Edited by: Nova Fox on 23/08/2008 20:04:27 /roleplay on
I was on the hangerbay floor overseeing the construction of the Servant Sisterhood of Eve Ships when my secretary contacted me about a call from Caldari Navy Command.
Here I was thinking it may be finally pay day for my company when I clicked on the video conference screen in my office, it was not the case as I could immedately tell from the look on the admrial's face.
The conversation was long but never heated, in the end my previous prototype sumbitted to the caldari navy was unacceptable caldari engineering. Not entirely my fault I didnt goto the School of Applied Knowledge for my spaceship engineering so the Admiral purposed a deal and offered some starship engineeers to help me redesign the lander.
Over the course of a few months we tore the returned mk 2 pelican and becane with a fresh plate rebuilding it with some caldari help on hand. We had a slight delay and eventually had to scrap the hull entirely after reinforcing attempts and retrofitting failed. So we had to entirely go back to the drawing board and started to create a new plan of construction.
Today after alot of talk with the caldari engineers we came to an agreeable footprint to the 4th version of the Caldari Lander codenamed Pelican.
Construction begins soon and I hope a successful undertaking in furthering starship engineering.

Okay folks and yes there where couple hundred complaints about the symmetry of the origal mk1 mk2 and mk3 pelicans which you can see here
Pelican Mk1
Pelican Mk2
But after looking at the mk3 (not shown), I decided that there wanst going to be anything able to fix the problem so i had to scrap the design entirely and restart from the beginning so without further delay
Pelican Mk4
The original 11k by whatever picture scan is still on my computer and Ill eventually get it colored. Im also proud of this one that i fiannly got dual perspective correct on this ship so it isnt as isometric as the first three ships.
Complaints, Issues, Critiues, Suggestions, Comments, are welcomed.

That's awesome, makes me wish there was a planetary RTS-style EVE game.
Hopefully that's what CCP has in mind for planetary interaction, sometime after Ambulation and god-knows-what-elseÖ.

Wouldn't be Caldari if it didn't look like a meteorite landed on it.

Last I heard they want a RTS for planetary warfare with pod pilots generaling over thier forces (makes alot of sense done this way multi manage an entire invasion force though the thinking) Since planetary stuff is supposed to start in 2009 i decided to make these space to ground units ahead of time.

awesome redesign, definitely delivered on the caldari aspect of it. Keep designing those ships, you have some pretty nice concepts!

Edited by: Hana Lena on 24/08/2008 22:14:37 Ah yes very nice. Now start on the galanite mintar and armar ones 
Also in the planetary seage mode it can split in the middle (E.G. Tiger Claw [Wing Commander]) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ADHD + Dyslexia = BAD SPELLING!

Already designed the Liberator (NFX-1), Prometheus (NFX4 & NFX-5), and Sactuary(NFX-3) along with the Pelican (NFX-2, NFX-6, NFX-10, & NFX-25) they where my first four ships, they are all colored but the prometheus and the liberator are due for an overhaul soon, there where complaints about the prometheus's airbase module while its on the ground and the liberator wasnt homely enoughf or the minmatar but the pelicans complaints where the ones filling my inbox the most.
As for the planetary seige weapons already designed 3 of them but none of the naives want to fork over any money for thier costruction cept the amarr who promlty used it to raze some poor ol defiants base then lost it when it got ambushed trying to leave atmosphere, something i specifically warned where not to fly it.
Ill post them if you want to.

The Republic has come a long way since the rebellion, a look at their newer designs such as the Hurricane and Maelstrom shows less iron girder and a more high tech appearence. Not to mention the recent rust removal treatment on all their ships.
The idea with Minmatar seems to be: sails, fernite carbide plating, and a generally spartan design.
They're masters of engineering and as Antoine de Saint ExupTry once wrote "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

Will be scheduling a trip though minmatar space soon where Im negoiating a loan of ships for study with another pilot i meet back in the day however finances been rather low lately.

take a look at the 15%, I had to prime the bare metal with the caldari energized secrete ninja squirrel paint which reducing its sig radius to be alot smaller than it really is.

I dont recall adding in the boosters under the left and right super structures which if i recall right is typical of most harpies.
But the two things under the 'wings' are rocket pods for pounding gound targets.

Ill try to design a new liberator then based on the high tech minmatar while still enhancing the old style design when i bring the ship in for an overhaul.

As requested by a player the other rival navy's army landers (not the frigate-ish sized drop ships, which if your wondering already designed but not ready for publish yet)
Amarr Sanctuary Mk1 No scheduled overhauls noted, customer currently satisified with design.
Sunctuary Design Notes
Gallente Prometheus Mk2 Scheduled for an overhaul to a mk3 version, no major structural changes to be made, most changs are cosmetic.
Minmatar Liberator Mk1 Oldest Eve-online ship in the Novafox Shipyards, scheduled overhaul for a mk2 old republic specifications and a mk 3 new matari specifications.

Its a tiny bit busy for me. For a craft of this purpose i personally vision a more stripped down simpler design that relies on its support craft and defensive batteries. Similar to an aircraft carrier of today, it would travel as part of a fleet for defense, its armament mainly consisting of dual purpose launcher/turret points the idea being it could completely arm itself with defender missile batteries and rely more on the guns of its fleet than carrying an arsenal itself. In more covert operations then it can arm with turrets and use a reduced fleet.
I also see the flight operations being more central to the ship, the armaments at pods on the perimeter and a much reduced deck arrangement on the rest of the craft.
I cant draw sadly so you've already done far more than i ever could, i just think it would be less busy - flatter and sparser on the lumps and bumps.
I hope that makes sense. Think along the lines of aircraft carriers with obvious point to it being one big deck or a landing craft with little arrangement made for the actual crew and most space given over to its purpose.

Well about the overall ships design is to turn into bases once they land, coordinating the planetary invasion and putting down beacons for drop ships and orbital strikes. Many of the ships fitted modules turn into 'base buildings' in the sense or RTS standards.
So the fitted weapons would behave as base defenses once on the ground (for example a defender battery would be used to prevent other missile strikes including ones from orbit)
The midslot however the mid and low slot layout module loadout would be drastically different such as missile silo (shown on the pelican, used via super weapon manner), logistics bay (allows faster reinforcements from internal bays.)
While some existing modules will gain new life on the ground (sensor boosters revealing more of the surrounding land, ECM jammers discoordinating hostile troops, remote repair modules replenishing health).
The base only modules will be scattered to both mid and low slots to help flavor and favor different tanking races or to self nerf for balace purposes.
About the overall shape you would have take a closer look on the base mode in design notes, but the flight deck is currently folded over the center troop bay to provide more protection as well as to allow the port side forward landing thrust some swivel room while it lands, I may have to do a base mode picture after getting the flight mode one.
