I don't actually have how you wanted it to be. I made my own pof of it from the dump, simply because it looked cool. No other reason.

That is how i wanted it to be.  I just don't like it anymore.  Same applies to the Daedelus & almost all of the old Reci mods.

No, I don't like it either, you've made much better designs.

Hot:
GTB Notus (kickass)
GTB Jotun (ditto)
GTF Alves (Dunno why I like it)
GTF Archon (Much better than the Menelaos
SOF Ophion (weird but cool)
SOF Banshee (awesome)
GVF Acacia (nice but needs reskinning)
GVF Reshef (beautiful, elegant, sleek)
SF Hydra (Good, but needs a reskin)
AB Attis (Really cool)
AB Satyr (its table entry redefines the word "overkill" (10000 hitpoints and 95 m/s!) but it's otherwise fine)
GTC Glaucus/Bellerophon (lovely)
All EA warships EXCEPT the Darkness (original, interesting, and well-textured. The Tereus and Nemesis are my favorites)
GVC Selket (OMG a good Vasudan cruiser!)
AC Gordia and ACv Malia (Kind of cool, but rather wimpy)
SPD Vinaashak (Just plain wicked)
GE's new Tanen (beautiful)
GTCa Warlock (Nice, but the textures are bland)
SSJ Gigas (Evil-looking)
SH Gargant (Mommy I'm scawed!:shaking: )

Not:
GTF Vesuvius/Cyone (*barf*)
GTF Menelaos (*retch*)
GTF Daedalus (Meh, I just don't really like it that much)
GTF Keres (use the Ladiel instead--the Keres is awful)
GTF Enceladus (the Mustang Alpha skin is better--and what's with the paper plate things on the front?)
GTF Horae (Blech)
SOF Chaos (way overkill)
GVF Apis (meh)
GVF Ennead (too skinny and weird)
SF Serpent (*puke*)
GTB Sabus (Needs a diet)
GTB Mehit (AWFUL skin)
SB Shaitan (Why? Why on Earth?)
GVC Sai (Looks Frankensteined together from pieces of unrelated warships)
SC Raguel (a giant vacuum cleaner)
SC Abel (the worst model Venom ever made)
SC Heraklion (doesn't even look like a ship)
EACv Darkness (doesn't really look like an EA ship)
GVCv Pachet (all the problems of the old Tanen)
GTD Icelus and Boreas (I hate the Hecate textures)
GVD Apothess (use GE's model)
VCI Bastet (*throws up violently*)
VCI Tempeth (WTF is this thing?)
SD Kismat and SSD Diablo (Replace the Kismat with the Yama and remodel the Diablo without those things that look like the frills of that smallish lizard that attacked the fat guy in Jurassic Park)
AD Pylos (an amorphous blob of a ship)
GVCa Hesat (the whole thing is awful)
SCa Shiamak (WAY too phallic!)
GTFr Vela (yuck)
GVT Isten (the texture job from hell)
ATT Dallie (needs more detail)
AS Kalimari (here is how NOT to texture a ship)

Bring back the Demon then. It's still the best Shivan destroyer around, except for the Yama.

Hot:
AB Satyr (its table entry redefines the word "overkill" (10000 hitpoints and 95 m/s!) but it's otherwise fine)
-It dies real fast with that amount of HP...

GVC Selket (OMG a good Vasudan cruiser!)
-It should look good, that's V5 of it :D

SSJ Gigas (Evil-looking)
-The new or old one?

Not:

GTF Keres (use the Ladiel instead--the Keres is awful)
-No the NGTA fighter skins don't fit our designs, also the Keres severally outguns it.

GTF Enceladus (the Mustang Alpha skin is better--and what's with the paper plate things on the front?)
-Actually the MA doesn't even have a custom map

GTB Mehit (AWFUL skin)
-???? if you mean the Vasudan bomber, the Menhit is a reskin of the Imset, not the other way around...I was the one who UV mapped, skinned and converted the Imset

GVC Sai (Looks Frankensteined together from pieces of unrelated warships)
-Selket mesh V2 :p

SC Abel (the worst model Venom ever made)
-One of his first so yeah :p

AS Kalimari (here is how NOT to texture a ship)
-was a place holder ship to stop normal FS2 crashing, there was a better model, but I lost it a year ago :D

Oops! I meant the Imset. I like the Menhit (even though it has a very strange-sounding name;))

If I was to choose an OTT Terran fighter it would be the Ezechiel, as it's maps fit far better with our own than the other NGTA fighters. Plus it's the best looking :D

Yeah, the Ezechiel is the best of them all. If only there was a hi-poly version for HT&L...

The Sai looks horrible. I must say I wasn't a fan of the Cyone (it's primaries anyway) and the Vesuvius (seemed way too much like a step backward from the Myrmidon). Why was the Shaitan included with no weapon upgrades?

New beams, SSD Gigas, and explosions looked awsome.

The cyclone wouldn't have been so bad had the primaries simply been aligned [rant]LIKE ANY OTHER FIGHTER IN THE FS UNIVERSE[/rant]...  I mean honestly, who would mount two different guns, often with projectiles moving at two seperate speeds, in an asymmetric configuration if they had the choice to mount them symmetrically.  I really don't like the forward-dome style cockpit on a terran fighter either, but that's not why I hated flying the thing.

it looked more like an upgrade from a WWII bomber than a 24th Century Space Assault Fighter.

Perhaps the Erinyes could fill a gap with a Erinyes MKII or somthing. It was a good fighter (it was supposed to be heavy assult but i found it a good at everything:D), and it seems silly that it would be scraped right after is construction (it began full duty at the end of FS2).

Where does it say that it was scrapped right after FS2? Remember that Inferno takes place quite a few years after the end of FS2. I would think that a fighter with that kind of firepower would be in circulation for a little while.

It takes place 23 years later. The Erinyes is rather old by that time.

Aye, you have a point there. Perhaps it could follow in the footsteps of the Hercules, becoming a cadet ship and behind-the-line defensive vessel.

Or perhaps it could go on the black market :devil::drevil::devil:
