Dude.. not everyone can have glowmaps running... :doubt:

glowmaps slow me down so bad

Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

And thus, I have decided.

I shall name it [drumroll] - the SF Mantis.

We have the SF Scorpion, the SF Serpent, but I don't think we have a Mantis - yet.

By the way, the fighter is DONE.  But I have struck a deal [hehehe] with Woomeister for a trade with this and some of Inferno's Shivan ships.  [Nope, can't get the Gargant (spelling?).]

Hmm..now that you mention it, it does look like a mantis. Although, the first thing that pops into my head is "praying claws." But then staring at the "head" of that ship...it does kinda look like a mantis. Kinda. :D

Yummy, dude. :) Those textures pretty nice as well - I think those black lines could a tiny bit more definition, but otherwise, very, very, nice.
Long time ago, you see, there was this thing called the VBB and... oh, nevermind.

Good choice of name.:nod:

I take it from your post that you are not publicly releasing this craft. Shame.:sigh:

As has been said, the grey makes it look kinda crappy, but the overall texture design is very nice. Try darkening the grey parts seperately, as opposed to reducing the gamma over the entire map.

I have to agree with everyone, that grey need to be nearly black, only a few shades lighter than true black

Don't care if an SF Mantis already exists or not. There are at least 2 Hercules Mark IIIs here at HLP. ;)

Regardless if you decide to give it Inferno, would you still release it?

It rather makes me remember the Astaroth, if we try to find its predecessor from FS2.

I'm not going to give it to them.  I'm going to trade it with them.

But if you want the fighter, then work for Attempted Suicides.  Can you FRED?
