Orion Phase 2 is now in-game testing!
However,
 - Not yet full turretted.
 - Not yet done other LODs and debris.
 - Not yet done paths.
 - Not yet done engine glow.
 - Not yet .......
Many things to do remain.

Great work as usual man! Congrats

Now see, THAT is how you update an Orion and make it look good. You other "Orion Update" makers take note.

I found that targetting blacket is placed in bad position....
I have to use dummy sub object to correct....??
Hmmm....
The way is long and winding.

akema****e omedetô, hamano

Did you break it into subobjects? If yo did, make sure the main one reaches all the extremities of the ship, coz the bounding box will fit that.

[Unknown Target]

The ONE thing I would suggest is, could you make that "revolver" up front, like, one super-powerful beam or something?

Anyways, it's still spectacular work, good job!

[Shinobi]

Good work, I've been waiting on this one for ages . Do you have any shots of the beam cluster thingy firing?

No, it's something like 7 beams together. If they all fire at the same target, it's the same, tho, I suppose.

very cool:yes:

[Flipside]

The model is great, not 100% certain on the texture for the front gun thing, but great work nonetheless

[SadisticSid]

Would look great without the stupid chaingun.

[Hamano]

Thanks Nico,
I broke mainhull into 4 subobjects.
The blacket looks only covers center subobject.
I will try to change these subobjects.

And...Japanese new year greetings.

That thing kicks ass

[StratComm]

Hamano, if you want to use the fewest possible polygons (6), simply make a box around the model with the invisible texture.  A very similar trick is used with the Triton transport, so that you get a bounding box around the container as well as the transport.  All you have to do is remember to set the "no collide invisible" flag in the ships.tbl entry.

[Nico]

Not that the bounding box is annoying there, it's centered and all, actually, I think it's nice the way it is right now.

[Ashrak]

i love thosae cluster cannons

[Hamano]

Thanks StratComm.
Targetting blacket issue solved.
I placed dummy 4 cubes at front end, rear end, and left and right.
These cubes are painted with invisible, and placed inside of hull.
So flags not required.

New Images: Fire!

I take it it's meant for killing things.
