If you've talked to me on msn, you may have seen some previews of these, (I usually post WIP's as my msn pic)
First off I have Ixith to thank for giving me the ridiculous idea to make these hot air balloons in the first place #Tongue

This is my 15th voxel (if you don't count the multiple versions that I made)
And yea, these took a LOT of work to make, as round voxels are a big pain in the rear. Spotlight would be greatly appreciated Wink

EVA report:
Hot air balloons can be incredibly strategical units.
since they don't use any sort of mechanical engines, they are un-targetable by surace-to-air equipment, save for the Firestorm Defense system.
Unfortunately, they can't function with complete GPS, so they can't reveal shroud, and they only have room enough for a few infantry.
Despite these disadvantages, you might find hot air balloons to be fairly useful
(the code for this is contained in the README file Wink )

The concept:

Absolute genius.

Assault a base by jumping out of a wicker basket #Tongue

Thats some good voxelin man...but...

Why the fu$"£%k would you............one fat AA shell should take care of that... before it could see anything...

But It would be fun diving of it and raiding a base like Daz said.

well the problem with a functional (non-carryall) air transport is that it's invincible during flight (except to firestorm), and that it can't reveal shroud -

thanks for the comments, I totally appreciate it Smile

well, ideally, balloons provide interesting tactics. I mean, with a lack of sophisticated electrical parts, its hardly noticeable by a radar, not to mention the fact that no one will be expecting an attack from an air balloon.

...too bad TS doesn't follow logic.

And hot air baloons.

That would be funny to see that be a carry-all

Little balloon picks up a disrupter XD

Although the idea of having military baloons in 2030 seems a bit insane, I liked it a lot Smile would be nice transport for infantry.

ummm, radar isn't dependent on electronics, radar uses waves to detect objects, much like a bat. and judging by the largeness of the balloon, it's gonna have one hell of a radar signature Laughing

anyways, those are nice voxels, although it would appear that the normals might need a bit of tweaking. that could be hard, however, becaue of the inherent problems with TS normals as well as the fact that it's a circle made of cubes Confused

godd job, keep up the good work Very Happy

I think it deserves a spotlight.

As for usefulness, personally I just see it as civilan units, GDI and Nod versions can be their propoganda machine Cool

maybe a mission -> baloon hunting(like harvester hunting) and you only have a few rocket infantry and there's a timer like 30 min and you have to destroy all baloons
