Nice as everything James...äh Lynx.

Paktahn is about 30 meter, I think...

the kilrathi carrier should be about 950 m

@Lars: another high priority task just came in: I would like to have the new interface implemented first... perhaps even new weapon effects. This will delay the build 0.9 until further notice.

[gevatter Lars]

Well bevor I can play someone has to look at my problems...I can't get the thing running.....where is FT when I need him?

[Tolwyn]

just clean your registry... it is simple

[Tolwyn]

Superior to the Confederation’s Longbow, the Paktahn torpedo bomber carried the heaviest torpedo loadout of any ship during the last year of the Kilrathi War. This ship's heavy shields, overwhelming gun and missile weaponry, and menacing rear turret made this ship a highly effective bomber that could be pressed into service as a “missile boat” if needed. Many Confed carriers and cruisers met their doom at the hands of a Paktahn pilot. It's only apparent weaknesses are its long, unprotected flanks, and its lack of more missile decoys.

Looks awesome.  That Kilrathi carrier looks as menacing as ever...regardless of the straight lines...its very deadly looking.  I think Origin did a good job with everything on the Kilrathi during WC3.

Laser effects for WC3/4 ships would be easy methinks.  Mostly solid colors...just make sure the colors are right.

Lasers red, mesons green, ions pinkypurple, plasma blue, photon yellowish.  Mmmm...brings back memories of the Thunderbolts massive three punch wallop.  I should reinstall WC3 somewhere

The weapon bolts will be based on WC: Prophecy, as they are the "most modern" forms of bolts avaliable (not WC timeline wise, but game development wise).

However, any weapon that wasn't featured in WC: Prophecy such as the meson blaster, reaper cannon, neutron gun, will stick to their WC3 roots, but upgraded very much.

[Tolwyn]

here is the latest version of the meson bolt:

The meson blaster is a unique, powerful gun that utilises subatomic particles with a short half-life. These particles, called mesons, are accelerated and flung toward a target. The most damage occurs once the particles decay inside the target - they cause internal explosions and give off radiation. Energised shields can stop these particles, and atmospheric conditions render this gun ineffective.

Hard to really tell how it looks since the image is too dark or you have killed the ambient light in the mission (which defeats the mood purposes).  

Try using negative colored light (stars.tbl) which gives awesome mood and dark colors without wiping all the nice textures out.  See the TBP stars.tbl for details

[IceFire]

Ok, I used photoshop to boost the light so I could see it (required +32 points to be nicely visible).  It looks pretty good.  Should look good coming out of Kilrathi and Terran ships alike.

I agree that the WCP bolts look best and that should be a good guideline.

I completed the textures for this one earlier, but haven't shown it here until yet. The  Kilrathi Ralatha class destroyer from Wing Commander 2:

[IceFire]

I am SO making a WC2 campaign just to show off these beauties!  So faithful to the originals and yet so very detailed.  EXCELLENT!

I have to re-create that mission where the pair of Broadswords gets escorted in against a Fralthi with Sartha blasting away and you in your Ferret trying to keep em away.  Except this time quadrupel the number of ships involved.

Mwahahah

[IceFire]

Just out of curiosity, I've seen quite a few WC2 ships....how is the Sabre, Crossbow, and Gothri coming along?

[gevatter Lars]

Sabre and Crossbow looking good...new textures has to be done, but for the models they look great. Special the Sabre whitch is one of my favorite WC2 fighters.
