Orion's Flans Mod Models

Cute means you'll let your guard down. Aggressive means you'll throw everything at it.

And aggressive times many means your squad panics and shoots their guns with the wrong end pointing towards the enemy.

See this? This is an Israeli tank, the Merkava Mark IV, and it's horrible. first of all, look at the general shape . its obvious that its based on tanks made by other nations. its also very bulky and way too tall it should be much flatter or its an easy target for anti tank missiles :p
the main cannon is also placed in an awkward position it just looks wrong , it should be higher up.when its so low it could hit the antenna in the front which , should be on the top instead otherwise its blocked by the entire tank and you cant get any signals to or from it. the top mounted MG should also have a shield otherwise enemy soldiers could easily shoot you before you could land a single shot on them , also the belts look weird almost plastic .
in general the tank is also way too childish looks like something my 6 year old brother would play with

Quick question: does UTA have any reasonable guns atm? Otherwise, i'll scifi a few todays wep. Since someone described em xenophobic, they'll use stuff they invented, riiiight?

[Prototype]

There's some icons me and Fenway made ages ago still in the pack, just search UGF and they'll show up.

[Ivan2006]

All factions have a standard set of weapons (which still use old-school icon thickening AFAIK), so none have any models yet AFAIK, you could work on that.

[TheOrion]

Be prepared for them to look like today-days guns, since well, humans.

[Iv121]

Well what did you expect ? In fact I think a bullet with explosives or some other nasty stuff in it is not that worse than plasma. I actually have one of those thickened icon guns ready when I made that Aurora map, should dig it up. Also we are not xenophobic just prefer to produce weaps on our own, it allows you to be self-reliant, economically stable and provides jobs for the population.

Oh and BTW its possible to make ballistic weapnos sci-fi.

[TheOrion]

I've figured the'd use something like bolters or 7-10mm non-energy bullets, shredding armor but weak against shields. I mean, why not?

On that ballistic scifi note: PS2 crossbow-thingie

[Ivan2006]

Well, "like today-days guns" seems to be the theme Proto has been going with for the original human gun icons anyway, so I see no issue.

Well I decided to go with a big one as an example, the ML-20 rail rifle. Its a big rifle that propells its 7.62 bullets using both an explosive charge and electromagnetic fields giving it a muzzle speed of 3310 km/h. Moreover the bullets can be filled with a wide variety of materials including explosives. This weapon is designed to engage big reinforced targets and is especially effective against exo-suits and light armor. The rifle also mounts a heavy grenade launcher, a flash light and a laser scope. Its worth noting that its not the main battle rifle of the UTA, after the initial tests the development team as well as all the present officers agreed that using it against standard infantry is an overkill ...

Just for ideas, Interstellar Marines Weapons.

@Iv there is no "Overkill". There is only "open fire" and "I need to reload".

[TheOrion]

"I need to reload".

Overkill+ No Reload=

[Iv121]

Well imagine one of those bullets hitting ya at full speed with an explosive charge inside, that will blow your head off, or hands, or make a big hole in your torso ...

That would make a pretty good sniper for the human faction. Nice and blocky too. Stock seems a bit tiny but that's easy to fix. Just need to adjust a few of the proportions so a human can use it and it'll probably be quite good.
