Same here. Try posting the pic itself instead of a link.

Ah. okay, wait for it...


Oh, wow! I love it! I assume it's based off the 'Vasudan Super Carrier' concept art by  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/v.gif)? I think it's great design, and the model is fine for a LOD. Keep the basic shape but round it off and embellish it fishy-style. I hope that the huge docking bay in the front will be big enough for a cruiser! A ship that can carry an entire planetary occupation force with one subspace jump; fantastic!

A thought on the history: could this be a pre-Great War relic? We know that the Vasudans were forced into space to search for other habitable planets relatively early in their development. Could this be a sort of colonisation ship, a la Borg?

Oh Emperor! Your mind is far too active!

Setup (sorry, thats all i remember) I copied it from the page and it worked but from the 'properties' it didn't...

Well, I suppose that it could be a heavy carrier.

Actually thats a great idea. Working on adding more fighterbays  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/naughty.gif)

Did you ever do anything with that Vasudan Corvette / Destroyer model I gave you?

I'd love to see it converted but I can't do turrets yet. I'm not even sure TS2 will allow the proper naming convention to be used for turrets.

wraithhost, use 'a' instead of '1'. I do it all the time and it works fine although I have been in 'aa' situations before, but it works!

I have no idea how to use MAX's texture system, I wish that I could learn to use the UVWMapper though  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif) (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)

It takes time to do but is fairly easy once you get the hang of it.

Still a little low-poly for my tastes.
