U.S. Carrier needs rebuilt!

[Rudd]

which bursts an other idea... Why there isn't a "Models requested by Dev's" thread in Community Modding section?

At least I couldnt find one... People who are interested in modelling could take a real project in their hands, instead of doing models that will never be used.

Just a slight off-topic idea. Kinda related though, you know... add the exact carrier you want to be made top of that list

thats actually a pretty neat idea.

it's because the devs got timelines to work with and got a limited amount of texturers and uv people (a surprising amount of modelers don't know how to uv)
on top of this they need to keep a consistent standard which means that they can't comment on everysingle version that would be created by the community (imagine several people doing the same model)

on top of that they want some stuff to be secretive so that they can work with it without interference


hence why we got the R-CONS which are all old community modelers that got promoted to that status because of a show of a good skill level and the ability to be able to work in a team.

Not all carriers look like that.


Also, the Essex is a great carrier for PR, since there aren't any maps (YET!) that feature jets and carriers.

A bigger carrier would probably be needed for jets anyway.. I don't know about you but i'd rather not have a bigger carrier then the Essex. Then you don't have to run 3 football fields to get around ._.

lol
Actually this carrier can be enough for jets, but if we got someone that is ready to code for a year, it would be possible to have jets on that.
If anyone got Flight Simulator X with the Acceleration Expansion pack, he will know what I am talking about
the F-18 can take off from the essex carrier but it needs some special things on that carrier and it can land there too.

here is a video of FSX carrier landing:

Here is a video of real life F/A 18 landing on a carrier:
YouTube - FA-18 Hornet Pilot's View - Carrier Landing
and here is one taking off:

i laughed so much





isnt this a REAL carrier/ship, looks pretty real to me

Ha, U got owneT. The desired carrier is too big, thats 2 badass for PR and 1, 2 planes on there would look plain stupid.

[Dosedmonkey]

Haha, that is pretty funny.

[Peeta]

I agree it need rebuilt but I doubt it will happen. I have Gmax if someone could show me how to use it.

That's a nimitz class carrier...not the essex

Just FYI does anyone remember the carrier from BF2 Special Forces??

the model and size would help a bit regarding a possible future JET Carrier.

[Maxfragg]

NO NO NO
the iron gator is exactly the same ship, just with a higher LOD and some more rooms inside, but its NOT bigger at all

[ExoDuUs]

well just a thought..

The main concern would be landing the jets. with enough scope to allow the 'imperfect landing' you dont want them crashed every time the need to rearm. On a public server you can never regulate who flys always. So a medium difficulty landing should be prepared if you were to make a Jet carrier.

There is a reason why they operate STOVL (Short Take Off & Vertical Landing) jets on it so they dont have a "crash every time they need to rearm"

[CodeRedFox]

Having carriers are cool but when 0% of the fighting goes on there and its only used by 1-2 players as a landing area the importance factors kinda low. PR maps are really too small for real fighter jets. A basic ship like the BF2 carrier works fine for now.

But in all means jump into max and bust one out

Have a look...MaritimeQuest -HMS Invincible R-05 Page 1

Yes as stated in this topic before, PR is aware of the Invincible class aircraft carrier.....

[Skodz]

Wouldn't the Battlefield 2: Special Forces expansion aircraft carrier from one of the map be an easy replacement for the vBF2 one ? We can enter it and it look more "alive".

[Maxfragg]

and it causes lag, seriously, placing it on a not just water filled map is not the smartes idea, and as Rhino said before, captureing a enemy carrier is not very realistic, so it would not add anything gameplay wise

[UncleRob199]

Edit the Special Forces one to not contain all the complex interiors? that's probably what causes lag or people computers to slow down. I think it would look much better, and shouldn't take nearly as long as creating a new ship. Maybe just put it in some maps and keep the old one for others, so we get variety. If there's a problem with landing jets, the strip on it could maybe be lengthened, not sure how though.

Anyway even doing all this editing should be easier than creating a new one, and if I remember right the SF ship looks almost exactly like the one that master of the templars posted on the first page of this forum.

you're not allowed to edit original DICE models

Ah flump!
