First: this is looking top notch.

I for one don't think it needs a modelled fighterbay, after all noone can agree on whether it needs one at all; it would be a tonne of effort that could be better spent on other things like uvmapping or greebling. Yes, I would like MOAR GREEBLE - she's a big ship with some empty looking areas. Just look at the new Medusa - there's no such thing as too much greeble.  :nod:

Hades: The Orion badly needed some love. Thank you!

Uh, yeah, there is.

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities.

  • What?
Also, he probably doesn't need to lookat the Medusa... He made it after all ;)

I think I'll call REAL Mahjong 'Chinese Dominoes', just to make people think I'm an ignorant asshat.

 
it seems to me that no two orion mainhalls look the same anyways so i'd guess that they are fighter/bomber storage repair and refit bays and there would be a large airlock leading to the actual launch area. If he Modeled the otherside of that airlock, I think that would be sufficient. IMHO.

Are you people daft? He said he's not going to model the inside of the fighterbay.

Why is there a need to model a part of the ship that most players will never see through proper gameplay? :wtf:

Psh, who plays properly anyway? :p

 
Uh, yeah, there is.

I was exaggerating. Believe it or not I trust Hades' ability to judge how much greeble a ship needs.

Also, he probably doesn't need to lookat the Medusa... He made it after all ;)

Ah. That makes this all the more promising. But then he's not the one who gave it epic greeble - that was VA iirc.

That was both me and VA. VA did the cockpit area, I did the body, missile pods, and engines, and he did the wires in the engines, why thank you.

I apologise. I just vaguely remember you thanking him for his efforts. In any case, the new HTL Medusa is among the very best of what the FSU has to offer and for that, and all your efforts, I thank you.

What about a one barreled turret for the beam cannon on the bow?
But it looks great otherwise :)

Wouldn't the fsport version need the beam cannons on the sides replaced? :)

I notice on the lower shot you have a recessed beam cannon, will you be doing a FS1 era version with a different modeled turret where the beams are?
Of course. Those parts are separated from the main mesh so they can be reuved fairly easily etc.
