I agree, I don't think the dishes on the original model were quite that small.

Dishes are bigger than the retail ones, bros, just the bases have the bit connected to them beefed up which warps perception.

@Hades

First I like your new Orion model.
IMHO the outlines of the ship are more clear, the old one looks very odd from certain angles.

Second I like also the look of the new Demios model, except on thing.
The old HTL model looks like they mount thick plates of armour on the bug and upper side of the ship, and those plates are separated by a rift. 

It reminds me of spaced armour: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_armour

IMHO those "armour plates" look better than the windows on your Demios.

One of the things to keep in mind is that you are referencing an HTL version that wasnt done by Volition, so that concept, while cool looking, isnt necessarily and original feature from the original Deimos.

Also keep in mind that this isn't the Deimos thread  :P

To be fair, it's kind of both now as I had posted Deimos and stuff in here, so it fits in.

Still need to redo the radar dishes, do the light turrets, antennae, and finish up some detailing here and there as well as the engine subsystem.

Looks really good, though the underside is a bit bland (I assume that's the unfinished area).
Can't wait to see it finalized.

Looking good!  :yes:

However, one request, is it possible to have animated launch bay doors? :nervous:

That's a possibility. I'll get that looked into as soon as I get my computer recovered from the format I had to do today.

**** sucks man, I don't give a damn if the original did or not.

Perhaps, perhaps. It's not really something that ever comes into play in the actual gameplay, however, so I don't think so.

I think Orion mainhall inside is kinda necessary, considering almost all new models have it in some form these days. That's a nice eyecandy, I think they're an important addition, making mainhalls much less abstract.
Also, it'd be a nice idea to add doors, just make sure the ship also looks good with them removed. There are missions in which this could be a potential problem, but it's much easier to remove the doors later than to add them.

I don't think it's so important to add mainhalls to the ingame modeld ships because there's rarely ever a time in gameplay where you see them or go inside of the hangarbay to see them, and would frankly be wasted time and polygons that I feel would be better spent on the hull or not on the model at all.

Right. I mean WHO in there right mind would model a detailed fighter bay? Especially in ships like the Orion... or Arcadia...

The Arcadia is different though. It's a stationary object that one does fly around and close to the fighterbay in a few missions, plus the fighterbay isn't as deep into the mesh as an Orion's would be.

I would have also preferred a modeled fighterbay, but, I would rather the extra detail be elsewhere, where it is more visible and prominent. So, animated bay-doors would be nice. (you could add a rough mainhall texture behind the door to give the illusion of an actual bay?).

Realistically, you'd need two doors, with space inbetween enough for any fighter or bomber craft, for the hangarbay. That way, when launching, the door closer to the inside opens, the fighter goes in, it closes, air is sucked out of the room so that it isn't lost to space, and the outside door opens, and the fighter exits.

Yeah, but REALISM, IN MA FREESPACE :hopping:!?

More seriously though, how would you explain the mainhalls of the Orion, they clearly have a big wide gaping hole through the hull of the ship. While you can argue that the mainhall is just an observation room/maintenance are of the ship with a big window, It doesn't explain the Vasudan mainhall/Psamtik/Hattie.
