Re: Upcoming models (The old Model Release Redux)
Right now I'm working with just the confed fighters, 37 ships in total to go (24 fighters and 13 cap). plus whatever I design latter.  There's 26 kilrathi ships total and I'm looking at some design templates to make things run faster and easier.  As for the bugs, there's about 10 of them (I've started re-working on one using much higher detail)

I'm.... You...    :eek: :eek2:

You are a modding MACHINE Scooby! I am so happy you never seem to get tired of this. I'm waiting for nearly every single model you create, and almost all of them are awesome.

Re: Upcoming models (The old Model Release Redux)
Could you show us it's chin from below? It had a Stormfire and a laser in there.

 
Re: Upcoming models (The old Model Release Redux)
There's a stormfire sitting in there, same as the Kris.  The original pirahna had 2 ions, 1 laser, and one stormfire.  The black ops version had 3 ions. I went with 2 ions (or whatever) and 1 stormfire.  Honestly, I didn't realize it also had a laser.

Re: Upcoming models (The old Model Release Redux)
It'd be nice if you could put the chin mounted laser/ion cannon back in.

 
Re: Upcoming models (The old Model Release Redux)
I'll see what I can do, but there isn't much room left there.  Stormfire will probably need to be sized down a bit.

@headdie: Why? They might be low-res but some of them are pretty cool.

@Scooby:
Nice model, I would love to fly that one :)

Re: Upcoming models (The old Model Release Redux)
Ah, ok. That's an interesting topic throughout the history of SciFi.
I mean: basically it is useless to have colorful ships flying around. And people are used to watching "monochromatic" ships by watching Star Trek and Star Wars and some others as well (WC3 where most stuff is grey with blue).
In other SciFi the color is important to show a ship belongs to a certain faction or race, and some just use random colors for everything.

Many WC fans like the colorful designs from WC2. In WC1 all Terran ships had almost the same colors, in WC2 there were totally different ones around (Broadsword and Ferret, Epee, Rapier, all different). Some fans disliked the "boring" (a.k.a. more "realistic") colors of WC3 while some liked those. Priv2 uses the WC2 approach, with colorful stuff everywhere.

I think it is a matter of personal preference after all. But look at it this way: Those are civilian/clan ships. Civilian airplanes and cars and ships and stuff in real life tend to be more colorful than military ones. Perhaps that was the idea. Also Priv2 is kinda surrealistic anyway. Maybe you should take drugs and try again :D   (no, please don't)

Re: Upcoming models (The old Model Release Redux)
sorry I should have been clearer, its not the fact that they are colourful but the patterns and in some cases the combination of colours like these



The resolution of the textures dont bother me too much, I grew up on early 90s DOS and indeed I prefer the WC1-2 era designs but I just thing they dropped the ball in how they handled the textures in Priv2

Re: Upcoming models (The old Model Release Redux)
Yeah, they might have turned the saturation slider up a bit too much sometimes, and the combinations are... creative sometimes.
Also IIRC Priv2 was a completely different design team so that might explain the difference.
Sometimes it even feels like it is not even the same universe. We literally see nothing we know from Priv1 or any WC game. I like the game but one or two Kilrathi in it would not have been bad. Priv1 felt like in the same universe. There are stories about how the war is going, and also Kilrathi ships flying around. Priv2 is much different. If it wasn't called Privateer people wouldn't recognize it.

Hmmm the Drakker (the second pic) looks interesting now...

Don't confuse it with the Plunkett class, this one is an escort cruiser (1 heavy plasma, 2 heavy particles, torp launchers and a butt load of anti-fighter tachyon/laser/missile/gattling)

Frankly, I think the armor plating looks strange, I don't like it much.
I like the shape of the ship though,
