It's similar to the Callisto now.

Too similar. I don't like.

Some of the similarities with the Callisto were intentional, though I may of gone a bit too far

There's the old mesh next to the new one.

The new one looks much better but it looks too much like the Callisto, maybe increasing the angle a bit will help.

The angle of the bomb bays?

WARNING! BAD ASCII ART FOLLOWS!

Yeah, the Callisto's bomb bays are like:

        |
        | bombay
      _|                         ___
 _ /                           /       \___
 _| cockpit               |         |___ turret
    \_                         \ ___/
        |
        | bombay (not to be confused with mumbai)
        |

And the Apollyon (should) look like this:
    _______
   /
  / bomb bay 2
 |_____
  _____| laser
/
| cockpit
\_____
  ____| laser
 |
  \ bomb bay 1
   \_______

Actually that model already has slanted bays.

Anyway I've decided not to use it as a HTL Apollyon, but as a new bomber class for Pluto to complete the fighter numbers for each fleet. Each group will now have 3 fighters and 4 bombers which are unique to their side. This one will be a strike bomber falling between the Athena and Medusa, basically the same class as the Callisto and Peregrine.

Nice.

Were the Plutonians (for a lack of a better name) pressured into helping Jupiter or did they come to their aid willingly. Same with Uranus and all the other 'minors'.

For Pluto defintely pressure. There's a reason why they use mostly upgraded versions of old tech


The final groupings

I like that, there are some transition era ships and some EA ships, great blend, unlike S:AH which was a mish mash of FS1 and EA ships. Is the Leda a kill-all bomber in INFA2?

The Leda is a specialised bomber. It's the only bomber that carries a new INFA2 only ballistic weapon designed to take out subsystems on larger ships.

Arh shucks, you're also using that craft from the dump?

Second row, third from left? Also doesn't appear to have a cockpit there... I'm guessing that you're finalising the tables first, before editing the mesh? Maybe I should follow that method of modding myself...

As for the screenshot, my mind's wandering off with the notions of "alternate realities" and "far-sighted comparisons" again... :lol:

Melikes. Sets me thinking. :yes2: :) :yes:

I find making cockpits a chore, so I'm leaving it until I'm in more of a mood to do it. It'll get done eventually.

It's strange to me calling a bomber Leda...

Seems that INF:A 2 is in progress.

20%,3%,70%..?!?

Yeah. In the com brief,it is explained. I've chosen Pluto because of its poor defenses. It needs very good pilots to survive even against the Skarn Industries.

I can't give a % for it since I haven't decided how far I'll go with new stuff.

You're right.


We can't discuss about INFA:2 because the community has to play INFA first....umpf...

Uh I've sent the last report without receiving a resp.

Anyway you have to make the changes and UL the package. It seems impossible now.

Unless you send the package via e-mail.
