So what does this mean for the release of INFA?  Is it out then?

I'm waiting on the last tester reports.

*Warily steps out of bunker*

Cool.

[Woomeister]

[asyikarea51]

What the...

Interesting though... Sheesh, now I wonder what the original Ares'd Apollo would look like...

Apollo mania... haha... 

[Snail]

Yay for Apollos. They're probably the best Terran design, too bad they didn't get more attention.

[Woomeister]

Well there's a new one now

Now I have to try and map that inteceptor this evening.

[Snail]

IIRC, there was also GTF Orpheus?

[Woomeister]

Yeah but that wasn't suitable for INFA2, especially with DH maps.

[Snail]

Of course.

[Woomeister]

[Woomeister]

Oh and here's the entire 'FS1 era' collection:

[Snail]

Wow.

Very good, I'm assuming the huge Ursa thing is the Zelos. I really like the way you've skinned the heavy Interceptor thing. If you're going to be making equivalents, how about making another Maahes variant for the Zelos? And I see the Valkyrie got Angel-style maps now? Everything looks very spiffy, Woo, keep it up!

Are you going to be making equivalents?

[Woomeister]

If you mean for the Shivan/Vasudan additional stuff then no, as the INFA2 stuff can't be run at the same time right now due to lack of table space.

[asyikarea51]

Oh noes no Ares Apollo!!!1!!1!!111 Just joking. XD

I don't know if I'm in for the interceptor's textures. That papery feel...

Maybe I should learn how to model stuff once I've got more free time. Antaeus(sp?) is on my mind right now...

But overall I like the FS1 era fleet. Yayzor.

[Woomeister]

My Antaeus is a rather basic mesh, which made it quite difficult to map as there wasn't any real detail on it. I wouldn't like to try and HTL that one

[Snail]

I actually really like the new designs you just churned out, Woo. They're FS1-style, but you can see some of the curves and smoothness creeping in, and you can see how everything will evolve from GTA to EA.

[asyikarea51]

My Antaeus is a rather basic mesh, which made it quite difficult to map as there wasn't any real detail on it. I wouldn't like to try and HTL that one

I dunno.

I just find it odd that it's too... simple... and the size isn't really there compared to the original Hercules. On the other hand, the Herc II at least had some size... Its presence, so to speak. But yes, all in all I like the fleet.

I should try drawing out my idea of an Antaeus if I've got time. Could be tricky though, the fighters I'm accustomed to drawing won't fit well with the FS universe...

[Woomeister]

Well the Antaeus has limited secondary capacity with only one bank of missiles, and flys a lot better than the Herc, so it didn't need to be bulky.

[asyikarea51]

Better than the Herc II to justify its small size? (genuinely sorry if I sounded rude here )

Probably just me who finds oddities in size and detailing... but then again my comp isn't some uberleet PCIx9999999999 whatnot with teraterateraterabytes of hard disk space to support crazy graphic levels...

EDIT: Now I'm thinking about the Angel/Valkyrie series. The people behind those two fighters allied with the EA to create the Stentor perhaps? A mini-campaign idea there meguesses...

[Woomeister]

Don't know I didn't base the Antaeus stats on the Herc 2.

My pc has an ATI 9200SE which is a pretty outdated card, and it'll run all those ships in those shots fine.
