Yikes. From what I can see (tiny, low-res picture), they're reskins. The Orion does not look good in brown, I have to say. I can't see enough of the Hecate to say much about it...

Has that Orion got its head stuck up a Hecates bum?

Try www.hostedimage.com - it's free, and it automatically "optimizes" pics you upload for the web.

Brown textures are :ick:, by the way. They don't work at all for Terran ships. Vasudans, maybe, but not Terrans. Try using the Deimos textures with lights from the arcadia or something...

Why aren't the IMG tags working?

I dunno, but try photobucket (unless ur already using it and calling it the wrong name). You can put up WAY bigger pictures than that.

Post by: NGTM-1R on December 19, 2004, 01:29:06 pm
Now the silver one actually looks kinda nice.

yeah. DONT do retextures unless youre POSITIVE what you are doing. i learned the HARD way...

Post by: Taristin on December 19, 2004, 09:54:15 pm
Generally, retexturing ships doesn't look that good, unless it's a fanmade ship, and it's textures suck. :p
Title: Advanced Destroyers
Post by: Trivial Psychic on December 19, 2004, 10:33:14 pm
The brown textures, no.  That stretched lights texture on the Orion, eeyywww! The grey panneled one... change it around so there is a little more variance in the pattern and in the shading, and find a way to get rid of or recolor those original brown bits on the interior of the forward fins and on the neck, perhaps add some different colored lights (blue perhaps) and it might have mod potential.  Of course, this from a guy who doesn't texture-mod much (me).

Later!

I just thought the textures looked good on the err C914's destroyer and that superdestroyer in inferno, it is my first go at a real MOD (as in not just editting tables)

To be honest, i think you're doomed to failure if you're just doing a texture replace nowadays; the V ships (especially FS2 ones) often aren't mapped particularly well as-is, and replacing without re-UV-ing can be very dodgy.
