The Medusa is from FS1, where the ship designs looked actually good. It's just most Fs2 ones that make me puke every time I see them.

FS1 was more military. FS2 was stylized space combat.  I prefer Military myself...

The ship it most reminds me of is the Apollo. Take away the wings, and you've got an Apollo.

take away the wings and you have a dildo with thrusters strapped on :p

anyway: the design rocks, i think that is definatly the way terran design would go:
sleeker, but still with a militaristic touch.

it reminds me a bit of the messerschmidt me-262.

"...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. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

It's beautiful. Most beautiful ship i've seen to go into the FS2 engine. I think I'm going to go fantasize about using it now. Speechless. Omg.

question: would it be possible to have something like the nameplates on capships, for squad numbers and stuff? you know, a map with a green area and stuff, so I can save space on the map ( I already saved a lot, btw, I've quite some room now by optimizing the textures ) but also, mainly, so you can have different numbers on the same wing ships w/o needing a map per ship?
I'd remove the "01" bit on the map, and would use a small 128*128 map for all the markings.

Yeah, it's possible, except that would probably break loadout.  It should work somewhat similarly to insignias I think.

loadout? I thought there was an option in fred to assign a different map to a ship, would be just a matter of changing the marking map one in fred, no

Well, if you change your ship, how's FS2 going to know what to do with the ship you're currently flying.  The same goes for your wingmates.  Outside of loadout-controlled wings, though, it should work ok (I don't know what it would do in spawning wings, but you'd probably wind up with each wing that comes in having the same set of plates).

It changes the texture. Not the entire ship, Strat.  Just like the nameplate on Karma's Fenris, you can change the nameplate in FRED2_open and have each vessel with the same pof, but with different titles.

I know how the texture replacement system works, Raa, though that last post may not have made that as explicit as it could have.  My point is guys that I somehow fear the effects of trying to change a texture that isn't present on a ship at all.  If you switch, say, from the Eze to a Herc in loadout but the mission has you in a ship with 01 plastered on the side, what will happen.  It works perfectly on the Fenris because by definition the mission designer has control over the class of ship that's being effected.  With a fighter, and a human-pilotable fighter at that, the assumption that you know what class of ship you're dealing with suddenly gets thrown out the window.

EDIT: And the spawning wings thing has to do with how reinforcements come in when you have multiple waves.  I think that each wave is a copy of the original with a different range of identifying numbers, though I'm not 100% sure of that.  Suppose I could test it out pretty easily though with a couple of cruisers though.

Probably it could be a nice idea to create an automatic system,
something like...
your main texture is ezegreen.pcx your plating number is XX-ezegreen.pcx (where X is a number)
when in FRED you give to a ship a texture XX-name.pcx and there are textures with same name and successive numbers, give to the wings successive numbers
