I claimed dibs on the name 'Claymore' 2 years ago. I actuall have 3 made 3 different models, and a 'Mk.2'. This is the newest one, which is being replaced cos it;s quite old and I need much better geometry and mapping to do the animations using it.

It's the signature ship for Reci.

Besides which, I'm Scottish. it's a Scottish weapon - so :p

Nope, sorry. nothing in use for Reci is being released. Hell, we're not even releasing screenshots till we have the misisons at least patially done.

Title: Here's a question...
Post by: Star Dragon on March 05, 2004, 09:37:53 pm: Is Reciprosity gonna be compatible with Retail FS2? If not will you allow any regualr models used be available for DL in a zip file when teh campaign is ready for release?

[EDIT] Forgot to mention the Claymore mkII is one of my fav fighters of all time. cool evolution of the base fighter (and better textures too).

Title: Claymore revised
Post by: StratComm on March 05, 2004, 10:07:12 pm: Actually I've got claim to Ajax. I currently have a missile corvette by that name. It's nowhere nearly as well-known as the Claymore though, especially when Inferno uses a Claymore varient as well.

That model is so sweet. :)

Anyway, sorry Trashman. That's a great mesh and texture job, but nonetheless, you'll need a new name for her. :nod:

Post by: Zarax on March 06, 2004, 02:44:58 am: What about GTF Hietaroi? It keeps with the greek names canon...
For those who aren't strong in history, The Hietaroi were the macedonian heavy cavalry, also referred as Alexander's Companions

Nope.... we're aiming to make as much use of the SCP stuff as possible, especially with weapons......

As far as HT&L goes, most of the existing ships were designed for FS2 retail, so we won;t be making major use of polygons. Basically, the existing stuff will be kept, but I'll be able to broach the previous limits when necessarry (i.e. 1000-1500 poly fighters). That said, I do have a

The newer capships (which won't be made for a while yet) will probably be around the 3000-5000 poly mark, because it's possible to justify that level without too much of a major difference in quality between the older models.

Reciprocity will have a lot of large battles anyways.... we're hoping to chuck a lot on screen for a few key missions (within bounds of playability of course.... i.e. no Battle of Endor where you just sit back and watch), so going high poly would just screw that up.

Ask when the first eps released, and I can say. I'd hestitate to do it, though - I don;t want to give out the impression that Reci is all about the models in it, because it's anything but.

Not a good piccy.... although I'd argue that it's not really that similar nowadays. not to mnetion the thuderbolt isn;t all the dissimilar from an x-wing with the wings opened.

Post by: TrashMan on March 06, 2004, 02:40:29 pm: Well...I don't intend to change the name (see the claymores on the ship? I don't want to do the texture again)..

Oh...b.t.w...Aldo...
