GDI Dusk harvester, mark 2
..or as Harv would say, "the voxel has been pimped"
What first started as a scaling down of Dregan's original nod harvester turned into a complete remake, from scratch - our styles clash too much I guess
pic updated:
This pic is a progression picture, from the start of this voxel till its finish - I like to keep track of the changes that I've made.
The last frame is my harvester next to Dregan's, next to the TS original

It reminds me a bit of a freaky Yuri unit. Why does it have a grinder type mechanism at the front? that doesn't look like it can suck. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT

There is a difference between harvesting plant matter and crystals, though... _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT
Its a little too black for me. I'd like it in the retro Nod silver. _________________ Comcast: Yo dawg we herd yo were downloading, so we put fail in yo modem so yo cant download while yo failin! QUICK_EDIT

Well I wanted to stick true to the original design as much as possible, as I intended it to be just a straight resize..
But as I kept working, I made a few changes here and there.
Blame Dregan for the Lasher-esque grinder on the front

Aro, think about military reasons when building units. People don't seem to think about it and usually think fancyness, which is silly. Sure it looks cool, but, is it practical?
A gigantic grinder isn't practical, at all. Can't suck up Tiberium at all, looks like it'll make Tiberi-mush and chew up some soldiers, maybe. Its useless otherwise. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT

And what about, 30 Foot Mechs?
I See what you mean though. It Looks cool, though it shouldn't be on a harvester. But yeah, Maybe you're right. QUICK_EDIT

I like the right one better. It looks more nod with it's curves and whatnot. _________________ "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there." -Adam Young QUICK_EDIT

Thirty foot mechs are awesome. They make up for their inpracticality in intimidation and epicness.
Well, some do. The original TS ones? Not so much. QUICK_EDIT

30 Foot mechs I hate even more, Aro. You should know I hate them. Outside of Metal Gears, the only GDI one I like is the Juggernaut. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT

I Keep forgetting that you're Carno.
Anyway, With the grinder, It could be useful while harvesting Tiberium afterall. Possibly grind the tiberium into smaller pieces, so it's easier to suck into the hopper.
(For the stupid people, a hopper is a large container on a vehicle) QUICK_EDIT

That'd probably be done inside the harvester, less wasteful to suck in full Tiberium and then grind it where you're sure there'll be no loss. Although, the fact the planet is covered with the stuff could probably invalidate this. QUICK_EDIT

I agree, but you forgot coolness. And about the original TS mechs, just the Titan (though not the ingame sprite).
Anyways, Team Black, I agree with daTSchikinhed, however I think if you could make the front of your harvester look like the front of Dregan's harvester, it would be epic win (in other words the back of your harvester is better )
Right now, your harvester looks like an old modified truck (something that I would expect from other faction, not from Nod) QUICK_EDIT

Ahh, Good point. I Never thought of that one. QUICK_EDIT
Looking much better than the grinder style, Team Black. I Reccomend making the 'Hair clipper thingy' a bit darker, and then it'll be Immense! QUICK_EDIT

Don't forget: I need the brotherhood's model to be equip with 3 large cup holders for all that modder dew . Otherwise the new one looks not too shabby. _________________
Oh, fuggerbuggerrit! QUICK_EDIT
what was wrong with grinders in the first place? Initially the break the crystals into small peices, and then directly under the cockpit thre could have been a vacuum which sucked up thee small, broken free, crystals. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

I have to say that both are improvements to TS standard harvesters, however I agree with carno Nod's harvester looks too bulky. And GDI's harvester looks bad. Maybe looking other designs would be better (Dune harvesters, or TW harvesters). QUICK_EDIT

I've made so many edits to these it's not funny.
As much as I'd like to spend 1000 hours accommodating to everyone's desires, but there's plenty more I need to do for this mod.

Hm. I see making constructive criticism leads to being personally attacked and being accused of loving lol HITLER indirectly. (Cute typo darling. :3 :3)
