Today I was looking at a model of an aircraft carrier in my room while playing halo 2 for PC. Then it came to me__What if I could build a map based on this design. So then I started the concept art. It's an aircraft carrier with the bow loged onto a "Y" shaped sandbar. On the ship top there are banshees and ghost plus there are runways and turrets to use. Also to get below deck into the hanger you park your vehicle on an elevator press X and then you go down into the hanger where there are vehicles and storage rooms. If you want to try this out then make a post and if you need the concept art I'll post it soon. (like 20 minutes from right this second) GL
Darn! I can't load it. Well I guess I gave you a good mental image. Dangit! I have to be a member for five days... I'll give someone else the url and see if they will post it.

i like it

this appearantly useless post functions to subscribe me to this topic :)

cool so will you make it? If you do please use my name in design artist. This is rather an impressive feat for me since my mind is 70% left brained. The only way I get creative ideas is through an inspiration. This one was because I was working on a model ship.

Any futuristic aircraft carrier ideas? And why the Y-shaped land mass? Is this a corner of an island, or the peak of a mostly submerged mountain?

I don't think the covie stuff quite fits the carrier. But there's human aircraft that would, with some fixing up. I'm gonna try to demonstrate the aerodynamics I believe a human aircraft type of vehicle can use by, for starters, converting the Wasp from banshee based physics to Pelican based physics. This Apache I was working on, pelican based (for additional up/down control), would fall somewhat like a leaf, due to "air lift" or "air friction" or some such type powered masspoint in it's physics tag. So I'm seeing what can be done with the Wasp at the moment, and then the jet in extinction.

My idea was that the land mass is a sandbar and this map was a base. I know it would look better with human flying vehicles like the apache, blackhawk, S-3, Ect., but I do not think you can edit a banshee to look like that. Another point I need to make is that this could have been used as a makeshift base by the covenant. That would explain the vehicles there.

It is more than possible. The Wasp's tags are Banshee based. The model was made in Max, exported and Tooled to make the gbxmodel and collision model tags, then the banshee's masspoints were repositioned to fit the wasp's profile, and then a copy of the banshee's vehicle tag was edited to use the new tags, and thats why it handles just like a banshee.

it could be a banshee or wasp. I really don't care wasp/banshee. either one will do. Oh! and if you use this map idea please give credits to watchedspore on concept design. You get the rest and TELL us if you want to do it.

jacknme, did you ask for pics to model this with?

Nope, I only did it because

Anyway, no time to do that, got mid year exams, mum and dad would fry me if they found me on the computer (like now).

what kind of carrier is it?

It's a normal present day aircraft carrier that got beached on a sand bar and is worn down after a few centuries. Its story is that it going to be taken to the ocean and dropped to form a coral reef, but hit a sand bar on the way and was just left there. Again it is a normal aircraft carrier. If you need a reference type in USS kittyhawk.
