It's a start.

It's very good start:nod:

[Jetmech Jr.]

Is that the Faustus? It's very, very good

[Col. Fishguts]

Nice  keep it up

[Striker]

Looks like a shivan cargo container (the one that goes on the asmodeus) after something crashed into the bottom and bent it....or the front of a Faustus.

[Col. Fishguts]

It's pretty obvious that it IS in fact the Faustus. The round thingy on the side is in the [V] texture.

[Nuke]

might look cool if wou did some alpha effects on the solar array. but then theres that problem with the subobjects rendering first.

[Lightspeed]

Not a bad start

[DaBrain]

That's what I call a start.

Indeed













...what the heck is it?

[Jetmech Jr.]

It's the Front section of the Faustus.

Are you gonna make a little more of an indentation for the so-called docking bay?

ooh, I totally forgot about that. Let me find it.

[Striker]

Isn't the docking station that little round thing you already have?

Those are the docking ports, where ships like transports will actually dock to.  The docking bay is basically a fighterbay, located at the rear ventral of the forward segment.  It isn't used in any [V] campaigns, and considering the small size of the Faustus, most would rather pretend that its not there, but that would shut it out for any campaign that intends to use that bay.

[Striker]

wow Faustus? docking BAY? makes no sense to me but ok

[Galemp]

It's used in FS1, when the Shivans first appear. The crippled GTSC Plato launches escape pods that jump out at the node. That's all they're good for, but it's still very useful sometimes.

[NGTM-1R]

Edit: Galemp beat me to it.

So far, very nice.


Could also be useful for a special-ops sort of campaign, rather like how in Wing Commander II's special ops campaigns you were often flying from a freighter with your fighter lashed onto the side.

[Grimloq]

i always thought that little 'fighterbay' thing was a little bay where they could launch probes out of... or escape pods

[StratComm]

That's precisely what it is, but it still needs to be there because the game doesn't differentiate between an EP and a fighter.  Whether or not it gets modeled in is another matter, but I'm of the opinion that any detail is good detail.
