except for some textures, can someone tell me where the hell you see a relationship with a deimos????
anyway, with a retexturing she could become a nice orion-a or, maybe better, a terran ship of the same era and design of orion.

And wrt. the ship, why do I think 'Assualt Rifle and Grenade Launcher Combo' when I look at it?

Very good analogy there... guess we know where the beam cannons are, right? :devil:

[SadisticSid]

It's nothing compared to your other work.

Looks good, but I hate that model. Sorry....

[Baron MacDoblin]

I have to agree: the modeling is top, but the design itself looks like an Orion ... on its side ... with ... things ... sticking ... out ...

No offense Raven, but I don't like the new skin...

They are? Somehow I must have missed that. I prefer the Fenris/Leviathin to the Orion any day. At least it looks like a warship and not the result of someone intersecting three large boxes. The Deimos is just as ugly. Give me the Hatshepsut or even the hideous Hecate any day.

Needs a reskin. Use the original Tau textures.

[Baron MacDoblin]

I should add that while I don't personally like the design, I don't think it should necessarily be abandoned, either ... I mean, I think the Orion itself is ugly as goat.se and it's my favorite ship in all of FS

Also - and this is something a lot of scifi forgets - warships aren't made to be pretty. It's a bonus, but not its purpose. A warship's purpose, obviously, is to blow **** up.

those textures are bad you got talent to do better texture job

[Raven2001]

Well, about the textures, it has now a new texture theme: dark and freespacey... I won't show it yet... only when I have a site for CIM...

I will not use the Tau textures because they simply don't fit my purposes...

As for the Orion and Deimos, I think they are very pretty, and the Deimos is the most "exotic" looking terran ship in FS2

[Akalabeth Angel]

Isn't that a Tereus as someone said? Looks like one anyhow. I don't much care for the skin either, the red and purple/grey clash. Maybe if you got rid of one or the other it'd look better.

  Also, when people post links for images in posts can they avoid finalnames with spaces in them? Such as "Ryujin 4.jpg"? I always have to open it in a new window and at 20% in the space. A simple underscore (Ryukin_4.jpg) or lack of space altogether would make it accessible for all sytems I would think.

well I don't hate the orion and the deimos, althought they aren't exactly the best example of a starship in the sci-fi games history.
Actually this can be said for most of the capships in fs2, I dare, and some are even worse than orion or deimos. And I have to say that the orion with glowmaps isn't really that bad.
Personally I think that 90% of the problem lay in the textures/uvmaps, since the designs aren't usually that bad.
The deimos shape for example remind me a galeon, wich could be cool, but as she is, she looks just like a brunch of polys with 3 textures tiled almost randomly.
Given a lot free time I could completely retexture she with custom maps, and I'm sure she could become a kickass ship. Problem is that I don't have 20 hours to spend in doing this:/

Think dark will suit this a lot more, BTW Raven.  Good model, think the textures as in the piccies are too light, though.  Not enough contrast, IMO.

Is "Ryujin" from Japanese word?

Would be, I believe.  Venom/Nico is a big fan of anime and soforth unless I'm mistaken.

Think all the Tau designs had Japanese / Japanese sounding names.

[Zarax]

Hopes to get it available ingame?

[Knight Templar]

I liked the textures. They look EA-ish, but with heavy armour.

[Taristin]

Personally, I think there's not enough contrast. The light blue ctile4a shouldn't be used with that larger grey/blue plating you have on there. Use something darker, and it'll change the entire look of the model.
