[Contest] Spaceships - deadline in late October

The Spaceship Contest is Open!

In developing my next featured mod, Galaxy Wars: Special Edition, I would like to open its development to our prestigious modding community.

Here's what you do:
1. create a flying vehicle
2. upload pictures here

3-5 winners will be chosen by MGM vote. (Since I cannot change the poll here, I'll start a new topic with a voting poll, listing all the submissions.)

Spaceships should use shaders already available in halo demo.

Good luck!

EDIT: The contest is now open; please post a screenshot with your models. All vehicle submissions will be considered!

Also, I've recently learned how to create vehicles in 3d studio and use them in halo demo, so if you want help doing this, let me know.

No offence man but,
we already have the Weapons contest, Valhalla Mod, and now the Space Ships and Space Stations?
I think this should wait a little bit.
Although you will have people join, (and I'm not saying that people shouldn't.)
I think if you post pone this, you will get better results.

I'd like to use some vehicles from Depp's Solum (Island v.3). You can use a vehicle from The Island or Import Island and then put your own spin on it with custom shaders. For example, I'll accept multiple submissions of the jet, as long as different shaders are used. But only one jet will win if a jet wins at all.

In the end, the question is, "what do YOU want to have in a huge galactic spaceship wars mod?"

If I had an antr to do it with, I'd have a huge galactic spaceship. Unfortunately that needs a different antr, otherwise I'd have something extremely kick-ass.

Is this because you feel you cannot compete with CE vehicles, or because you don't like them? There will be a vote for the best vehicles, but in the end, the decision lies with me - and I haven't been asked how I will judge which vehicles to use.

I'm going for a theme, not just the vehicles that win the contest. So give me a vehicle that is different, not just one that "kicks". Specifically, I'm looking for covenant and human versions of each of these:

1. Small fighters (a la X-Wing/Tie Fighter/Banshee/Jet)
2. Soldier Transports (a la Troop Carrier/Cruisers/Covi Dropship/Pelican)
3. Heavy Bombers (a la Tie Bomber/B-Wing/flying scarab)
4. Trams* (a la trams/trains/buses/cars)
5. Small Fighter Carriers (a la Star Destroyer/Carrier)
6. Capital Ships (a la Super Star Destroyer/Longsword)
7. Small shuttles (a la Lambda-class shuttle/Escape Pod)

*The tram could simply be a box that drives forwards and backwards. The idea here is to have a vehicle set in a recess or path that acts as a tramway. The tram would take you to different locations around the map, or between spaceship hangars, as an alternative to teleporters. You could start with the warthog...

I don't like them, and I think a person could be more original that ripping off other people's work. go make your own

Since when was the Longsword-class Interceptor a Capital Ship, and the Lifepod(Bumblebee) a shuttle?!
