i thought red-faction was a battle tech to FS2  mod.

I might have the wrong name I get confused these days.

It was looking into geo modable ships & stuff.

Why, yes   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)...there's no website at the moment, but if you want to help, just send me an email or IM message   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
If you're skeptical about good models, here's something by one of the people working on Battletech Squad War, the sister project for the mod:

The thread he posted it in is here ("http://www.dropshipcommand.com/dcforum/DCForumID12/91.html##").   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
EDIT: Before someone mentions hosting, I already have access to some for the project.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Stunning. That's just gorgeous. Nice use of greebles for surface texture.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

It depends...the mod is supposed to be set during the Clan invasion, but extra ships can be included if there are enough requests :)

What about orbital bombardment? I'm thinking the Sabre Cat  here..

Well, part of the problem is keeping it realistic...since you won't have shields, fighting against capital ships regularly isn't a good way to promote longevity ;)

Has anyone already made some Fighters?
And has someone some BT Capship and additional fighter pics for me? (only got the 3052 fighter)
Normaly I am a groundboy loving my Mech, washing it every day, do some painting....':D'

Ähhh, ok lets come back to the topic. I have just looked through my 3052 and found the fighter are looking quite good. Later that day I have played FS2 and   I looked at the 3052 at my table and asked myself if it would be funy to fly a Jagatai or Dschengis. I mean think of an LRM20 in FS2. 20 Rockt lunching at the same time, wouldn't that be fine?
So is there an Aerospace mod of BT beside the HW mod?
And remember I would like to have some pics.

I have tried today to make Union Dropship, because I thought it is the easiest one to make.
But since that thing is so round my polycount went up high.
The main hull has 1328 Polys the 4 side turrets got 150 each makes 1928 for the hole thing.
I have it made more just for fun. When I have got more time I will see if I could make a quite lower poly model for FS2.
Has anyone allready made a fighter for FS2 or some weapons, mean weapon.tbl stuff, Sound, images for "beams".
I have tried it yesterday, but the result wasn't that good.
