I was thinking of you the whole time I was working on this mesh.   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif)   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif)   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif)

nice but this cockpit is too bulky, and the ship lacks something, can't find what...
It looks omehow like a Mig29, so maybe look at that ship to find something to complete the design?

The rear may be a bit thin IMO, but I like it.  Reminds me of a larger bomber though, with the cockpit, like the B-1B.

I did have a neat idea that I was thinking about that might help.  Add the external stores on the model as 'subsystems' and use SEXP's to 'destroy' it as it gets fired off.  I wonder if I can get that to work...

Has anyone else tried this, or is it just a waste of CPU time...

Of course I was also thinking about generating a dynamic damage model as well (Wings, engine pods, ect.) for my TC.  That's definately a project for the future, I want to just get the damn thing done before I do anything really fancy (LODs and stuff).  Since I changed my work schedule (I switched from graveyard to swingshift) I've lost all of my staff due to a lack of ability to communicate (our days off don't line-up anymore).  Which means that I'm trying to create this thing all by my self!  Models, ANIs, missions, campaigns, skins, menues, EVERYTHING (don't worry about me giving up, I don't even know what the word 'quit' means... well, I mean I'm not stupid or anything, I do know what... oh, nevermind   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif) )!  It will get done, just not very quickly.

My current priorities are...
#1 Models and missions (including skins)
#2 Campaigns
#3 Multiplayer (if I can figure out a way how...)

ANIs, cutscenes and new menu screens are not going to be completed anytime soon.  New musics are pretty much history (for the time beign anyway, can't find anyone who knows how to play guitar who's willing to work for $free).  That reminds me... Does anyone here live in the Seattle, WA area who knows a guy named Alan Burt?  If so please let him know that I'm trying to get back in touch with him (I hope he still plays!).

LODs and all the 'spit and polish' are not going to be implemented at all until everything else is done so  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

oh and the cockpit is far to bulky to fit in with the stream lined rest of the fighter(?)

I know about the cockpit (moral of the story is: don't create your masterpiece at three in the morning  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) ).  I've fixed the cockpit and smoothed out the nose of it since I did that pic (just haven't updated it yet, bein lazy)

And it has a gun... There's a single G-22 cannon mounted in the left wing-root.  It's underneath a cowling to preserve aerodynamics.

I don't know the meaning of the word 'single' im MR Dual, Quadroopel (whatever), 8, 16, etc

Your MOD certainly sounds better than that thing you were talking about when you first said it... (I think)

I do some of my best work that eraly in the moring! (or mabey my normal work is really crap?.... nah!)
