I personally think the Fenris and Leviathan are two of the most iconic looking ships in Freespace and this is a wonderful reimagining of them.

Things like the "Gulnara" system and the way "the galaxy" is described in some mission briefings and techroom entries are what made me hypothesize that the FreeSpace universe was originally much larger and more expansive and Volition drastically scaled it back midway (or later) through development to tell a more intimate story that would be more feasible to portray with 1998 hardware.

Also I really like the way this Fenris came out. It has the angular, straight-edge look I've always associated with FS1 Terran ships while still looking modern.

The model is pretty much finished here, I think (maybe +/- a few minor things). I'll start uvmapping it in a couple of days if no one has any criticisms or such about it or bits of it.

Neat. You nailed it. They're similar enough, yet different enough. I only have one minor request. Could you make a version for FSPort with all beam turrets replaced with TTs? I just realized that it's gonna look a bit out of place with FS2 weapons modeled in. This shouldn't really be too hard, depending on how the turrets are done.

Absolutely. The Leviathan will be getting the same treatment in this regard as well.

I'm really digging the Fenris. Managed to keep all of Retail's feel while shedding all of Retail's ugly.

Are you planning to keep the purple paint job on the front of it as a texture detail? I see the recessed bits on the Levi where the pattern goes, but nothing on the Fenris.

Changed your mind about the recessed bridge windows? I'm finding myself ambivalent on the topic.

I'll never understand why people apoligize for threadnecroting when they have better reasons than some people starting new threads. :D
