Rare screenshots!

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
I didn't want to double-post in the "The Shout Thread" thread, so I made this if anybody wants to post screenshots of all the odd and funnily weird stuff that we all know happens in the Armada games, like this planet I found .

@Chiletrek image doesn't show. Can you attach it via the upload feature?

I can no longer edit, so here is the link: https://www.deviantart.com/chiletrek/art/Abydos-FOScreenShot-181202-193708-775102412

But I admit it is very odd as it has never happened before... let me retry:

Nice, I like this idea of oddities! But mine isn't really a hidden find in the stock game, but more of an artificially made oddity.

In remember in my personal install, I made this custom instant action map that had an ancient derelict Hur'q Station surrounded by a thick blanket of Metreon nebulae. Basically, whoever makes it thru and captures the station can wreak havoc on the other teams.

The Hur'q Station is basically a superweapon railgun with 99999 range and 5000 damagebase per shot. So all hell breaks lose if an AI team manages to capture it.

Hello:
A Hur'q Station? Maybe you should release that map... even if too OP .

Or at least a pic

Mate just save the pic and upload to msfc using the upload feature. You have unlimited upload space. I made it that way so members can upload to MSFC without running out of space.

@Chiletrek
I'm gonna poke around my old installs to dig up the station, the Hur'q Railgun was just a kitbash of some stock models I think.

I'll have to look around since the option does not seem to be here where you reply, but I'll figure it out... it was just odd that what I used to do will no longer work.

Cool, still I am sure some might enjoy that .

What can I say? Sometimes the best hiding places is under someone's very nose

 

[Hellkite]

Then let me show you my friend

Yup, that's the one, so big and shiny, yet it was so good at hiding from me ...

 

[Hellkite]

that and you have a new Avatar

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
Oh dear, that's right! .... I am not complaining because it's still good-old XANA but with a much modern look . Was that you Hellkite?

 

[Hellkite]

Yep that it was .. It's more toaster like and fits you better

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
Thank you kindly .

 

[Hellkite]

Your very welcome Chiletrek

So the custom map was a bust, probably because it dates back to 2011 (damn that old already?) and I may have done far too many edits with the map unit odf's and such. But I was able to find the Hur'q Railgun and get it working again. Screenshots below:

It's a bigly and yuge thing, firing its death cannon, and also a small fed fleet to show it's scale:

 

[Majestic]

That station looks awesome Jetfreak

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
I totally agree with Majestic, the station looks great and detailed... also, I like the way it created the beam at the middle. Maybe that station could be a future release?

 

[Jetfreak]

It's meant to be intimidating in size alone, and the tri layout roughly forms the Klingon logo too. Will pack it up for release for sure.

 

[Chiletrek]

Very cool! Because we know Klingons can never have enough weapons .

 

[Jetfreak]

You boys remember this legendary mod?

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
Oh dear, I don't remember ever seeing that .

 

[Admiral*Alex]

You boys remember this legendary mod?

Part of me is glad that I was not around for whatever this is, but another part of me wants to know; what is the point of the floating head?

 

[Chiletrek]

We don't know, and we are not supposed to ask

 

[Archonon]

So Jet is that a space station per se, ala Klingon Death Star, or an automated giant turret?

Whatever it is, it looks cool and deadly, 9 out of 10 Klingon warlords would approve (The tenth thinks it's still too small ).

I've seen the Picard head before and...well, no comment...

 

[Jetfreak]

Well you can grab a copy over at the download section, thanks to Chiletrek, I've "re-discovered" some other oldies from my personal A2 builds. Old, crappy but not forgotten. I'll see what I can salvage.

There's other cringey mods apart from the Picard head. Remember the donut and the donut box? Oh my...

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
Oh yeah! I remember the donuts! I think you can build extra donuts in the donut box .

 

[CABAL]

Mmm... donuts.
