Remeber the ancient mesh the Xanthus?
Recently I was checking out some alternate B5 ships and several designs look very similar to it, especialy the TRITON (they could almost be twins! Xanthus is missing the top and botom weapons humps and some bow decorations but their unique front bridges are 100% identical). Now my question is, which one came first (was Xanthus inspired by the B5 ships?) or is it a case of seperate development?
Regardless sicne the original Xanthus was sans textures (and people were not that thrilled with my shivan/spidey mask texture he he) I took the textures off a Triton and mixed an Orphen and Warlock as well and this was the best I could do but at least it's named and is close to what the B5 version looks like.
BTW the rear engine glows peek out through the engine cowling whenview from the rear at a 45 degree arc in any direction (I mentioned this before with fighters). Is this a bug as I reduced the glows significantly and any smaller would be not good looking for a capship
