Just out of interest what GTVA ships are remaining from R1? we know of the Acylone, Phobos (albeit these 2 are being redesigned) and Boreas. Are any other terran vasudan ships remaining?

Is the Vasudan Corvetted that looks like the searcher 1 from buck rogers, err the mandes i think it was called remaining? i always liked that corvette.

The entire R1 Vasudan stuff was replaced. The Odin is still around as well as all the EA ships.

Odin is cool, like most of R1 models. They need only a few more polys.

I'm surprised that you didn't keep the Apothess, Tanen, or Asarte.

Apothess - yes
Tanen - no
Asarte - no

We are systematically phasing out all our blocky ships (those made up of several cubes and an octotoad glued together and stretched).  Also, the Vasudans won't play that big of a role in INF SCP with the exception of several major battles; it'll mostly be a Terran-Terran-Shivan conflict.

EAB Lonchos
Type: Special Issue Bomber
Maneuverability: Good
Armor: Average
Primary Mounts: 3x2 + 2x2
Secondary Mounts: 2

The EAB Lonchos is the bomber of choice for elite EA bomber squadrons.  Along with the Aurora, she is at the pinnacle of EA technology and is faster and tougher than most of her GTVA counterparts.  The Lonchos is particularly dangerous in that she can easily switch from an anti-capital role attack bomber to a space superiority fighter and is thus a threat for both fighter pilots and for capital ships.

WIP:



Influences: Taiidani Interceptor, Taiidani Attack Bomber, standard EA ship design
Meaning of name: Greek noun for a spear used by Macedonian cavalry

Awesome! :yes: Really awesome! But needs some glowmap, something like FSK's Ezechiel would be great.

It's very cool. It literally is the Taiidan attack bomber, but it's cool.

Thought the exact thing when I first saw the untextured model but yes, cool indeed.

Is that a bad thing? the Taiidan fighters and bombers were a awesome and brillant design. I like it!  :yes:

Will the EA strikecraft have some form of uniformity to them or will they as random in design to Freespace 2  Terran strikecraft?

I can't wait to see some video footage of the new assets in action, however long it takes! I have been following Inferno since day one, even contributed a model.

The mesh and textures are good, but... I can't help it. I just totally hate to say that, but inspiration is one thing, blatant rip-off is an other. HW1 deserves better than that.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

Well 'technically' no, there is an Apothess but its not the same model as the R1 version.

EA strikecraft roughly share a common theme.  This actually was an accident of development: when we did not have dedicated texturing staff, we splayed one common texture onto all our EA fighters and bombers.

The mesh and textures are good, but... I can't help it. I just totally hate to say that, but inspiration is one thing, blatant rip-off is an other. HW1 deserves better than that.

Definitely we agree with you.  However in our defense, although the first thing one would see from this mesh is the Taiidani influence (mainly through the signature tail fins), but we did not hack into a Homeworld model and modify it for our purposes (we'll leave that to the HW2FS total conversion projects out there).  Instead we created an entirely new mesh based off of fanon concept art from HW.  And of course, should one compare this mesh with those of Taiidani ships from HW1, one will immediately spot the differences as well.

Same basic idea though, right... long-range single mega-beam destroyer?
