Hey FS2 Denizens!

I have done something my old man was never able to do [well]!  I have textured that Shivan fighter found in one of Aldo's modeldumps.  Daddy told me to give it a try, and here it is:

So, what do you think?  Any comments are welcome!

That looks cool! :eek:

It does look a touch large for a fighter, however... more akin to a bomber, unless it was specified as some kind of "heavy" Ares-type fighter.
We have returned to continue our purification of this galaxy. It is again your turn to be crushed beneath the great force that is the Antaran army. All your petty squabbling with the other beings in this galaxy is meaningless. The Antaran fleet will destroy you all, one by one. You may not surrender. You cannot win. Your only option is death.

Pretty nice. I like how it looks assymetrical (sp?) in perspective, but really isn't.

Something about the "wings" makes me think terran, though... in fact, on a second look the whole ship looks like a terran-shivan hybrid ship.

Excellent work. I can't see a single thing wrong with it, which is a pretty rare exception. You've captured the Shivan look very well, and I woulnd't have noticed if someone told me this was an orignal V ship.

Looks beautiful although..the maps look umm...cartoony? Not saying it's bad, but it reminds me of something....not sure what it is...looks great though!

More black, less gunmetal on the textures.  Otherwise :yes2::yes::yes:
who needs a signature? ;)

Crank up the contrast a tiny bit, and that'll look awesome with glowmaps :)

Nice looking ship, though I agree it looks a bit too big for a fighter :)

It looks a bit too terran to be shivan IMHO.

Right, make the grey a bit darker. Right now, it looks too metallic and therefore too Terran. Sorry, I first viewed the picture on my mom's monitor which is always too dark, so it lookd normal.

Give it black armor and you'll have something that can scare the missiles off an Ares or the primaries off an Erynies. :tup:

It looks quite Shivan to me.
SF Dragon Mk II?

Hmm...Dragon MKII? Depends, how fast does that baby fly? At first glance, that thing brought to my mind "Basilisk." I'm not sure if that ship could be anything completely NEW on its own.

Anyway, I changed the gamma on that map, and it did look better darker.  More menacing.

Below is an in-game screenshot of the fighter just moments before Rampage was killed by it.



Hey, how about a name?

Make it much darker. Eliminate the red on the base map, and leave it to the glowmaps to make the red shine. Give it massive speed, and very light armor, and you'll have yourself a winner.:yes2::):yes:
