Incomplete Redesigned Terran M1?

Post by RedXIII »

Well, today, while trying to get the AP Gunner to work for the 500th time (One of the major pluses about a M6 should be that it can dock at more places than a supercapital ship, but this is not so in the AP Gunner's case) I stumbled upon a handful of ships.

SS_SH_E_CARRIER
SS_SH_E_DRONE
SS_SH_E_M1
SS_SH_E_SPACESHUTTLE
SS_SH_E_TS

Now, the only logical and possible thing the 'E' could mean is Earth. These are obviously earth vessels.

I Scanned through them, all of them but 1 were slashed out, due to having absolutly no models at all. IE, they were just pure code, and thus of no real interest.

The SS_SH_E_M1 was of very much interest, as it actually had a model. So, I got a tship file, slapped the Model number on a random carrier, and decided to fire up the game and check it out.

The bad news is, its a very incomplete carrier. In actual game, the ONLY Thing that was completed was the docking collar.

Its pretty obvious that, out of bordom or perhaps something that was later scrapped, one of the Devs started to work on a redesigned Terran Carrier. But eventually it was scrapped early on.

By the way, the Model number is: 4094

I think theres a few modelers about, but perhaps, at least we got something to work off from.

No models for ships or cockpits in there, i stumbled across these entries too when i did my mod. BUT you can model new ships and take those entries;)

Actually, look closer, the SS_SH_E_M1 has a model number, not a cockpit model number (But thats allright). I even provided the model entry for people to try it out for themselves. 4094

I CAN take screenshots, but have nowhere to host them. So somebody else is going to have to do that.

picky, are ya? :)) But your right, one has a model, but not real. Give another ship that number and you`ll see what i mean, its total crappy.

I checked the model, its only a docking port without a ship, so nothing special there.

It does give a general idea, with the lights as well, of the shape.
