[Titan]

He's tied to a chair in my room until he reveals the location of his hidden hard-drive.

Titan, that's gross...

... wow. I meant terrorist, not pedophile in a ramshackle ice cream truck.

then you failed.

What?

Moving on - noone has contact with Raginloli?

[Alan Bolte]

I guess he doesn't feel it's finished enough to release. I managed to contact him, but all he said in reply was:

I currently have difficulty motivating myself to work on it, so it is on ice for the time being.

[Snail]

Well, at least he's still in contact.

[Droid803]

Ok, good, so it's not completely dead.

[ragingloli]

So I finally managed to get some motivation and continue working on the ship.
It's just a minor update though. Made the sensor array and redid the fighterbay texture as well as modify the geometry a bit.

The sensor array:


The thing on the other side that has no actual use:


The reskinned fighterbay. I added a tubular structure at the side with crystalline windows:


Emphasis on luminance map:

[Commander Zane]

UBER!

[Dragon]

Really impressive, keep it up, Ragingloli.

[Mongoose]

That fighterbay is just...ridiculous.

[Woolie Wool]

Oh my god...you put the Vasudan mainhall into the ship.

You're a hero.

[Rodo]

He's back!!

I like the sensor array.. reminds me somewhat of the Setekh, I'm also loving your background image.

QFT. The sensor array is awesome for borrowing structures from the vasudan AWACS

[Bobboau]

I'm not sure, it doesn't seem to really 'flow'.
I'm assuming that is the location of the sensor array in the retail model?

[Galemp]

Just please please please post a copy of the model file itself here, even if it's not done. Just in case!!

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Nice! Please keep it coming, ragingloli

And yes, a backup would be good, in case you would somehow suddenly disappear...

[Alan Bolte]

  It's an ear. A giant, metal, awesome ear.  

How will the lighting inside the bay work in practice? There's no self-shadowing, so will it be lit as though the feature is external? That is, if you have a single bright red sun and no ambient light in the mission, will one side of the bay be lit red and the other be in darkness except for the glow map?

Is there some feature for interior lighting that I'm not familiar with? I'm trying to remember how the Karnak worked.

I vote for baked glowmaps, although that will probably not get rid of the star lighting. I think that's how the Karnak works too.

[Snail]

Understatement of the century: Looks good.

[MatthTheGeek]

This Hatshep is getting closer and closer to Covenant designs from Halo. But I always thought Vasudans designs to be close to Covenant's (or the contrary).

Anyway yeah, the sensor thing definately looks like the Vasudan's AWACS. That's a master piece of creative inspiration here, as is the mainhall fighterbay. This thing is gonna be epic when released

Keep up the good work mate. If you lack motivation, just think how big we are awaiting for this, and rest assured you're not gonna disappoint us given the already wonderful job you did here

Can we expect this amount of specialized details for the other subsystems ?

[ragingloli]

Just please please please post a copy of the model file itself here, even if it's not done. Just in case!!

I'll do that. At some later point.
Anyway, I managed to get the engines down to (exactly) 1000 polys triangulated, ergo 8000 for all together.
