Space Battleship Yamato

[Tigershark624]

I'm no modder but I'm a huge fan of both the original Japanese series and the American adaptation Star Blazers. I've often wondered if it'd be possible to mod a Space Battleship Yamato. Sail right into Tokyo Bay and let 'em have it with the Wave Motion Gun.

Um, I suspect that if you commanded Space Battleship Yamato you'd be sailing into Pearl Harbor, San Francisco and then descending on Washington D.C.

Seems I'm not as Crazy as I first thought.

Technically,there could be a version for both sides,that way everyone's happy!

For anyone interested,here's a comparison pic I found


Of Course the Second Bridge under the Keel would HAVE to be removed for some obvious reasons.

EDIT: Also found a pretty good schematic.Maybe make the Wings Extendable with "Shift+X"?

I feel honored,the Mighty Webster has Graced my topic with his presence.and With a Joke none the less!

Dammit,this is one of those "If I had the ability I'd make the thing myself" but alas,I don't...

So Yeah,now it's a kinda sorta Request Thread/Brainstorming Thread

the great thing about this game is the never ending modability of it


do what you like and enjoy the fun of doing it and there are always others who will enjoy it too after you upload it to share with us


modding is fun and 90% of it IS easy if you just try it and the other 10% takes a little time and study but its often easier to do things yourself then waiting on others who never completely share "your" vision of how you would like it to turn out.


there are dozens of modders on this site who will take the time to teach you and help you every step of the way and in the end you will have learned very important modding lessons so you can do so many other things you havent even thought of yet because you didnt even know you "could" do this or that

just start a thread asking "how do I completely retexture a ship" and you WILL get the answers you need to learn how to do it, dont ask something like "how do i create this mod?" because something like that is often just too hard to answer a question like that without asking a hundred more questions.

instead ask "how do i create a new battleship?" or "how do i add bigger guns to a ship?"

we can help you step by step so break your questions down into simple stages to get where you need to get

good luck with it
