The engines seem odd to me. Are you going to have multiple thruster glows, or keep the big one?
I'm hoping to have neither and instead an effect that complements this type of engine assortment much better than our awful engine sprites.

Modeled thrusters is actually a promising option here, there's a lot more you can do with them than the sprites and particle thrusters just aren't feasible now or in the near future.
Why are particle thrusters not feasible?

Current particle performance isn't too good, particles outright disappear from at certain ranges, clipping errors, etc.

Certainly keeping my status as a lurker (and thus, silent connaiseur) but here I beg to differ, these round nozzles VA suggested here http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/VA--Twisted_Infinities/Fenris/FenrisRear.jpg
are certainly more what I expect thrusters to be. Just move the outer hoses inside the rim... any way I'll accept whatever comes included with vps 14...

Been too long since an update! The rear is p much finished detail-wise, the front is a placeholder, and the middle is next. I may put this on hold until I finish the Orion mesh.

I like what you did on the engine part, anyone that brings the "it's too detailed for a part that's gonna be covered by engine glow" theme can go to hell.

Considering how frequently these things get disabled, I'd say we'll get a lot of time to admire the engines. :)

For some reason the "shaded" option shows as black for me :( Anyone know a fix? On Firefox (whatever the latest), ATI gpu.

Is it like that for everyone, or just me? Is there a proper fix?

I get the black surface as well, is as if the plugin is not loading any light sources or something like that.

Switch to X-ray view, it works ok.

"I found a problem, what do I do?

    My Models look black on my ATI graphics card.
    This issue is solved by updating the ATI drivers, also know as Catalyst™."

Found that on their site. If your drivers are already updated, then I have no idea. :(

Why put the launcher tower on a hinge?
Anything worth doing is worth analyzing to death -Iranon

 
having the launcher tower like it is able to aim 360 degrees bearing and about 200 degrees elevation

Matches retail

Edit: I see what you mean but I think it's just style. besides he's working on the middle next so it is definitely not the finished product yet

I have an ATI gpu, and I get no black models. All drivers up-to-date...

I would say it's not driver or video card related.

I used the plugging on an ati and on an nvidia machine as well and both yielded the same results, with updated drivers.

again, switch to x-ray, you can see the details that way.

On the last 12.X catalyst for Radeon 3000 HD series GPU (before support for them got scrapped a few months back) and the latest release build for FF. No issues here.

Did you play around extensively with settings in the FF control panel?

VasudanAdmiral did that. I don't have the wit for such mechanical engineering!

Why put the launcher tower on a hinge?
It's not really a hinge. It's more of a stylistic sort of idea that popped into my head and I said "Well jolly, might as well try it!".

Thought it looked alright so I kept it.
