...seem to be extremely scarce right now. Yes, there are a lot of ship designs being "borrowed"   from other games...Starlancer, Wing Commander, Robotech...but doesn't anyone have any desire to create completely original POFs for fighters? I have spent the last week or so looking everywhere for GTF POF models, and I have managed, aside from the (excellently done) conversion mods, to find a whopping total of...two. And one of them was a sprinkled donut.

Is there no ambition in this direction? Is it too hard somehow? Or am I just looking in the wrong places?  

There has never been a better space sim than FS/FS2. I would have thought that there would be more interest in people adding their own dream fighter to the best game in the genre.

/me drops off soapbox, and wanders off looking for a copy of 3D Studio Max...

Bobboau, bringing you products that work.............. in theory

First, welcome to the HLP Forums Sushi!  

I hear your cry. However, maybe I can help you:

• The AB Zakros, by Bobboau - an Ancient bomber.
  
• The AF Kato, again by Bobboau, this time an Ancient fighter.
  
• The SB Vindhyachal, an advanced Shivan bomber.
  
• The TFFa Chimera, which will feature in Machina Terra - this last one isn't complete yet.
  
  Hope that helps... though there still aren't many new models for fighters. There are several reskins, though.  
  
  (Oh btw, all the aforementioned ships, with the exception of the incomplete Chimera, are available at the HLP Model Database.)

[Bobboau]

you forgot about the historic SF Gorgon by Dark, the first completly origonal and completly functional ship in FS history, though I'm not sure it was ported over to FS2

Ok you can get it here.

I love this ship. Still one of my favourites. Note I haven't changed the ship in any way. The only difference is it can be used in FS2.

[Setekh]

Run it through FSMM2?  

[Bobboau]

ya

Yeah I needed it in a COB format to view it in 3D Exploration. POF2COB doesn't work with FS1 POFs.

FSMM2 converts fs1 to fs2

Totally new ships? Well, the B5/FS2 project is creating non-canon fighters for some races, tho they're only at about 35% done for their mod.

I can't wait for them to finish TBP. It's going to be damn good.  

[Apothess]

I can't wait for the B5 mod as well, looking at some of the recent screenshots you wouldn't belive that it was the FS2 engine.

[Snipes]

I can't wait for the Astraea... Damn Psycho hasn't been online

I had a siggy, but it was big...

Astraea? Tell us more!  

Warlock's SL conversions are looking VERY good so far. The shroud is awesome- that's what fighters are SUPPOSED to look like.

Shrike is working on converting a number of SL capital ships. Silent Warrior is getting the SL music into FS2. We should have some new interface art, but it may not be completely possible. The SL conversion is going to be very different though, because wingmen tend to be impersonal in FS2.

(Shrug)
All I care about are the sweet looking fighter models.   Other than that, SL has NOTHING on freespace, except maybe the nifty planet backgrounds.
