[Excalibur]

If only I could model stuff like that.


*Distant look*


Anyway, nice work!

Suggestion: The B-Wing topic here at HLP suggested actually having the wings be subsystems. Perhaps the same could be done with this, seeing as how both the B-Wing and Lambda shuttle wings merely fold into the craft. Keep in touch with some of the guys over there.

He is, we all hang out and drink every weekend.

But seriously, we're all on IRC mostly.

[Axem]

Yes we do. I do have a fair amount of experience with the subobject animation code, and the moving parts of the Lambda are half the reason I chose it. I'm hoping we get more animation triggers (like arrival, sexp triggered), but at the very least, the Lambda will get animation for docking.

[spartan_0214]

Where's the docking port on a Lambda-class shuttle?

[chief1983]

My guess would be on the bottom of the hull, it's the largest flat surface.  That or under the head but it'd be more awkward.  It may require a hangar though, I don't know.

[Shade]

Would make sense to include one either way. Still need a dock point for, say, boarding craft to pretend cutting through the hull in an entirely innocuous manner.

[Edit] Fixed because chief has a dirty, dirty mind

[chief1983]

For some reason that second sentence sounded dirty in my head.

[Shade]

There, fixed it for you.

[StarSlayer]

If i recall from ye old Xwing and TIE Fighter (emphasis on the and not vs)  when the Lamb would roll up and tractor you in it would haul your EVed body into an airlock on the bottom.  Id also check some of the Wraith Squadron books.  When Myn Donos shoots the bomb trigger with his sniper rifle in Iron Fist or when and EV Kell Tainer gets picked up during the Implacable fight come to mind.

[Scourge of Ages]

It makes sense, most of these ships should have an airlock docking port somewhere on the body. You can't always land inside a Star Destroyer docking bay.

[Snail]

There, fixed it for you.

Just out of... Curiosity, what did it originally say?

[Hades]

Yea I wnt to knoww as well.

[TopAce]

Yea I wnt to knoww as well.

Seconded.

[chief1983]

I don't remember the specifics, but it was something along the lines of coupling and insertion...

[Shade]

Not even that bad All I said was you still needed a docking point for a boarding craft to, here it comes... "do its thing". See? It may have been open to *some* making fun of, but his dirty mind twists it beyond all reason

[Axem]

Four Months Later...

After finding a new batch of refs, finding a job, buying a new computer and playing TF2 day and night, Axem decides to finish the Lambda. Maybe once and for all.

Until he finds better refs.

Excuse the poor rendering, its the best I have right now.






Enjoy the detail, its all gonna get stripped for the ingame model. I like greebling, even if it won't make it to the ingame model. Though it may help with creating a normal map. Who knows?

[chief1983]

[borat]In my country they would pay a lot of money your ship.  (Looks at you-know-who's 'fighter')  His, not so much.[/borat]
