Well I think it's been made clear that the issue is not 'the Valerie's waypoints can't be improved' (they obviously can, and it would have clear benefits for 'immersion' and all that ****), but that the labor involved would be pretty sanity-stretching given that it's a mission we've already spent more time on than nearly any other.

I can't stand working on Darkest Hour any more.

Also I'd like to point out that the Diomedes 'sweetspot' is pretty narrow, and that when we designed DH with the original Dio model, two beams on target was considered pretty much the optimal. By this standard the Valerie doesn't do half bad.

I understand. As I added into my previous post (sorry if I was confusing), this reason is very valid for not going with the 'rework the waypoints' route, leaving me with the possibility of having the Indus's opening salvo or two disable the Valarie's engines from the Indus' (possibly coincidental) flank-attack from subspace. Chaotic schedule for the moment aside, I'll give it a shot and see if it has sufficient merit.

I might try this just to practice fredding.

So the Bel is finished :D What's going next  Aesaar ...? Please tell me it will be the Raynor. Knowing your skills and style I can almost imagine right now how awesome it would be. :D You are (in my opinion)  the only modeller who should re-make this destroyer.

I was astonished when I saw what You did with Chimera and Bel, two the most ugly ships in my opinion. Now I like them :) Thank You once again for your great work

If you were hanging out on BP's IRC channel you would know Aesaar is already working on the Raynor.  It simply looks awesome.
17:37:02   Quanto: I want to have sexual intercourse with every space elf in existence
17:37:11   SpardaSon21: even the males?
17:37:22   Quanto: its not gay if its an elf

[21:51] <@Droid803> I now realize
[21:51] <@Droid803> this will be SLIIIIIGHTLY awkward
[21:51] <@Droid803> as this rich psychic girl will now be tsundere for a loli.
[21:51] <@Droid803> OH WELLL.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

Yes, the Raynor is being worked on.  But it will be a surprise.  It'll be released with the last part of WiH, and you wont see it until then.

The Draco, on the other hand, is currently being textured by Esarai.  Depending on how fast he works, release should happen this month or early Feb.

Re: Warships of the TEI (Updated 09-10-12)
Okay, thanks for the info. I hope that it will be similar to this what we have seen so far (I'm sharpening my teeth for her, because tilemapping doesn't give me such possibilities to create something uniqe) It would be cool for the texture pattern to remain like on Diomedes or Chimera. And it's also easy to modify to make the ship look not BP'ish.

is there any chance that what you did to these ships will happen to the Raynor and Titan?

You bastard. :D

Edit: Will we at least get to see the neo-Hyperions? And what about the GTD Titans?

So what you're saying is I should wait till the end of WiH to order my Raynor 3D print from Vasudan Admiral. Good to know.

An4ximandros: Hyperion, yes.  Titan, maybe. :p

Drogoth: Yes, that's probably a good idea.

And if you guys had been on #bp, you'd have gotten Raynor previews!

I'm so looking forward to the new Raynor. Allthough your diomedes is still my all up favorite FS Ship ever. Very sleek. Shark like.

Holding us back from both destroyers would be a... titanic cruelty.

Wait, he finished the Bellerophon?  When and where was this announced?

  Does this channel have a history section I can look at, or are those images gone forever?  I've never used an IRC channel until today. :ick:

 
Re: Warships of the TEI (Updated 09-10-12)
there's a p3d link he posts periodically, your best bet is to lurk until he does so
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

The updated Bellerophon has been included in the WiH builds since Tenebra came out.

I'm in luck, he posted it! :D

Now all I need is to find out whether or not sharing the link here would be a good idea. :doubt:
