Re: Armored Leviathan Release
I think this up-armored version would make more sense on the Fenris.  It reminds me of the Hummer's up-armor development.

For the TL;DR, the M998 original Hummer is vaguely reflected in the Fenris, and the later M1114 version seems to be more reflected in the Leviathan.  This mesh could be something like a field installed kit to upgrade Fenris in the interim while Leviathans were rolling off the line, and to extend the lifespan of Fenris ships still in the field.

My main reason for suggesting this is that it doesn't seem to make much sense to up-armor what was already a factory heavily armored version of the Fenris.  Do we need moar daka armor?  Or do we need to protect our aging Fenris ships?

I much prefer the M1151 style Leviathan than Chubby McChubithan.

Re: Armored Leviathan Release
Yeah, the upgrade between the Cain and Lilith was rather understated, so I sought to produce the same effect. Pudgy Leviathans aren't my thing.

Re: Armored Leviathan Release
I'd prefer a compromise between the glossing over all the details approach and the clinically obese Leviathan.

Re: Armored Leviathan Release
I think it would be more impressive if the armor were slightly elevated away from the hull on some sort of mounts.

Re: Armored Leviathan Release
I prefer the original, identical mesh over all the "remakes" to be honest...maybe it's just because I'm so used to seeing it like that.

Re: Armored Leviathan Release
I like it, has this MkII look.
The middle section needs more love, though.
Little in the middle but she packs much back?

Re: Armored Leviathan Release
Erm. So I'm too lazy to open every single terrain cruiser pof to figure out which one the leviathan uses. I'm not a fan of the 3.6.12 leviathan, and would like to know where to find the original to override it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

(Hopefully I get to keep the tweaked textures though, since that was a job well done)

Re: Armored Leviathan Release
The model is cruiser01x.pof, and you can pull it from the 3.6.10 MediaVPs. I don't think you'll like what you find, though, since the textures reflect the new model's geometry. You might just want to make your own TBM that changes the model file back to cruiser01.pof and have a red Leviathan.

Re: Armored Leviathan Release
I'm...going to go ahead and use the old Leviathan model again too.
I liked that blue and the odd shades of greens.
