Those were on the original cut scene model... so it wasn't at all out of place on the hi-poly.

I wasnt aware of them, else I'd probably complained then, too. But atleast even there there's canonical footage with them. This is just added.... willynilly.

[Axem]

Perhaps. But the model has larger problems than extra undefined turrets. It has zero missile turrets and a few turrets are in the wrong places. I'd think that would screw up balance even worse.

Aren't HTL ships supposed to have the same weapons configuration as their low poly counter-parts?

Yes. You can make a case for altering stuff like the shape of the model and what not, but adding turrets fundamentally changes canon (even if you leave out the table data, they still don't belong there)

Look at the screenies or the model itself. The extra turrets don't even look like turrets (more like observation decks or sensors).

If they don't look like turrets, don't act like turrets and dont sound like turrets, then they aren't turrets (assuming you use standard ship.tbl)

Everybody should be happy - the purists and those who want the older ship more up to date with modern one (or jsut want more firepower)

Albeit doesn't that make them crap turrets when they are used?

[TrashMan]

Depends really...
They can pass for turrets, but I guess that depends on how you imaggine a vasudan turret in the first place.

pics or it didnt happen

[TrashMan]

Pics of what?
The ship or the extra turrets?

Either way both are in the HTL Typhon thread...

And I STILL havn't managed to get around that stack overflow problem... I'm slowly giving up on the idea to use stock models for lower LVL (detail 2, 3 & 4) lods... (0 and 1 are mine)
