And this HTL version of it, looks very nice. :D

Well. The thrusters look a bit off, and I always thought the front of the side pods was larger than the backs.. but if you round off the head of the cocpit, underneath, a little more it'll be excellent. :yes:

Not certain if the thrusters really should be proper cylinders (as apposed to triangular).... :doubt:

yeah the thrusters had stealth baffling that didn't work very well. It was kind of a defining feature of the design. but otherwise, YAY LOKI WITH COCKPIT!

Oh and if it doesn't make the poly count too high, I think the cylinders for the primary and secondary weapons would look cool with a recessed center to make them look more like tubes.

Final thought: do you want the pilot all the way back against the bulkhead or could he be moved farthur forward? A lot of FS fighters have such big glass areas that they seem like they could fit a jacuzzi and the pilot's cockpit under the glass area. I always thought this space went better behind the pilot than in front of him.

Excellent so far. :yes:
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Isn't the cockpit supposed to stick out further then that? It looks like you compacted it a bit...

...Is it just me, or is the cockpit a little... small. I mean, the Loki has always been the smallest fighter save the Pegasus, and that cockpit, namely the person inside, just looks damned small... could we see a comparison shot next to the Herc?

i think the human->ship scale is about right personally :)

I imported the HTL Perseus and scaled it to about the same size (just going off eye). If you compaire the two, the cockpit area for the Loki is way too big.

I'll whip one up.

Doubt if you'd notice when it's textured.

Oh wow. Sexy and beautiful. I'm getting excited with anticipation to see it in-game. :D

Yeah, the Perseus cockpit is really small anyway.  Not a bad looking upgrade (there are some things, like the winglets on the ends of the missile pods, that shouldn't be changed IMHO but they are fairly minor) and certainly quite welcome.

if it doesn't increase the poly count too much, i think the loki would look really good if you smoothed the main body and neck so it had more curved lines than boxy angles.  i'm thinking the only reason the main body's got the boxy sharp angles was because of game and system restrictions. of course, i haven't seen any concept sketches of the loki, just my 2 cents.

should by angular, adds to the feel of the failed stealth project that its meant to be.

the Loki is spot-on IMO. :)
