3.6.14. 3.7 will be the new pilot code.

Isn't some kind of pilot code improvement already in?
I'm sure that Chief managed to add a new keybind (which works quite well), so itn't the new pilot code at least partically in?

No, the new pilot code was pulled.

I like the continuity between this and the Hatshepsuts engines.

[Nyctaeus]

It still has parts from Trashman's HTL Typhoon [like hangar] but they looks cool after revamp. Good work .

Interesting assessment since this model came from Ragingloli.

Of course, but he probably started from old Trashman's HTL. I sam early versions of that model and I've noticed a lot of similarities including hangars, aerials on the top of the model and other things. At this moment, similarities are almost invisible but they're still able too notice.

[The E]

Umm, no. Ragingloli made this one from scratch. While he may have taken suggestions from Trashmans' Typhon (which, lest we forget, is almost indistinguishable from the retail version, as a test proved), I would assume it's more a case of both of them having similar ideas independent of each other.

[Scourge of Ages]

Wow, that is a truly great job. I didn't really ever like the design of the ship, but you've definitely made it pretty.

By the way, am I the only one who thinks of this when I see the Typhon?

EDIT:

[Commander Zane]

Probably, if anything it looks like one of the INFR1 Vasudan ships that I can't remeber the name of.

Really? I suspect not, this model came from RagingLoli.

(and it's typhon not typhoon)

Actually, Trashman DID make a Typhon-ish design with a pair of extra fighterbays on the ventral and he called it the Typhoon... though it was separate from his high(er) detail Typhon.

Is there, perhaps, some collective effort to get all of the non-HTLed model assets HTLed before the next media VP release, or is it just me?

[BrotherBryon]

It certainly does look like it doesn't it.

Not officially. This has just been the "perfect storm" in terms of asset creation. We got a hold of Ragingloli's models which were mostly the bigger destroyers and + that no one had touched yet, then RgaNoris started the Sath because he wanted to... soon after the Inferno opted to finish the Shivan strikecraft. At the same time Sab0o popped out of nowhere and worked over the bombers. All that plus the other miscellaneous stuff people have been doing (like Axem, Hades, and BrotherBryon) has just combined into this massive and seemingly collective effort.

It's been awesome!

[General Battuta]

Demon needs some love :colbert:

[Commander Zane]

Unfortunately the revival effort didn't seem to go anywhere.

[mjn.mixael]

Well, IIRC peterv claimed it. But that guy has a lot of projects.

Sadly, the Demon may be one that just has to wait for next time. Currently most of the FSU staff already has large models to work on.

But this thread is about the Typhon and it's awesomeness.

[Hades]

Well, IIRC peterv claimed it. But that guy has a lot of projects.

Yep, that's the main reason I switched the uvmapping job from peterv to sab0o, so that could free up some of peterv's time.

[Buckshee Rounds]

Just wanted to say this was the ship I most wanted to see HTLed and it's been given brilliant treatment. I don't get what the fuss with the tiles are, they seem reasonably purpled enough to make them seem like they deserve their place on the ship. I want this ship's babies.

[AtomicClucker]

Heheh, this is miles ahead of the old Typhon. Now sooner or later it'll be ripe for a re-enactment of the Eisenhower disaster.

[SF-Junky]

This models looks truly awesome, but I somehow dislike these "open" parts.



This looks kinda unfinished as if some of the hull plating was not yet installed or removed for repairs. I think you should try to give it a more turtle-like look. Also I think that the grey doesn't really fit into the colour scheme. I think you should use the texture you use at the outer side of the front forceps, at least for the grey parts at the engines to make it look more Vasudanish.

Apart from that this is really, really, really cool. I look forward to see it ingame as the Typhon is one of my favourite ships too.

[MatthTheGeek]

So now, we have people complaining against a FS2-like look, and others complaining about a FS1-like mechanic look. Marvellous.

[The E]

It looks like someone took a Typhon, and ripped pieces out of the hull to make room for upgrades. Which makes perfect sense, really.

[Dragon]

It does, but only for FS2.
For FS1, this Typhon simply doesn't fit, the only part that should be without armor is weapons subsystem.
