It always had a nose, but ok.

More of a nose, then; the other one wasn't nearly as pronounced.

Dunno what you're talking about, the old one was like a nose that starts way too high on the forehead, which was fairly ugly.

[NGTM-1R]

It's bigger.

And now you're agreeing with me it's more facey?

Talking about the old one, bro.


And you don't know a single damn thing you're talking about.

[NGTM-1R]

Talking about the old one, bro.

So let's see.

You said the old one had the nose start up the forehead. And I got that.  You indeed claimed you fixed that fact. So now it looks more like a face because it starts lower, which is more like a face.

And it's definitely more distinct; it's raised higher and it's not as broad, drawing more attention by the fact that it's not the vast majority of the front end. So it looks more like a nose.

So apparently, you're just lying.

[Mars]

. . . Seriously?

Let Hades build the model. If it has a face, and you don't like it, you have a perfectly usable model that's been around for ages.

It does kind of look like a scowling angry face, and it does kind of look like a battering ram, and I fail to see why either of those is a problem.

I don't actually have much of an opinion on the subject, except that Hades makes giggleworthy attempts to misrepresent things.

If you want to know what I think is actually beyond merely amusingly silly to actively weird about this, it's that large sections have been scooped out of the armor plate on parts of the ship that would be facing the enemy while it engages.

You post seemed to indicate that you thought I was talking about my own with the 'So you agree with me that it's more facey?' which is why I pointed that out.

Yeah, because I actually see more of a nose in the older model than mine, that makes me a liar? K.

Based on the context of the discussion, whether or not it has the appearance of a face is not important. Furthermore, trying to prove whether or not Hades was lying about fixing said appearance is even less important. Instead let's please continue meaningful discussion about the model.

I expect to see no further posts on this current train of thought.

[Zacam]

Agreed. No WIP thread should start having multiple splits from it, that's just....*sighs*

Really liking the progress so far. Starting to look more like a war machine that means business and serves a purpose rather than a (albeit good looking) cardboard construct.

[Liberator]

Indeed, looking forward to seeing the completed mesh and texture!

[Trivial Psychic]

This may be too far along in the design process to be relevant, but in the original, the central strip of the forward dorsal is raised above the outer portions.  You could perhaps retain this feature in your upgrade by raising the portions inboard of the groove, which houses the the turrets, or by dropping the outer portions to achieve the same effect.  I also feel that the groove is a bit too wide, but these are just my opinions.

[Buckshee Rounds]

That part of the model was cut off. That's where all those windows would be.

Are those coming back at some point?

I would assume so since being able to hide in that wee spot alters the balance somewhat. I think I actually prefer it without the windows all scrunched up in there, the current HTL looks really messy in that area, something I hope Hades can rectify.

Darn, I wish I could do that! Too bad that I have dial-up! ;p

[Firstdragon34]

If I had Cable, I would gladly download SCP and FS0, but for now I'll just be the spectator that enjoys your hardwork!

Holy hell bro, there's places in Somalia that have freaking broadband!

[Mongoose]

It's never really happened, but there's been talk in the past about setting up a torrent for official releases, which would really help people with crappy connections.  In the meantime, Firstdragon, if you have any friends who have broadband, hand 'em a flash drive and make 'em download for you.

If you guys want ship ideas, I'm your man, but could some one post a picture of the HTL Rahksasha. I hear it is quite extraordinary.

Dude, it has it's own thread just a few doors down. Stop with the derails.

[Firstdragon34]

I visited it very recently, but the picture was removed by someone else. I'm sorry if I move off topic. I wish I knew more about your guys HTL language.

I'm also very new here as well.
