USS_HECTOR

Recommended Posts

Found this object in another addon where a failed attempt was made to get it working in EAW. It was a kind of wrecked Fleet Defender carrier but I managed to pull it back to live and reconstructed the model from scratch. It's now fully working and can be further improved, which is a lot easier once it's repaired.

I don't know how you fixed all that mess, but it looks cool.

You must have worked on it at a steady pace.

Had my doubts but once it began to take shape it went pretty quick, privilege of being a pensioner and being able to work 24/7 but I had to take a coffee break after 8 hours, :)

Wow, looks stunning. I bet it performs well to unlike the one crippled model I seen in UAW 1.60.

Yeah not much you can do with that old one from 2004 anymore, might as well get scuttled. Sorry C.G. hope you like what I did to it, I really tried to keep some nodes as is, so maybe that's some consolation! Shouldn't look too shabby in Midway either.

After a thorough cleanup 9 nodes were freed and put to good use, with still 5 to spare. Now fully rigged and weaponized with 6 anti aircraft guns:

Top notch work, as usual.

What is that one gun in the center? It looks likes its on top of the roof of a little compartment? Is that were it suppose to go?

EDIT: Oh wait its on the other side of the center compartment, it was hard to tell , but i looked at prevous screen shots to see where it would be placed.....

A miraculous transformation from the USS_HECTOR to the HMS_HERMES, as in use in various older addons. The bow section changed to the older carrier model and a bit of color was added to the life rafts to complement this version. Here it is in a quick adaptation of an off line shipping interdiction in EAWPRO.
