We do some pretty heavy testing before we allow things into the MVPs.

GUESS WHAT POOR INSANE **** IS GOING TO PROBABLY BE DOING THIS ALL OVER THE SHIP oh wait that's me ****

I'll of course sign any fangirl's breasts whe- wait **** there's only dudes around ****

[SirCumference]

May I just say that this new Orion looks totally sick? Well, it does! 

[T-LoW]

I shall show your glorious piece to all my lady friends! (no pun intended)

[Oddgrim]

That's a serious overkill with roundings. It looks almost like a toy.

It actually looks more like it was built instead of modeled, imo. Right angles are also, structurally, less 'powerful' and more prone to breaking under pressure.

Also, update. The back of the rear hangarbar was completely redone to the totally ****ed up proportions. I plan on at least chamfering the edges of that bit, to bring the look of it in line with the chamfers on the rest of the mesh. Also a bunch of other stuff added or proportions fixed.

You just made me gain a whole new level of respect for the Orion Hades, for too long I saw it just as a flying brick with a hangar, now I love it!

*Prepares for inevitable witch hunt*   

Also, don't forget the rounding can be made subtle with a good texture Kobrar.

[SypheDMar]

Looks like an Orion. I don't mind the roundness, but it'd be nice if there were more sharp edges in some places  like the hangar.

Overall, well done. Anything is better than what we currently have.

[Kolgena]

Well, the current HTL Orion isn't THAT bad. This one is still quite a nice upgrade though.

I don't have any complaints. It keeps the original's feel while adding details that visually make sense. I can't wait to (eventually) see the textures on this thing.

[T-LoW]

What's that? I need some thick cables so I can complain about this model! But nope. No complains. Just awesomeness.

[Kolgena]

Actually, on second look, the bricks are too heavy. Change it.

Also, turrets are too salty.

A lot of empty plates just screaming for details. Mounts for beams are not a good idea, due to necessity of making other version for FS1-era Orions. A lot of the polys are just worthless roundings everywhere, they killing character of the model and don't have anymore purpose, and... Where are the antennas?

[SypheDMar]

He said he was gonna make two versions. I think it looks pretty awesome. I can't really tell what's changed without a comparison shot from the last version, but that might be the point. Thumbs up

It's ok, most everyone who posts work in this subforum ignore Betrayal anyway.

[Hades]

SDM is also right in that I forgot to mention what changed; the large armor plates on the right and left side near the bottom rear had their trim detailing modeled in (and in the case of the one on the left of the ship, I redid the entire thing too)

EDIT: http://p3d.in/MZUjq Also, newer version with some details added. Left the earlier one up that is about 5 posts above so people can see the differences.

[MLCBotMan]

excellent work so far, but i do have two questions.

1.) are you going to put the forward pointing antenna arrays on the lower hull? (probably a dumb question)

2.) Is there going to be a portside nameplate area like on the bobbau's (if that's the right one) orion?

[Hades]

1) Yes.

2) Yes.
