-- Charon?! (https://volitionwatch.game-warden.com/vwbb/showthread.php?threadid=1500)

Charon?!

Wasn't that the name of a support ship in FS1 that capture the Dragon? And also the name of an Installation built by some MODder and in HLP?

No idea about the modeler but yeah, that ship was named the Charon.

Charon means ferryman of the dead in Greek.

One of the destroyers in the 3rd Silent Threat mission was called the Myrmidon.

there are so many names that have greek or latin origins

Neither Charon or Myrmidon have been used as a 'class' name before, just as names for specific ships.

What about the gtf Myrmidon?

It seems that there are only so many names you can use huh?

That is what it's called right? I'm not making an ass out of myself here right?





...Not like it's the first time though

I believe you are right

I doubt Dark can say when it'll be out. We can't with BWO. I think you'll hear something about it soonish. Not sure what.

Argh! Lighting is A-1 SUPAR!

Anyhow, if you really want to know about AoD, ask Dark. I did, and got some info. I don't know if he wants it public yet, so I'm not going to repeat it here.

Who big is the Charon installation exactly?
could it fit a ship on the scale of the collossus?

well the Golgotha can fit in to it, so that should give you some Idea.

The portal section can fit Sathanas, Colossus and thus anything smaller. So its a hella huge station.

Wow... Screenies?

Now That is big so you could say the portal opening itself is roughly the same size as the knossos?

Dark is still working on the model so I can't take screenies of it yet.

The Charon is probably the second largest model in FS2 if you take into account Styxx's Apocalypse.
