[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE] Actually, I believe "Marines" is the correct terminology. [/QUOTE]*coughs up hairball* Ghak..Uhhp..Blauh! Yeah, anyway; last time I checked there wasn't a great deal of liquid water in space. Then there's Kirk's line in "Arena" about his 'Tactical Squad' (or something similar) and their big nasty photon mortars. Also I have something of an issue with too many Earth centric terms being used in a supposedly multi-cultural Starfleet. I imagine the term would confuse most species from planets with little or no open water, like Vulcan for instance. [QUOTE] Like it. But maybe you could let the missiles look a bit less like present-day devices. Okay, there can't be that much variety because they need to be streamlined (at least for orbital attacks), but how about submerging them into the hull. [/QUOTE]I had initially intended to do just that, but then I remembered what those side bulges contained. [IMG]http://lobotomy.pleh.net/~flareupload/uploads/335/engine_2.gif[/IMG] I don't think it would be wise to imbed heavy ordinance into the hull, right next to the main fuel tanks. Besides, having them on hard point struts like that allows a certain amount of flexibility in the equipment that the shuttle can carry. For instance, instead of those four missiles it could carry extra fuel in disposable 'slug tanks', or specialised sensor pods/comms gear for command and control duties. Maybe even a set of fixed position particle weapons. I've altered the missile a little bit, made the fins a little more funky, the head and tail more bulbous and painted of a big command star, but as you say, it can't be too much unlike todays missiles since it's what's under the casing that makes the real difference. [IMG]http://lobotomy.pleh.net/~flareupload/uploads/335/B7AO-23c.gif[/IMG] [QUOTE] And I suppose we'll have to modify the Indigo model as well, right? We'll wait until the debate about the missiles is done first, then it'll only take an hour or two to make the 'physical' changes and Rev can send me appropriate decals. [/QUOTE]That's entirely up to you Kenny, I just whipped this up purely for the change of pace as it's very rare that I do anything particularly militant. Aside from that I haven't used PSP in months, I wanted to see if I remember how to draw a circle. ;) If you do decide to mesh it up, just give me a shout when you're ready for the decals.
