The Ares has always been so underrated. I'm glad it got the upgrade it deserved.  :yes:

At long last, the Ares gets its new coat of paint. Sexy Spud.

So we have a preview download ready; how long until the final deal is ready?  ;7

I'm just waiting on a screenshot that shows the Ares' new golden canopy window.  :cool:

Re: The Highest Definition Potato
The download there is what I submitted to mjn and the team. They may find a problem with it and fix it, so that's why this is a preview version. And this does have a golden canopy, but I made it a very reflective gold, that reflects the black of space more than the gold it's actually colored with... That could be fixed if mjn wants it changed.

Doing God's work buddy. It's one of my favorite ships in the game, and this remake is incredible.

Re: The Highest Definition Potato
The first time I played FS2, I failed to noticed that this vessel exists at all. They just silently introduce new fighters at the end for whatever reason...    Erinyes has a spotlight, but nothing else.

I always wondered what the storz of the Artemis D.H. and Ares was exactly here...

Re: The Highest Definition Potato
Both the Artemis DH and Ares are missable; they are allowed to the player as rewards for playing the SOC loops

Re: The Highest Definition Potato
Dark Horse, I guess, considering the D.H. is supposed to be more maneuverable (but isn't) in retail; it was probably planned to be better than Artemis but the minimal visual difference would have made those better stats a suprise
