The next comer, GTF Theseus.
Textureing and UV related works are very tough things.

Ooh very nice, I like it.  It looks different than other terran fighters, which is a plus.  I think a little something should be added underneath the cockpit, that would make it look a lot better.(look more cylinderish).

[Fineus]

Sweep out the side wings a tad and you'll have a really very nice demi-atmospheric type thing! Good model!

[Nico]

Looking cool, but you could put more details to the mesh, since vanilla FS2 won't be used really much anymore, I think. Want my cockpit ( well, the pilot+dashboard+seat thing )?

[Jetmech Jr.]

Reminds me of the archangel fighter from tachyon. a very good ship you have there, indeed.

[mikhael]

Hamano, you certainly know how to make a sexy fighter.

[Ferret]

That's really lovely!

Although I have a slight recommendation, if you look at the top wireframe view, at the back of the figther there are four spikey prongs, they would look great but you've filled them up!

Please replace them with the four spikes and not that block.

[Nico]

No, that would suck
Plus I suppose it's the engine exhausts anyway.

[Flaser]

The fins would add it some balance.

The front of the ship has protruding guns and the long nose of the cockpit - the back of the ship lacks such details, so you're somewhat feeling the design "uncomplete".

Fins that point downwards and embrace the engine exhaust section could do the trick YF-23 like (that was the Boing contender for ATF IIRC), or you could add vertical fins - that would lead to a "Conventional" - but cool looking craft.

However the later would kill the spirit of its current UNIQUE, tailles design, while the "sparrow-tail" IMHO wouldn't.

You could also try to cut back on the 2 rectangular sections and see if the details get in balance.

That's my 2 cents.

Very Good design.

[Knight Templar]

Good, if not a little too flat.

[Stealth[cro]]

Not too flat at all, IMO. It would make a very good strike fighter, if I could figure out where its supposed missle bay is. Between the guns or under the cockpit?

Boo! Stick with the standard! Because I can't run the new stuff...

I'd say under the wings

[Stealth[cro]]

Well, that's another option

[Hamano]

Thank you for many replies!

Nico:
I saw your high-poly cockpit like Apollo in FS1 opening movie in other thread.
It is great, however, I want to make Theseus for normal FS2 program, not for the HTL version.

Flaser:
Thanks for your advice. Rear flat-detailless parts are engine nozzles as shown below.

Stealth[cro]:
Missile launchers will be placed under main wings.

Mmh, but now I have no doubt, you've been greatly inspired by the Vampire from prophecy, right?

[ryuune75]

Very very cute model, as usual for Hamano, but... is the cockpit the very same as the Herc3? Textures are very similar too. Related fighters?

[Trivial Psychic]

I was gonna say that this looks like terran designers took some cues from the Asteroth in design.

Mmmm. Vampire. That was a sick, beautiful ship.
