I agree completely. In a project I'm working on, we've had models for a very long time and they are top jobs, each of them, but a little while ago we got nice texture jobs on them and I can tell you, they became alive.

That's because I designed all the GTA fleet this way. The other terran faction (the Tau) will have blocky ships, lots of them  
I may post a pic of the TID Ryujin soon.

Hmm, how long did it take you to do those maps?  I'm wondering because it's something I've been mostly doing in dribs and drabs, a bit here and there.

DDDAAAMMMNNN. That's on my "to-download-immediately" list

I would REALLY like to see Venom do a how-to on how he textures his models so well. Venom's models are a perfect example of how a fairly simple wireframe can be a beautiful finished project with the right texturing, and I'd give an arm to be able to do maps like that for my ships.

Venom, with these new additions to your fleet, I think you could come up with a really sweet render of the fleet. Like a shipping lane or something.. I don't know, I'd just like to see some of your work "in action"

yeah, me too  
There's already a render of some of them in the general forum, people said the lightning was wrong, so I changed it, and "poum!", the thread went dead, no comment. Well, maybe, I dunno for now.
For the maps? you mean drawing the map or applying it?

Maby make a hangar for it for 2 fighters as support

Why? that's a freighter, not a carrier. Freighters always have a wing for cover, doesn't need a hager, plus that would be a waste of valuable space to carry more goods into the ship itself.

That's a good idea, though - a mini-carrier. Enough to carry, say, 4 or 5 fighters, respectable speed (say 40 m/s) and a lighter armament than usual (1 SGreen, 4 AAAf, 4 standard flak?) Give it a good model and you have a nice little hit and run/special ops ship.

I made one - sort of - the Gryphon.   Technically a large 'flak' cruiser, but it had a small fighter bay on the underside.  Paths alwasy were a bit odd, though.

Well I thought those brown boxes where cargo boxes
