FX-200 League - Ships

[Xpand]

I'll be posting here profile pictures of the fictional FX-200 era ships.
I have three at the moment:

More coming!

P.S: Can the mods close their eyes a bit and let this slip through? :g

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

I'm reminded of the R-100 Delphinus Series from Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere.
Nice.

[Challenger #001]

Um, wrong thread Xpand?

[Xpand]

Well, I didn't want to create a new thread just for two photos.... Sorry...

[WolfKill01]

Awesome work, as always ;) Can't wait to see more

[jesse9705]

Sweet :D
Good Work On the ships they are well crafted :D
I reckon they are good enough to be in the next game

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

Moved the posts to the "right" places.
And I'm letting this slip.

[Xpand]

I have an Harimau ship.
I'm posting it later tomorrow, if I have the time.

[Mad-Ice]

Very nice! I like it. It's well rounded and the Proton X looks like a real Wipeout ship from the series. :clap

[Challenger #001]

Those do look pretty neat! :D I'm almost tempted to do a short piece about FX200 now. Think you could do Assegai, Auricom, Triakis and Qirex at all?

[Xpand]

Thanks!
Yep, just give me a couple of weeks...

Here's the Harimau ship:
2218

[Challenger #001]

Very pretty. ;) Though as far as I remember, Harimau only joined in the FX250 along with Van-Uber.

[Xpand]

Oh... Well, we can always call it a prototype... :g

[Challenger #001]

Hey, that's fair play. :P Gives you an excuse to make a Van-Uber if you want to as well~

[Xpand]

Icaras
2220

[Oryx Crake]

I love that icaras reminds me of the original in a way great job xpand

[Xpand]

Thanks!
I inspired myself on the WO3 and WOHD Icaras to make its shape. The color scheme was based on Pure's.

[WolfKill01]

Lovin' it. :) Can I be so bold as to ask for a Van-Uber or Auricom? :g

[Xpand]

Don't worry, I'll do all the ones that appear before and during the FX-300 league. :)

[Challenger #001]

Sounds pretty good!

The way I judged the timeline was that when FX150 started, only FEISAR, Assegai, Auricom and AG-Systems signed up to the weaponless races. When FX200 came around, weapons had been introduced and Triakis had set up its' own team. Qirex entered halfway through the season.

In FX250, Harimau entered the sport and Van-Uber made a comeback. In FX300, the eight established teams used their 200 ships for a junior league, the JX200 that ran alongside the FX300 in Makana.

As more and more teams joined the 300 series, they began to use smaller versions of their technology to make 200-capable ships, meaning that while Icaras, Piranha, Goteki 45 and Tigron hadn't actually ever been in FX200, they still ran junior squads.

When FX350 came around, the junior squads got a boosted power to FX250 standards. This allowed Harimau and Van Uber to begin running better teams, and they established themselves as dominant powers. The same routine was used for when FX400 rolled around, simply using 200-250 ships, allowing Mirage and EG-X to get in on the fun as well.

So my view is that while some of your ships didn't exist in the actual FX200 league, they're fair game for actually having been built to those standards. ^^ Keep up the good work Xpand. :)

[WolfKill01]

I think since there's not a concrete history about anything specific prior to the fx300, besides the fact that there was the fx150, that anything is possible :g. Bah, what am I saying. I just want to see more ships.

[Xpand]

Lol, I have the Qirex on my mind right now!

And here it is!
2226
It's a bit like Pure's...

Also, if you want, I can post a link with the hi res images.

[jesse9705]

So pretty:dizzy
if its okay with Xpand i would like to feature his crafts in a theme i might be making

[Xpand]

No problems on my end... Just remember to give credit, please!

[jesse9705]

cool and i will give you credit as you made these wonderful ships
ive made all of the wall papers for it for the current ships youve made and perhaps you can give me a little backstory on proton X and what they are about so i can get the right vibe from the Proton wallpaper

[Xpand]

Ok, Proton X...

It's a Norwegian team founded in 2170. Their test track is by the sea and that also inspired the blue and white paintscheme, so you might like to include some sort of gradient colors in your wallpaper (blue light swirling lines in a white background, i.e.).
The ship's performance is similar to FEISAR's, not too fast, but with great handling, good shield and medium acceleration.

[jesse9705]

cool proton X has now got its wallpaper ready

[Challenger #001]

Do love the Qirex. ^^ But there's no u in it goddamit.

[Xpand]

Lol... The cockpit is me.... :P
The intakes behind the cockpit are also me...
Proof:

I think you'll find a lot of similarities! :nod

[Oryx Crake]

hehe xpand I think he meant that it's spelled Qirex not Quirex so no u in the name XD no one here doubts it's you who created it ;)

[Xpand]

Lol, yeah! My bad... Portuguese grammar got in the way..

