EDIT: Download re-enabled now that the size problem is fixed. :yes2::D:yes:

The GVF Shu is now available for download.

Type: Advanced Space Superiority
Maneuverability: Good
Armor: Average
Manufacturer: Akheton Corporation

Developed by Akheton Corp. to replace the aged Thoth, the GVF Shu is seeing rapid deployment throughout the Vasudan navy. Although not as agile as the Serapis, the Shu has a higher survival rate thanks to its heavier armor and shields.  Superbly balancing speed, maneuverability, armor, and loadout, the Shu is a match for any hostile fighter. Able to perform a variety of functions, its versatility has already proven invaluable in the current conflict, and the fighter is expected to remain in service for many years to come.

Fills a niche in the Vasudan navy, providing them with a Myrmidon equivalent.  Not quite as powerfully armed as the Myrmidon, but has the usual Vasudan superiority of engine performance and maneuverability.

This thing looks awesome! It really has the Vasudan architectural feel to it and it appears to be quite nicely balanced. There might actually be a place at the end of my PI campaign where I could use this; is that okay with you? (you will get credit for that)

It's a Vasudan TIE Phantom!

Looks nice :)
Only real problem I have with it is that it doesn't..feel..Vasudan. It's more a Terran design.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

The main body does look more Terran than Vasudan. Actually it reminds me a lot of the Zerg Scourge from Starcraft. But it is l33t :D

For a Vasudan Myrm equivalent, tho, I prefer the GVF Heptu, it has 6 guns. And it would compete quite well with the Shu, since it's made by Akheton's competitor, the Sahr Corp.

IIRC, also, Sahr makes the Thoth, not Akheton.

Looks pretty Vasudan to me, actually; the curves and textures are very well done in my opinion.

nope, alikshi's right, but as i'm not a SW freak I won't expand on that ;)

yeah, it does look great ( only thing I might discuss is the cockpit, vasudan fighters have no "separated" cockpits, they're usually part of the hull, w/o any distinctions save for the "glass" )

cool, but you may try to lighten up the "body" maps, and maybe try other colors (green would be better in my opinion)
you could also add some "wires" to connect laser cannons to the body in order to have a mix of tech and organic
oh, you also may try to change the borders of the panels on rear of the wings, they are too "separated" from the organic textures (they are dark while the rest of the wings is yellow)

the only things it has in common with td are the "tri-style" design and the frontal cockpit
it is much more similar to a tie phantom, look:

but personally it remembers me more the zerg "flyers" (cant remember the name) (edit: probably was "mutalisk" but not sure)

I thought it looked like an-upside-down advanced Anubis.

And it looks good, very Vasudan. It renders quite nice too.

Sesq, you've heard it before on many occasions, but this time I'm not gonna say it again.

I'm not.

God, I didn't think suppressing the urge to praise you modding work again would be so hard... :doh:

Still, I'm man enough to give credit where credit is due! ;) :D

Excellent work, as always, Sesqy. I think the Reshef and the Shu will work nicely in my campaign. Appropriate credit will be given, of course. :)

Think I could use it in the Combat Federation project? We need models, and this is an awesome Vasudan intercepter. Would look nice with a couple of our new weapons shooting out of it. If anyone could make .ani's for the weapons, that would be great. we need those also.
