About the name: how about naming it the Antaeus? Hercules defeated Antaeus, so it'd be sense.

I know there's an INF ship with that name, but this one deserves the name Antaeus too (or one of its variants).

I agree with a rename, especially considering Hercules is the Roman word for Herakles, similar to Pluto is the Roman word for Hades.

How about GTF Eurystheus?

Eurystheus was the king who sent Hercules on his great quest. I reserved that one for a fighter I long ago intended to make but I doubt I get to that.

It's a cool name, but a bit too long and confusing IMO.

Yeah, Antaeus is more memorable than Eurystheus. Eurystheus sounds more like an individual ship name.

I bet people probably said the same thing about 'Lancaster', and so it got shortened in conversation to 'Lanc'. I think it's a cool name, but in conversation, I doubt anyone wouldn't abbreviate it to 'Eury'.

Sorry guys, the name is staying. This ship has existed as a basic idea in my head for literally years, and it's always been called Herakles. Not going to change it at the 11th hour. Besides, I like the progression - Herakles, Hercules, Ares.

* Dilmah G didn't even realize there was a name changing discussion and assumed that the conversation had somehow drifted to names. Knew I should've read something other than the most recent post. Oops.

I agree with keeping the name as Herakles. Suits the fact that it's a Herc predecessor quite well.

Lancaster is pretty easy to pronounce though. Plus it sounds awesome.
Would make a good name for a Strike Bomber.

Man, I love BW's models. The care and effort that goes into giving them a place and a role in the FS universe is just superb. It gives them more character than any level of detail ever could, and it is ships like these that make the FS universe come alive.

Totally agree with VA. BW's models are just awesome, he's doing unique types of models - like noone is trying to do. His models are so old-school like and they have spirit of Freespace in . This fighter is nice, like other models. I'd like to see it in [of course] Hercules-like textures .

[Snail]

The Herakles was going to use textures from the Apollo bomber (Ash's Apollo). I think that'd be a lot cooler than derivative Hercules textures.


And I agree BW makes old-skool beast models.

Obviously, there's still lots of black space to fill in, but it's moving along slowly.
