Title: The station is saved - and is now in-game!
Post by: TrashMan on September 07, 2006, 03:48:40 pm

I managed to save this model - part of the UV mapping was lost but I fixed that pretty fast.
I'm turreting it curretnly (40 turrets so far), and once I'm done with that, I'll make a few lower lods, and debris.

But the hardest part will be PCS ing this thing, as it has more dock points than even the Whitehall!

I'm still not sure on it's final size, so I'm taking suggestions.

I'm also working on the HTL Athena, the only thing left is finishing the cockpit and maping it :D

So? Bigger? Smaller?
More guns? Less guns?

Congrats on it not being a total loss. :yes:

Now, a critique: It's a good station, although it ventures a bit too far from standard GTVA design aesthetics for my taste. Granted, the lighter texturing and pointy design does indeed fit the 'Snow-thorn' name to which you have attributed, but it could stand to be a little more... terran-y. I'm assuming that big claw thing is a large docking-bay? Perhaps you could make it less solid, sort of more modular, so it can be reshaped to fit a destroyer or cruiser without having lots of wasted space.

Dang..I added a total of 45 turrets nad now PSC is being a a** for some reason.

I set turret 1 to 6 fire points normally, but turret 7 and all after are placed in the same spot?

I got like 20 normals coming out of a turret that's howering allmost 100 meters from the hull of hte station (where it should be)!!!

It looks like I'll have to remove all turrets and add them again in TS.. :mad:

Which version of PCS are you using? If it's one of the newer ones, try an older build.
