the yellow tone thing is because I wanted to:
that's the first version of the mihos ( w/o any graphical bug, I assume Woomeister didn't take a shot from modelview ), with standard vasudan maps. I think it looked cool, still I didn't keep it. Why? because I wanted my vasudans to look different. It's a matter of choice.
As you wisely said, different opinions is what makes life interesting. In that matter, my opinion comes first, and obviously many people won't share it. But when I do my own models
I am the rule ( always wanted to say that
).
That said, I DO think that the version above would probably fit better for the FSUP than the OTT version, coz the FSUP is not OTT. I did OTT solely on my own vision of how the FS2 story would evolve, and there was some dramatic happenings that were supposed to change many things on what is taken as canon and that other people would not want to change for any reason. That's my take, and that's why I didn't apply the OTT plot for the FSUP ( other reason I want OTT dead for good, coz OTT was mainly a story, not new ships ).
To sum up, OTT was MY own vision of the freespace universe future, and I made choices that probably didn't please my old staffers, but I disregarded their comments, and, finally, they were all fine with it.
I never wished to please anybody, I still don't. I know my tastes aren't the regular ones, I know I like odd designs, I know that the twists in OTT plot were sometimes a huge departure from what players were used to see, and I know that they would most likely not like it. But I prefer to stay true to my own vision rather than ( I'm gonna make enmies with that sentence ) following the trends of a universe which by many ways, I find utterly boring.
Anyway, I'm kindda fed up, coz I've been explaining myself a bit too many times in that very single thread, and I wish not go on with it. I'm done with OTT, and I'm also done with those models. They're old and history for me.
