I'd not release them if I were saving them for a camp, would I? It says on the downloads page. Under "Notice about models"

DaB: Screw you. :p FS2 is fininicky for me, and I dopn't like how whenever it crashes, I have to reset the resolution on both my monitors.

I used the Ulysses table entry, and just changed the pof it calls. I suppose I could make some tables for these, though. They're great models. :)

EDIT: Just for reference, the pink bits and the yellow "sting" are the glowy bits. Looks very nice. Shame I can't have shines (ATI card)...

EDIT 2: And another, just showing off another angle:

A strange shape passes across Alpha Naraesai IV....

Post by: Getter Robo G on July 24, 2005, 08:32:57 pm: I like them all, could I use them as TMP era or better TNG era Gorn fighters (for Star Trek)?

I have a Gorn fleet but they need a texture revamp (too fuzzy/pixelated from source as with fs2 you fly REALLY CLOSE to ships)...

Post by: Taristin on July 24, 2005, 10:48:45 pm: I've a rudimentary modular table file in the works, but it needs to have some weapons made specifically for these guys, and I've yet to make them. Perhaps after the capships, since I intend to try to be innovative with their weaponry.

Post by: pyro-manic on July 31, 2005, 12:48:43 pm: There is a slight resemblance. But then it also looks a bit like the Aliens dropship, and a bit like a Boanerges, etc. Doesn't mean much - there are only so many shapes a flying thing can be... ;)
