Otherwise, it needs smoothing, engine glows, some more subsystems, a docking point and maybe better debris (coz they suck, but anyway, the Arcadia never loose, so they shouldn't be seen (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif))

Here's the Yamato. She's a real beauty, much like the Arcadia: http://www.hlj.com/cgi-local/hljpage.cgi?BAN77588 ("http://www.hlj.com/cgi-local/hljpage.cgi?BAN77588")

well, the link above doesn't work, anyway, from what I remember, the Yamato shape is much simpler than the arcadia one, so if I can get pics as good as the ones I got for the Arcadia (maps are scans from a quad view schematics, I found them on the web, just had to cut them into pieces, rebuild the top and bottom ones coz they were half cut and put together, if you know what I mean, change some brightness settings et voila), I may do it... later.

if you find pics as accurate as those schematic pics( http://www.hlj.com/cgi-local/hljpage.cgi?BAN77588 ("http://www.hlj.com/cgi-local/hljpage.cgi?BAN77588") ), I'll make it (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

it didn't, Starblazer is just the english name for the original series that comes from the manga (btw, the US versions seems to be modified... bah, usual US bad habit...)

I know that, the Japanese name was
"spacebattleship Yamato"
Come to think about it the Yamato out of starlancer doesn't come even close to this one (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

(// [url="http://www.cet.com/~rascal/graphics/sb-blast.gif"]http://www.cet.com/~rascal/graphics/sb-blast.gif[/url] )
actually there are 3 tv series of yamato (against gamilon and desslar/dessler/desslok the first, agains comet empire the second and the search of a new earth the third, and there are also 5 or 6 films... the first two related (but different) to the firts two series, the others are almost indipendent from the series.
there are also other variants of yamato with different crew created and films( i've nevere seen em) with theese ships
Matsumoto as i heard is actually creating a new yamato tv serie about 1000 years after the original one as i heard...

Turnsky, in the show, the Yamato is THE Japanese Navy Battleship Yamato, raised from the ocean floor and made into a spacecraft. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) She looks like an old battleship because she IS an old battleship.

4 km long, just like the actual ship. Otherwise, yes, but no:
the main hull already uses more than 2100 polys dude! To have so many details, I had to make consessions, and well, general shape is more important.
Same thing for the maps: as it is, it uses 25 maps ( 22 for the main lod). If I add any more stuff, the FS2 engine just won't be able to handle it.
