods Observation deck: Access to front of ship, rockets laser and sniper. Hanger: Two warthogs and a mongoose, cargo door. There are no teleporters, ramps connect all levels of the ship.
Bravo! I've seen alot of UNSC Frigate forges, but this by far is the greatest I have ever seen. Everything looks like it works. Once again, great work. I would like to see more from you.
It's very confusing inside the ship, maybe you could give some sort of direction? Like you could interlock teleporters and Red/Blue lights, and then people might know what is in what direction.
great ship barcode, this is one of the few ships that pulls off exterior aesthetics aswell and interior aesthetics, love the MAC cannon, I've only even seen one other ship with a working MAC cannon.I like the vehicl bay aswell.
This is pretty much an amazing remake. There is so many fun and cool things that you can do here! Its like, do I want to shoot someone, drop a pod then assasinate them, or just run them over with a warthog!
I am not sure that would help, besides using lights would drastically alter the look of the ship. And the layout is constrained by the design of the ship.
If your confused with how the inside of the ship is, do what i did, wander around for about 10 mins(or about that) and try to remember your way around, if it doesn't work the first time, try again.
cant use Bnet ,so canu friend me and send me the map. my Gt is sogtheman838 if that dosent wrk try SOGtheman838.
Wow, just like your other aesthetic maps, this is win. Nice touch on the switches too, you went that little more and made it a lot more awesome. If only I had the dedication to make maps and finish them like you do.
