Drakhmother

Hi all.

Please prompt, is it correct mass of Drakhmother ship?

Posted by Vorlone on 04-02-2004 03:04 PM:

I think it's not the Mothership! It's the Drakh cruiser! It could be about 20% bigger, i think!
That is the Mothership:

Posted by FlakBait on 04-03-2004 04:40 AM:

Yeah, the Mothership launches cruisers like they were fighters.

BIIIIIG.

Don't have the Drakh 2 ships with that siluette? A carrier, launching the raiders and a smaller one, the cruiser?

I think I read something like that anywhere in the past.

The Drakh cruiser is about 3,3 kilometers long, and the Nova is some where around 1,4 - 1,5 , so that ship should be at least 2 times as longer...

The Carrier launching Raiders is a big mutha, way over 10 km.

Somebody slap me if i'm totally wrong

There are multiple sizes of the Drakh Cruiser...one of the most commonly viewed is the ones that are generally longer than the Omeg but not by much.

The one I see down there looks pretty darn accurate.

The Drakh Mothership is of an undetermined sized (and the official charts I think are dead wrong on its size) and there may be varrying sizes of that as well.

The cruiser is suppose to be over 3 kilomatres long but i reckon keep it the size you got there.

Alot of it is fictional (they usually state it as being so)...sometimes they quote information from Tim Earls who was supposed to draw up official size charts but the charts themselves are only useful to a certain extent since they generally contradict about half of what is actually shown in the CGI.

There was some attempt to standardize some of the ship sizes to keep them from wildly changing but Crusade never went on long enough for that to properly happen.

That is right...it's my mistake. But it is not a cruiser, it is carrier class and there is 14 km long. It will be extremly difficult to adapt it in TBP.

Is it true or I have another mistake?

Posted by Vorlone on 04-06-2004 03:50 PM:

It looks beatifull the way it is, so I think it can remain so!

Cruiser and Carrier use exactly the same CGI model...the initial appearance places it around 14km in length which is crazy...

Every other appearance (i.e. in Crusade) shows us an armed and smaller version roughly the size of an Omega.

As I recall the carrier had a slightly different tail section and had several protrusions along the top. These are visible as Delen's Whitestar group "skin dance" to avoid enemy fire.

What he's shown us in that screen shot is a main hull shape, that's all, but he may have done the extra knobbly bits already for all I know. Asprin, I'm a big fan of the Drakh ship design (and Ulysses 31 ship design for anyone who knows the connection). Contact me over ICQ (go.icq.com : # 29118701) if you require assistance.
