Obviously that race compensates for a certain shortcomming. ;)

Nice, my first thoughts were *The centauri meets the Cylons, meets Thunderbird 2???* Seriously cut back on the turret barrles at least by half! Just an opinion...

I like it. It's better than the first one.


Looks somehow like a pirate ship to me.

Does anybody know 'Spaceship Warlock' ?

Save it in Direct X format and you can get it in TS, and then convert it to POF.:yes:

Yeah, but what about the turrets and other stuff? How can I get those to work properly?

Here is Karajorma's FS faq. I allready sent Cobra here, and I have the link on the turreting part of the Faq. But, also check the rest, it should help you alot.

ach, no go. The turrets are part of the main body in this case, I cant select each one individually....

Hmm...can I save the body itself first, then add the turrets individually by loading them as different objects later?

Yeah, just delete the turrets in DOGA, and save the body. And then save it in Direct X format, and get it in TS. Then just get the turrets you want in DOGA and do the same. Once you get e'm in TS, do like the Faq says. I'f you need me too, I'll get some pics.:yes:

AAARGHHH!!! Truespace should die!!! The damn picture is all in wireframe, so I have no clue as to where to put the turrets, or how to move 'em there. The worst is teh damn view! If I try zooming out, the ship size just remains the same and I cant see a thing! Worst is that if I try to rotate or move the view, it's no use as the ship just remains in the center of the view as opposed to the center of the grid!!!

I try rendering the damn thing so at least I can what's where, but it remembers _none_ of the texture data from DoGA and doesn't even render properly (it comes out blank)!
