*Cough* Aurora auto-path *cough*

Not that manual pathing is a bad thing, but if you've got the tools, use them :nod:

On a side note, I prefer manually drawn paths, they are more reliable and are actually thought out.  But turret paths are so simple that there really isn't a good reason to do them any other way.

I just said PATH cuz it's the only thing I could think of...  Even if I don't have to do anything to it, I'll still have a copy.  I used to have a semi-functional one, but I lost it, and Psycho's too busy.

Besides, Aurora is hella-buggy for me.

Personally, I think the Hecate had a lot to offer, but it was wasted - especially those two turrets on the interior of the engine pods.

Now the Orion was well executed, even if the textures on the engines are a bit suspect.  I think the Bastion does it justice, the picture in the old HLP model contest was awe-inspiring.  (Assuming it's the same ship)

Sorry Raa Tor'h...

You don't have to path it, only texture it...

I wasn't intending to turret, nor path it... But I've been pre-occupied with school, work, and a certain vessel Ryx made that's turrets won't fire in game...

I'll finish texturing it soon.

The Vasudans and Shivans have a pretty good theme going, why do the terran have green, blue and grey ships? (and indeed brown... all sorts). They just seem kinda unthemed.



I'm reskinning all of the GTVA caps (except the Fenris, Zephyrus, Charybdis, and Colossus) with a uniform texture scheme. I had to use different models for the Aeolus and Deimos though (the Phobos Advanced and Alcyone models, respectively).

Why did you go and kill the Deimos?  She's the mainstay of the Terran fleet as far as cool-looking ships go.  And the mesh you replaced it with, quite honestly, looks about 1/4 as good as the Deimos did to begin with.

The Deimos does not lend itself well to the scheme I'm using.

Your Orion will be a weakling against enemy ships, now that I've dowloaded it and peeked at the tables. Swarm turrets almost always miss. I'm editing the entry to bring back the original huge turrets, BGreens, and AAAfs. Besides, the Orion looks wimpy with itty-bitty midget beams.:p

*scratches head*

Which version?  Do the turrets to the fore and aft have barrels?

Probably the version that was in Inferno.  It's the most easily available.

Ahh.  That's the older version, I believe.  I modified it slightly.

Still an old model now..... I could do better.
