Well, those models were an attempt to make the model fit the weapon (forward and aft pair, flak guns.  Midship pair, plasma based).

The orginal Aeolus had really undersized turrets, IMHO.  They barely had the space for anything bigger than fighter guns.  Could have worked though, giving them rapid fire Prometheus cannons, but the messed nature of the geometry...:ick:

I wounder how good Lightspeed is with ship textures.  We've all seen his work with weapon effects and nebulae....:drevil:

If he's not intrested, then I'm open for volenters to texture this beauty.  I'll UV map it, but I've got enough texturing heading my way already...:shaking:

Oh and BTW, which of these text colours are already in useby someone?
Sky Blue
Royal Blue <- I Like this one:p
Blue

He'll probably say he's too busy. :p But he does an excellent job with them if he has omething to work from. He's reworked 4 TVWP ships already, and he'll probably be touching some for CIM (Raven's campaign) whenever I manage to bake the skins good.

If you choose Blue I shall ban you. It is hard to focus on those wavelengths.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well.

I was joking about the banning (duh). But it also was to make the point that a solid blue color is hard to read against a black BG.

Okay, pure blue is a bit hard to see.  So I'll use this one then.

Man, we have wandered quite off topic haven't we?:D

Mikheal, please show us some progress!
