Because The Aiinsari and Lao Tze are not made by Steve-O AFAIK?
I donno who made the Aiinsari, but the current Lao Tze is a HEF Blizzard by Vengence. Both of which look rather out of place with the rest of the UEF fighters which otherwise look very similar.
The Blizzard was designed with autoaim/autoconverge in mind, I feel, and it works fine when it has those. But that's neither here nor there, it's not by Steve-O and it doesn't really need to be re-made at all. I don't get why you're talking about those two in this thread. This is not the BP forum yo.
and please stop using the BP names outside of the BP forum, show a bit of respect to the people who made it and named it originally you know?
I would love to see an optimized remake of the MiG though. It's a cool ship, and I'd love to see it back as the Lao Tze in BP.
Ah, that would explain a lot. As for the names thing--I simply didn't know who/what the originals were or were by, but I had to convey what I was referencing somehow.
I brought up the other UEF fighters because this thread is titled 'Federal Navy revision project'--I thought the other Federal fighters were on-subject, but I guess I was mistaken about that; sorry. Do I understand correctly, that Steve-O made (or was a primary creator of) these models and is doing a remake of most/all of them? I vaguely recall the original names for the Uhlan, Kent, and Uriel being something like Lancer, Jackal, and Wraith, but I can't remember if those were simply old names or the original models.
I've never heard of the Nighthawk as a model before, so thanks for clearing that up (Doesn't look bad at all, just kind of clashes a bit with the aesthetic of the other UEF craft); I'm curious about where it has been used beforehand.
Also, I forgot to mention before: the new models/looks of the various missiles and missile pods look amazing. Really helps to give the various weapons (in any mod) some memorable character, in a way.
