any answer to the original question of how to use this? Will table edits be required to make FS2 look for this model?

Actually, since we seem to have a precedent where FS1 era ships are the first ones recieving hi-poly upgrades (Fenris, Herc, Cerebrus, Manticore, Lucifer), perhaps it might be a good idea to round out the FS1 cruisers, proceeding from the Fenris with the Cain/Lilith... but that's just my opinion.

Well when you upgrade the fenris you get a leviathan upgrade for free :D

Same with the Cain/Lilith :)

I was hoping that when work started on the Hi-poly Fenris, that a separate version would be created, visually different from the Fenris, as the Leviathan.  Say, make the connections between the center segment, and the front and rear segments, be a bit thicker to account for the extra mass (thus reduced speed) and hitcount.  Also, I suggested the addition of a few single barrel deck gun style turrets on the forward upper hull, and on the dorsal and vental flat surfaces of the rear hull.  Combine this with the blue side light of the Port Leviathan with a slightly darker primary hull tone, and now you've got a better looking stronger brother of the Fenris.

No no no. This is making the originals higher poly. Not changing them. It wouldn't be the same ship in your case...

Raa Tor'h, I think he was talking about the Leviathan, and the diffrences between it and the Fenris, not about changing this lovely Fenris model...

It's spooky really, as the turret suggestions TP made about the heavier armarment for the Leviathan are very simular to the ones I was thinking about...

Maybe I ought to konck up a couple of images to show off turreting ideas...

Fenris would be the same really, submodel wise, but the Leviathan...:doubt:

I know what he said... I disagree with him. By putting more and different turrets on the LEviathan, you'd essentially change the ship. IMO atleast.

I'd give it a bit of a different paint job, but nothing more.

The leviathan/fenris and cain/lilith are the same because V was lazy. Absolutly wanting to keep them the same... ah well, I'm wasting my time, never mind.

Why are we all upgrading the ugly ships? Why not make the Deimos high-polly? That ship is sexy...

And I'll help...for all it's worth...

The Fenris is a cool ship, of course I'd rather have a hi-poly Orion, but that's not the point.:D
