  • What?
So I thought I would show everyone the current progress in motion. I narrated it to explain the directions I took with the Sath and what I like about it, and what I am working on.

I think I'll call REAL Mahjong 'Chinese Dominoes', just to make people think I'm an ignorant asshat.

The trenches are present in the retail Sath, but they are now made to be pretty.

The gap on the top of the nose still bothers me immensely, but everything else is incredible.

I can't even tell there's a gap...

 
My (personal) minor gripe is that the red circles on the texture feel kind of un-Shivan. Maybe it's just me, but I can't recall any Shivan vessel that has circles like that - it's all more angular, spiky.
But since so much of it is done already, and given that the rest of the model and texture is real class, I can live with it.

Thanks for working on this.
If you want to be ready for Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn, then download and play the prologue first.

Then, while waiting for the Darkest dawn, Download Starshatter 4.02

My only complaint is that this looks fascinating, a characteristics the original sath doesn't have!

This is a frakking masterpiece.  You've created such a legitimately awesome version of the Sathanas.  It has a new sense of scale the original could not provide, and looks 100X more dangerous. 

Massive kudos, Rga_Noris, you are a BAMF.

<Axem>   did anyone catch jesus' birth certificate?
<Nuclear>   and jesus didnt actually give the 5000 their fish...he gave it to the romans and let it trickle down
<Axem>and he was totally pro tax breaks
<Axem>he threw out all those tax collectors at the temple

Esarai: hey gaiz, what's a good improvised, final attack for a ship fighting to buy others time to escape to use?

if there is any consistancy with the Shivans, it's their lack of consistancy - -Norbert-

Another masterpiece from HLP! I just watched your video, honestly I really appreciate hearing about the creative process behind these things and I'd love to hear more of that stuff. I feel like you maybe thought the video was boring but I could listen to that stuff for a long time.

About the Sathanas itself, it's absolutely fantastic, and I have to say I really find your design to be quite disturbing looking. When you showed the front of the ship it really does look like an ugly, hateful thing. I particularly like the arms and of course the detail as you flew over the hull was just gorgeous. I think you captured and exceeded the original intent and atmosphere of the original.

Also was interesting to hear about the star-nuking animation being worked on. If the FS2 cutscenes are ever re-made that would presumably be very useful. Would love to see that last cutscene done with the upgraded models.
