You mean "rewrite the external weapons code"? IIRC, that was discussed before. This isn't the first time this came up.

[Galemp]

Hades, would you consider reworking this model into a high-poly Hamano's Hercules Mark III? You have precisely the right fighter-jet aesthetic and Hercules heritage that this model needs!

[Hades]

I've thought about it and unfortunately I won't be, as there's a couple of remodeled Herc 3s in closed doors so it'd overlap with those unfortunately Plus we (aesaar and myself) started this Herc model to replace the old Herc 2 design in our copies of FreeSpace with something we like, even if it doesn't get into the MVPs.

...there's a couple of remodeled Herc 3s in closed doors so it'd overlap with those unfortunately

...can I have one?

[Dragon]

I'm not sure behind which doors they'd be. The best upgrade I recall seeing for Hamano's Herc was someone adding a cockpit to it.

[Droid803]

Inferno has one that is based on Hamano's, I think? Somehwere along the way it lost four guns though. I don't know what happened.

[Dragon]

Ah, right, looks like it's still around. Rampage would be the one to ask, then (IIRC). But I don't know of "a couple" of remodeled Herc 3s, just this one.

[mr.WHO]

I'm looking forward to that Perseus.

Tha Herc mk.2 is also looking sexy (I was never a big fan of the original Herc.2 other than it's good secondary banks)

[Cobra]

That is one sexy Herc II. I never had the sense of power I did with the original Herc. I still won't but at least it'll look better.

[BirdofPrey]

Oh aren't these too curvy, not curvy enough discussions grand?

Personally, I like this version of the Herc II.  has a bit more of the Human ISO standard spaceship feel, though I can see some call to keep a bit of the curvy FS2 feel to it (I do appreciate the idea of keeping older designs having a more angular design language while newer stuff has more smooth transitions to reflect changing technology and aesthetic tastes, not to mention some Vasudan influence in the GTVA).  Only change I would make as far as that goes, though would be to have the lower section of the front of the weapons pods smoothly transition into the shape of the bottom and at the same time soften the edge where the top meets the upper front of the missile bay.  The edge where the upper and lower sections meet would still look better staying sharp to maintain the definition of the line that carries around from the sides.

Are we ever going to see these textured?

I really like the new block y look  for the Herc and the Perseus it gives it a more muscular and military look rather than flying a space egg or an eggplant I would not mind re-playing the fs2 campaign with this new ships :v  can you do the same with the Erinyes ? that will be super cool  

[Bryan See]

That's cool! Keep up with your good work, Aesaar!

And what of the GTF Aurora seen in Blue Planet? And what about the GTF Myrmidon?

And what about the FS1-era fighters?

[Phantom Hoover]

what about the price of tea in china

[AdmiralRalwood]

What about your family?
What about your God?
What about truth?
What about blood?
What about right?
What about wrong?
What about your future?
What about faith?
What about sin?
What about Hell?
What about death?

Erinyes, Ares, and Myrmidon are all on the list for when we eventually get around to them. The Myrmidon will be a fairly tame one out of all of them because both Aesaar and I mostly like it as-is.

[Dragon]

It'd be good if the Myrmidon was not too reimagined, so that it could be used by Mediavps. The current Myrm is barely an upgrade from the retail one.

[Bryan See]

That was I'm saying. Dragon is right. The Myrmidon is just a minor upgrade from the retail.

[FrikgFeek]

It can be used by the MVPs anyway. Or if the FSU guys decide it's not ugly enough(aka close to retail) you can just swap it in yourself.
