It looks excellent so far.

Winglets as in cargo pod holders?
Those things will generally be covered by a cargo pod no?

At least in retail I never saw the Mephisto carrying more than one container at a time. Of course it is possible now to have multiple docked ships, but in general I don't think it should matter too much, considering the fact that polygons are not the major resource hog (if I recall correctly - don't textures consume more resources?) and it'll be UV mapped rather than tiled.

I swore the original Mephisto was UVmapped anyway.
And Yes, it never carries more than one, but all four are equivalent. In retail, you could put your one cargo container onto any of the four arms.

It is perfectly capable of carrying four at once in SCP though.

[Droid803]

I think we all know that.

I think I remember that being one of the glory shots back when multi-docking was first implemented.  That and some bizarre Elysium daisy-chain.

When this is finished, I expect a docked mephisto wall promptly..

You troll... My beloved retail model is dead!

Yeeeep...
Dead links removed

With HTL cargo pod, looks great.

[Dragon]

Amazing.

Those cargo pods look like they could open up and spam missiles.

Awesome taco delivering MIRV

For a freighter, that beast looks bloody terrifying.

New Mediavps are out and this isn't in. Axem, what happened to this awesome model?

[mjn.mixael]

Dragon, stop bumping old threads asking for progress. You know how this works. If there was progress, you would have seen it.

[Dragon]

I'm just wondering, that's all. Notice I'm not asking for progress. Axem is obviously around, so I wanted to know if he still has the model. I've been gone for some time, so if he said, at some point, that he lost his WiPs for some reason, then I'd have missed it.
Also, with so many things on his head, it's not an unreasonable idea that he just put the model off for a while and forgot about it. Perhaps now it's a good time to dust off that beauty.

[Axem]

The model is in the hands of the FSU guys right now. If anyone wants to UVmap and texture it, let me or someone like mjn know and we can most certainly give you the files!

And I see for some reason I deleted the pics, which is an utter shame. I updated the main post with a p3d.

[Dragon]

That's amazing. Maybe we'll see that one finished yet. Oh, and could you add a p3d with a container, too? I really hope someone steps up and textures it. I couldn't do it justice, unfortunately.

[Axem]

Cargo pod added!
