Does anyone have one? I've been searching for hours now, but the only one I've found was at the Inferno site and wasn't available for download. I know I could have downloaded the whole campaign (I may do so anyway to play it) and extracted it, but if it is not independantly available it is my assumption that Woomeister et al. do not want it made public, right?
So anyway, does anyone have a new Vasudan space superiority fighter to replace the Thoth?
-
The Apis? I can't make it public as it needs a proper skin (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

you want a new, medium capability vasudan fighter.
I'm too busy to make anything at the moment, but perhaps one of my old Darkbreed ships would work for you. unfortunately I'm not sure of anywere that they can bedownloaded at the moment, and My Email got nuked like a small defiant terrorist state.

Actually, Bobboau, that's not quite accurate. Small defiant terrorist states (*cough* Afganistan *cough* (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) ) don't get nuked; they get bombed back to the Stone Age (which for Afganistan wasn't saying all that much). The only time a country got nuked in wartime was Japan at the end of WWII. So to be more accurate, you should say something like this:

I was thinking of the ones we haven't delt with yet (Iran, Iraq) they are practily begging for a thermo-nukular bichslap

Ohhhhhh!!!! So that's why you didn't andwer my E-mail... hmmm.... you see I sent you an E-mail that talked precisely about... Dark Breed!!!
Bobboau, is there a way that we can talk more privatly and with time... ICQ? I'd really like to share this idea with you...

Oh, btw, answering to the topic Q... I may have a Vasudan superiority fighter soon (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I have one, but I keep it for myself (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif) (how selfish am I (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) )

Wonderful! How much is left to do, Raven?
Your fighter looks awesome, Venom, but decidedly OTT, so even if you were releasing it, it probably wouldn't fit in too well with the rest unless I made up something about it being the first use of missile pod technology (but of course this is all academic anyway, since you're not releasing it).
-
Venom, I like your Vasudan fighter, but I'm not sure about the cockpit window. Interceptors and space superiority fighters need to have good visibility to spot other fighters and your window seems to cut down on visibility. (If I were in a fighter, I wouldn't enjoy trying to spot bandits by looking out a window that was the size of half a dozen sunflower seeds...)
Aside from that, it looks cool. Did you base this off the Perseus?

It would have no wiondows, it would make little difference. The pilot uses an helmet with a screen, linked to several cameras (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif) (look at my trailer pic, you can see a vasudan pilot with his helmet... well, you could see it if there was more lightning (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) ).
Otherwise, no, it's 100% from scratch, and if it does look a bit like the perseus ( and I bet I'd remove the little fin under the nose, nobody would even compare the ships), well, it's not on purpose (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

i think that this, the harlock's arcadia and the last aldos' artwork (the vasudan bomber) are the best models for fs2 i've seen since i'm hlp member (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

How is this proposal? What if soemone with modelling capability were to add a few gun mounts to the old Anubis ("http://www.descent.dk/hunter/f2s/models/GVF_Anubis.zip") fighter for me (and maybe tweak the polygons a bit if feeling generous), and then I could take care of the tables and interface art and whatnot? Would anyone be able to do that? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I did have some very Vasudan looking ships up here a while ago, I'm sure someone still has the Dark Breed ships somewere.

Bobboau, have you read the post that was ment specially to YOU??? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/rolleyes.gif)

I did get a copy of Dark Breed, Bobboau, and they are aptly named. The skins on them make them look like Vasudan/Shivan/Terran hybrids with very unpleasant attitudes. Right now I need something that looks a little less evil-mutant-Vasudan-like. They are definitely cool models, and I'm keeping them for later.
-
oh, raven ya,
I'm not working on Dark Breed untill I get done with BWO, then If I can get kellen and/or Icefire (I already have worked with with these guys) to come along with me I might start it up again.

Isn't the Serispis (sp?) a space superiority fighter?
What I always though the Vasudans needed was a more modern interceptor. The Horus/Seth just don't cut the mustard in FS2.

no, the serapis is an interceptor.

hmm. Let me know if you ever need a modeller... i want to do a bit more Vasudan work 'on the side' (as it were) (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif), but I don't want to start my, er, other thing[/i
till all the models I've promised are done.

Hey, Aldo, if you want to work on Vasudan ships, There's plenty to do for my campaign (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif). You can contact me on ICQ if you're interested.

Waaah! I want the PVB Maahes...

You want the [p1mp]GVF Heptu[/p1mp]. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
It's too bad it won't be released until WoF comes out tho. Just one more thing to drool over. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

I'll try.... although i've only really been on the 'net at Uni for the last week, and I don't have ICQ on it.

aldo, would you please give me a few pointers on how to convert my models, add texture, and give gunpoints/engines/subsystems?

Guns/engines/subsystems are fairly easy. The thruster glows and paths have to be set in PCS (paths are hard), but the guns, turets, subsystems, etc, can all be done in Modelview. Just go to the POF editor and the rest is pretty easy to catch on to. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Try getting a hold of me on ICQ. Also, Bobbau did a really good tutorial on FSMM2, which still applies to PCs and ModelView.
