Space Odyssey Ship(s)
From the Mail:
Quote:That I feel needs mentioning, just in case.
Heres The Mod, Sorry But It Turns The Monolith Is Bugged, so It Should Not Be Mentioned In The Introduction Part
Anyway, to the review, a collection of ships from Space Odyssey (well, two ships). - Thats pretty much it...
- SSA
WHATS A THE DISCOVERY
This is a ship from the great classic movie 2001: A Space Oddessy and it's sequel 2010: The Year We Make Contact. It is a
Non-FTL ship equipped with 3 extra-vehicular activity (EVA) pods. So I figured It would work as a construction ship with the
EVA pods as the Work Bees, If you feel other wise I have included Hitpoint Maps so you can make it anything you want.

.....does it come with an "Open the pod bay doors, HAL" special weapon?
They'll Work Fine On The Ship
We need more mods like this! Classic sci-fi! No intergalactic wars, no melodramatic space operas, just good old-fashioned campy inter-system exploration and "Space" the way it used to be, way back when...
Now we need a Space Odyssey duology pack...
Imagine of the monolith's in 2010 didn't create the 2nd sun and the world ws destroyed in a nuclear war, and the only combatants left were the Discovery with Floyd, Cunrow, Chandra and HAL vs the Russians on the Alexi Leanov, Course Arthor C Clark wouldn't want it that way. I would same as every other show if that happened.
All Sci-fi is good in it's own way, cept for the poorly written stuff by politically motivated non-scifi authors , Who don't know what the $%@# they are talking about and don't care about the story. That why series are great like Alien/Predator , Star Trek, Star Wars, Space Oddessy, Back To The Future, Stargate (not Infinity), BSG, Halo (even though it's owners are @$$holes), Bablyon 5, Terminator, Starship Troopers and many others, the one word that makes the shows great Commitment, Sorry for the rant. If you think of any others put them down,otherwise I think these comments have run pretty dry.

it is from 2010,
by the way, I'm a real noob when it comes to texturing, they only thing i'm really good at is borgifying textures. In 2001 the ship doesn't have that many shades of colour,sorta realistic because of it's basicness, glad you liked the ship though, Kubrick was wise to choose the design
