Ha ha you just reminded me that the coolest thing about Wing Commander is that there's a Ferret fighter.
Oh um, great carrier too. I like it. Hwo do you de the figthers in the hanger by the way? Are they sub-systems? If so are they destroyable?

I think they dock.

Thanks, finally got it to successfully convert (stack overflow problems)

The fighters are subsystems, but besides that nothing fancy yet. I'll need to learn up about it.

Edit: Sorry no docking yet, no subsystems, paths, engines or glowpoints yet. Shouldn't be that difficult to import through, the hardest part is over.

Wow! Very nice! Now all we need is a Midway  ;)

Midway is on my list, but it won't be sized correctly, due to the fact ship scaling is really messed up. Midway couldn't launch excaliburs or thunderbolts.

Don't worry about ship scaling... Rule of thumb is to go by the size of the fighters that interact with it. (sorta like how SDF-1 for Robotech is only 1.2km by book, but in game it's 4km, otherwise it would be "too small" visually...

I ran into the same problem with Trek, unless I made the caps 2-2.3 times bigger than book numbers, small craft like shuttles and fighters looked huge! (even if you used book numbers for those!)


I like the look, but would like to see a "modernized" Concordia... Even if such a thing would be non-cannon.

Wow me likes! Is this going to be released or is it part of a scooby-snack-pack?

It'll be part of the pack, which I should be close to getting enough models for another release.

and I suppose this isn't what your looking for, for a modernized Concordia.  (BTW are we talking Confederation class Concordia (WC2) or Concordia class (wc3+)? )
