Re: New Vasudan fighters?
I wouldn't say every design, Raa.  The GVF Reshef (aldo's) is very good, as is the GVCv Udjat (the rear end of which was actually made by you), and neither of those were based on V art.

Aroo? What was designed by me? What is this Udjat that I don't remember?

And I barely recall the Reshef, but if it's the one I'm thinking, then, yeah, you're right. It's about the only ship I can accept as Vasudan.

Re: New Vasudan fighters?
The Udjat (final textures remain under review) includes some bits that were made by you many moons ago.  The rear nacelle things, in particular.  They came from an old model that I was originally going to use, but then Galemp and I brainstormed together to come up with this new improved version.

Incidentally, the process I used to come up with the concept (which is pretty much intact, albeit with some minor modifications as Galemp and I discussed it further while he modelled it for me) involved looking at canon Vasudan ships, thinking about the design style evidenced in them, and then incorporating elements from them to make the new ship.  It seems to have worked very well.

Re: New Vasudan fighters?
What size class is that Udjat, Ses? And when would it be considered finish-ed and available for dropping into some missions? ;)

Re: New Vasudan fighters?
See, you say that, but with every Vasudan design, my own included, that weren't made from V concept art, none look fitting, nor Vasudan. They all tend to look... bloated, or waspy, or what have you. But never Vasudan.

The problem comes if people work even partially from the concept art; the trick has to be to find the inspiration for the concept art, right back to the original source, and work forward.  Otherwise it's derivative or accentuates types of detail too much. 

In any case, Vasudan is kind of in the eye of the beholder; there's no universal definition for it, and the featuresyou pick as vasudan or not are the ones people might feel the opposite about.  Plus sometimes the ships from V concepts don't look Vasudan anyways; after all, there's likely a reason those concepts weren't used.

they probibly got the idea from me, seeing as those 2 ships are really really old models, actually they predate the scp.

The Udjat a corvette.  And it'll be available when the campaign is released. (Nice try.)

It looks almost entirely different.  In fact, it is an entirely new model except for those couple bits I liked that I cut off of your model and used again.  I'm not surprised you don't recognise them.  I'd show you a picture of the old model, but I seem to have discarded them.
