So every idea I ever come up with - fails. I never get around to doing it, or I start on it for awhile...then stop. This one, unlike the "infected airport" and others, will be 'srsly' worked on. No, I'm not just trying to get my post count up, and for those of you that will contradict me, (and most likely have over 1,000 posts) I will reply by simply stating "you have been spamming here longer than me." Whatever. Now, I have already made a rough draft in paint, but have most of it in my head, and more and more ideas are still coming up. Below is the picture. Also, in the picture it looks kind of rough, but it is a rough draft. It will be much more curvy and neater. I might add a picture of my rough draft horizontally. Overview: Another angle: Jokes aside, this gunship will roughly look like an AC-130, minus some obvious things, like the prop engines and the big ass cockpit and that. It's only going to be a block or two high, and about as wide as a scorpion is long. Other than the weapons on board the gunship, there is none. The gunship will be mainly hollow except for the vehicles and some aesthetic pieces I will probably add. The gunship will probably be built on the sky bubble on sandbox, because i refuse to float objects when there is already an easier way. If there ever will be a map around this, it will be one sided assault, with the ship looming over a base with the objectives inside, and the attackers in a building, and enough cover in between, and it is on the ground level of course. Estimated time of completion - At a rate of four hour sessions every day, every day, about a week. Time put into idea - Two hours brainstorming, drafting, and sketching. Project phase - First phase, drafting. i will srsly work on this. srsly. srs post is srs.
I have started work on my AC130 concept as well - but my approach is different. My map will still be a spaceship, like a sleeker version of the UNSC One. Armaments will be 2 scorpions and 1 turret. I have avoided scorpions as ship weapons until now, I have finally come up with an aesthetically pleasing way of incorporating them into the ship. I am not into direct collaberations but I am up for idea sharing and previewing/testing the maps.
Sure. I'll give you access to the early stages of my gunship, if you do the same with yours. I'll start work ASAP...but I'm going to some trip tomorrow! I will finish as much as I can and send it to you right away.
This looks good but will only go places as a mini-game probably. How will the people on the floor take you down? Or will you just have a time limit and see who kills the most peeps? Make sure you have the scorpions facing backwards so the gunner seat can't be used. Also, why not put a Wraith in there? Might be inaccurate but it'd be funny as hell!
I planned on having the ground floor peeps being really strong, and limiting the people in the gunship to two or three. Might be infection or objective based. Yeah, just noticed. I need to angle the whole ship for it to aim at the ground. I'll just put the whole thing in the sky bubble then.
i was going to try and make a map called Barrel Roll, which was a huge battle going on in the sky bubble where ships had blown each other appart and there were ships that smashed in to another ship right before going down anyway and etc etc. i started making it and sort of lost the feeling to do it. you (if you wanted) could pick up where i left off, and this ship would make a nice center piece!