Fix'd...

[Xpand]

Sorry for the double post...
Assegai:
2269

[Challenger #001]

Lovely design as always Xpand. Needs a bit more bronze I think for it to be truly Assegai. :)

[Xpand]

Thanks! Yeah, I do think so, I even made a yellowish glass, but I guess I have to add some bronze in the intake.

Fix'd...

[SaturnReturn]

I really like that one. I have no idea why, but sometimes seeing these reminds me of the first time I saw my Dad's R/C model catalogue. It had these amazing looking R/C speed boats, and I think that was the first time I saw a Dodge Viper too - just a polycarbonate body shell on an R/C car, but just as cool as the real thing at the time. Bit random, but just thought I'd share the feeling. :P

Keep up the good work.:+

[Challenger #001]

I think we'd all think you were wierd if you didn't like Vipers, Saturn. ;)

Who's next Xpand? Triakis?

[Xpand]

Thanks!
Well, I'm thinking about Triakis or Piranha. I think those are the last ones, along with G45.

[MetaKraken]

What about Auricom?

[Xpand]

Ah, right! I knew I was forgeting something.. Thanks!

[WolfKill01]

I'd be ok with a Van-Uber, too :lol

[Challenger #001]

How about a Tigron as well? :P

[Xpand]

Yeah, yeah... we'll see.. :P

[Xpand]

Please tell me this looks like a piranha:
2270

Done:
2271

[MetaKraken]

Nice! :D

[Challenger #001]

Looks good. :) Kinda like the HD/Pulse one but with the widened nose you saw on the Fury Ship. Nice touch - though could benefit from being longer.

[Oryx Crake]

thats the prettiest piranha I've seen in a long damn while...

[Xpand]

Thanks!

[yeldar2097]

o_Oh wow these are so lovely. Mmm I want to see them in-game :g

Great stuff Xpand, admirable work :+

[Xpand]

Eheh, thanks!
I'm making the G45 concept drawing...

[SaturnReturn]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! G-45!!!!!!! Please make this one especially awesome.:D

[jesse9705]

these ships are really good,keep it up:clap

[Xpand]

Thanks!
Hey Saturn, what do you think of this one? :g
2281

[WolfKill01]

That looks fantastic :+ Although I personally liked pure's goteki design better then the double hull. But that'sm just me :g

[Xpand]

Thanks! I was to make one similar to pure's, but then I decided to stay with this one...

[SaturnReturn]

It kind of reminds me of HD's Qirex a little teeny bit, i.e. a bit more curvy. Which is cool, but at the same time not what I'd expect. However, once it's done up in the G-45 colours though I think that association will be wiped from my mind. Am sure it will be awesome indeed.:+

[Xpand]

Here it is:
2282

I can change the color scheme if you want, just give me a few sugestions...

[SaturnReturn]

No need to change anything IMO. Looks badass.:D

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

Possible to put the pictures on the DA WipEout group? :D

[Xpand]

=D Thanks!
Yes you may put this on DA, along with a little credit! :P

[Flint Fandango]

Amazing! All of your creations are excellent, especially the G45! :clap
Dynamic and powerful - this design convinced me at first sight!

I´d love to see a Puma 1, my favourite ship in PurE...:g

[Xpand]

Thanks! I'll make the original Wipeout ships, and then I'll move to less known ones.
In the end I'll post links to the HQ images...

[Flint Fandango]

It´s very nice that you consider the less known teams!
Thanks in advance, I´m looking forward to see your oeuvre in HQ!

[jesse9705]

I havn't seen much progress in this thread, And its sad Because i like to see your work D:

[Xpand]

I haven't had the time or the will to make them... :redface:

[ag assassin]

Well Ive been on this site for a while but why have you stopped I wanted to see if you made a TIGRON design:(

[Amaroq Dricaldari]

Nice! If there were ever a game about the FX500, this is probably what the ships would look like. A shame that this was meant for the FX200/FX250/JX200

Also, I noticed that you used the FX400/FX350 FEISAR logo.

Edit: You should change all of the pictures so that the camera is viewing the ships from an angle rather than from the side. And when you make your Van-Uber model, I want it to have some inspiration from the Rifter in EVE Online.

[dreadofmondays]

Did you learn design? Those look perfect :O Nice, clean and crisp lines. Fantastic!

[Amaroq Dricaldari]

The AG Systems ship is missing.

Edit (Clarification): The link is invalid
Re-Edit: It is working now.

[NeroIcaras]

I don't like Dodge Viper :) Bad handling, i'd take a Porsche Cayman GT4 any day...

[dreadofmondays]

wehn ur hom along on a fridey night???
juts remember...
aAAAAAA
