Ok, odd title for an odd subject.
Who else here thinks that Vasudans are really under-represented in the current flow of mods and the stock FS2, in terms of design?

Basically, in my opinion, most Vasudan designs look like [V] got lazy, and slapped on as many semi-blurry, indistinct textures as they could onto a single ship?

I really think the Vasudans need a new visual design, 'cause right now the textures are all semi-fuzzy-ish, blurred, and stretched. They should be more like the Terrans or Shivans, with crisp, structured textures, that are evenly wrapped around the model, not looking like it's a giant stretched rubber band.

Come my Vasudan friends! Let us fight the hegemony of bad textures! Rebel against the oppressors! To arms! To arms!

I think we should go back to FS1 style vasudan textures. Most of the FS2 vasudan fighters were just butt-ugly compared to their counterparts from FS1.

Anuket and Sobek were sexay. The fighters, howver, sux0red looks wise...

Use Typhon textures then.

Well, I like the sandy looking textures.  Yeah they're fuzzy on some models, but they suppose to look different than the old one.  All the "new" Terran stuff is armor plated, and looks it.  The Vasudan textures are the same way, but with a Vasudan design feel.

I think that they're probably the worst of the lot. Randomized reds and lights, and it gets rreaaaalllly ugly when it gets stretched (as often happens).

[Galemp]

Well, if you really want a new Vasudan visual design, then you can grab Nico's OTT Vasudans.

[Carl]

the vasudan textures look fine. stop complaining you poopy heads.

[Star Dragon]

That the Vasudans are under-represented with coo looking ship designs. That's probably why I prefer Terrans first, folowed b Shivans second, and teh Vasudans last..

[Galemp]

I like Vasudans the most; they're difficult, and I love a good challenge. I'd make more if only I had the time. You can see most of my stuff in SA, once it's released.

Dude, the Typhon textures can be used very effectively - the problem is, they hardly ever are. I've only seen them work on two ships - V's original Typhon, and Aldo's Typhon 2.

[Eviscerator]

Hmmm...... perhaps what we need is not a change in *basic* design, but *more* actual textures available.

look at many of the new terran designs out there. many have textures *specifically* designed for them. Why can't we do the same with the Vasudan? Nico's Vasudan ships for OTT are an example of stepping in the right direction most certainly. Now we should continue stepping on that path.

[Galemp]

I've got twenty new Vasudan textures that I'm keeping to myself.

Show me some good Vasudan meshes and I'll let you have them.

[Zeronet]

Vasudan ships are butt ugly[V ones at least], especially their colour, looks like a brownish sort of puke.

How about I send over some big scary men in balaclavas to take the textures from you?;)

*runs like hell*

EDIT: Raptor's got a nice Vasudan model (you will release it, right Raptor? ):

[Galemp]

That thing definitely needs some help before you can call it Vasudan...

[StratComm]

If we ever get DatDB up, you'll have a couple more to play around with.  These are, in my opinion, two unorthodox but clearly Vasudan ships, with a paint job to match.  Notice the curves and the multiple textures over clearly defined sections of hull.
