GTF Hercules Mk III
Why does Inferno's high-poly model only have four primary hardpoints? You're killing me here, Woomeister.

Re: GTF Hercules Mk III
Since the original Hercules had 6 primaries, the Herc mk. II had 4, then the Herc Mk. III should logically have 2, to follow the pattern.

Shivans view most other species the way we view infectious diseases. They think they are doing good by curing the universe of them. After all, no one mourns the fate of smallpox.

Re: GTF Hercules Mk III
But the Herc III this is based on, this one by Hamano, has eight. And that's what I wanted to use. :(

Re: GTF Hercules Mk III
Hamano also did another fighter that looks a lot cooler than the Herc III, but it was never released. :sigh:

From what I read in the tech room of Nostos:

Spoiler:
It looks like the Alves, whenever we get to use it, will be the 'gunboat' (8 guns) fighter of the campaign.

Re: GTF Hercules Mk III
We reduced the gun points on the Herc III from 8 to 4 for balancing; no point giving the player a heavy fighter with 8 mounts early in the campaign.  Instead we want the player to carry Hurricanes and/or Hornets and use the Herc III as a missile platform, as Rhymes pointed out earlier.  The Alves will be the heavy fighter for the mid-campaign.

Are you talking about this?

Re: GTF Hercules Mk III
^Exactly this. I've found pics on Hamanos website ( http://www.lares.dti.ne.jp/~hamano/TEMP/ , look for files that start with "The"), but I've never seen a download link to the Theseus. Detail wise it'd outdated by now, but the design is pretty IMO.

BALANCING? I thought this was Inferno, the mod synonymous with More Dakka. Don't you have a bomber with ten gunpoints? I expect to start in an Erinyes and go bigger from there.

(This is all good-natured ribbing btw, you folks did a great job.)

Well, the GTF Ladiel (OTT) and the GTF Keres (INFR1) have 16 primary mounts each. Do you want to start a balancing contest?
