i downloaded it when it loads up in fred i get a message sayin there are missing textures and the ship has spikes coming out of it, oh yeah it cause's modelview to crash as well

[Odyssey]

[color=cc9900]Just for the hell of it, and because I'm bored, I took Trashie's model and implemented a few suggestions, so he can have a visual reference as to what would look better. I deleted all the random stuff between the runways and reconstructed the edge polygons, so the runways aren't joined now. Also, I played around with the end outside corners of the runways, because they looked kinda silly so sharp.

Much better.

I'm gonna try a few more texturing schemes around the hangarbay and I'll post pics, so you'll decide...

I LIKE THE RUNWAYS CONNECTED!
Extra landing space and all. Do you all forget the first nebula mission?

[Odyssey]

[color=cc9900]But nobody else likes it that way, really. It's not a very good sign when you start modding for yourself alone.

And, you plan to stick Herc2's (or anything else for that matter) in a teensy little bit of the Orion, sandwiched between two pieces of hull?. You seem to have forgotten that the AI in FS2 ain't all that good in stopping fighters hitting things, it'd just look dumb if you started stuff off from there.

But, each to their own. If you like it, we'll just have to won't we? [/color]

O.K. - I'll cahnge the runway A BIT...geez...everybody's a critic these days....

Here are the missing thextures:

That's why I suggested extending the runways themselves a little. The ship would look better and you'd still have that little piece of connecting runway you like so much.

Isn't that why you post stuff, for us to give our opinions on them?

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Yes, but only positive ones.

[TrashMan]

Orion MK3b is almost done.
Anyone car to path it for me (and put a few glows and a docking path).
I kinda don't feel like it.

[Odyssey]

[color=cc9900]From this viewpoint, that definitely looks better.[/color]

Only Positive, then how do you improve something if, every one sucks up and says it looks good. IMO someone being truthful to me telling me how to change/edit something is far better than going "oh that looks nice"

3b, is starting to look better, i was just wondering is there any asymmetry left in the model? It looks like there may be some little bits, but what made the orion great for me was the obvious asymmetry of it, this (although it does look good) has lost a lot of that appeal.

Correct me if I’m wrong.

[TrashMan]

there is a difference between constructive critics and just plain critics.
The runway is an example. There are few thing that were wrong with my first version of the ship (the bottom, a few textures) and those I have fixed. There is nothing wrong with the runway however, but you all seem to have some organic distaste for it, alltough it's perfectly Orionish.
So, to appese the mases, I changed it a little..

now..ANYONE WANT TO PATH THIS FOR ME?

EDIT: One just can't appease you folks, can one?

[color=cc9900]It's got a small amount, I think. Like, some extruded parts along the top only extrude along the top and down one side, instead of both sides. And there's that funny little thingie stuck on the bottom of the runways. Other than that, though...

EDIT: Trashie, I'm trying to be as constructive as possible.[/color]

[TrashMan]

The left and the right side are different.
The hangarbay's are different in shape a bit and the sides of it's center section are way different..

I wasn't being serious.

Well now that you've split the runway like I suggested it looks much better.

[Sheepy]

When did you come back?
