Ganean Construction Ship Ganean Construction Ship

FahreS @ -=WiCKeD=-HARKER, 2009-05-25

A while ago, there was a group working on a mod called "the Sands of Time". It was cancelled shortly after it began, and FahreS was a part of the team that worked to put it together. One of the ships he built for it is this one, the Ganean construction ship. It was going to build the stations of a race special to the mod, but now FahreS has put it together as a construction ship to use however you'd like. The ship is animated and works when stations are being built. Worker bees are included, and all of it glows nicely.

This is FahreS' entry for the competition, and so far, it's the one to beat. This is a beautiful model and as construction ships go, it's everything you'd want.

Cool

Information about this mod_______________________________________________________________
This ship was designed by me for the TC "TSOT" (The Sands Of Time).
It should be part of the "Ganean" race, that was invented for the mod.
Sadly, this mod was canceled a short time after its beginning.
Now, a long time after the mods ending, I had the idea to release this little ship
as an addition to your cardassian fleet.

Thanks, It's a nice design judging by the looks of her she would be a nice compliment for the Klingons or the Romulins IMO any.

This reminds me of the carrier Tigerclaw from the Wing Commader movie!
#4 meda 2009-05-27 13:04

@ Chief_Chainsaw

i liked the ships in Wing Commander, maybe theyve influenced me a bit :-)


@meda

hah yeah, dont know, he disappeared lol.

ive slightly altered the colours in the inside of that ship to make it look better, but generally its the same youve seen when weve worked on the mod.
#6 Superman71099 2010-02-26 08:08
it's a great ship but the engine glow is the same used by the Ori mothership for its glow, just smaller so it cant be used in the same mod as that ship
