This thread is exactly about the poly-richened Cain/Lilith. ;)

With all due respect, you've completely missed the point.  As I've already said the problem is not that the Cain's ability to shoot you is changed but that your ability to shoot the Cain's turret is improved.

Personally I think it's a fairly minor change but there is a change and we'd have to see the ship in-game to know how big a change it is.

No, this thread is about some funky terran disco ship.

I deduce that you do not like that model very well.

I like it.

But it definately isn't shivan, nor is it a Lilith.

It looks Shivan enough. I mean...how can it not? It's instantly recognizable as the Cain, which happens to be...A SHIVAN CRUISER.

I can't see how people can say this doesn't look like the original Cain.  This thing is a freakin' work of art.  Nicely done. :D

you're right tho; I haven't taken a proper look at it yet.

 
most people dont know a good high poly model when it kicks them in the balls, and it is unmistakenly a cain, and better than the original and i dont care if the missile turret thing affects the gameplay, its worth the upgrade.

how does the turret change make it easier to shoot? its just got cool little neatoids on the sides, making it perfectly the same.

unless yer in fact putting the turret on the OUTSIDE of those little things... o.O

It depends on whether those things are part of the turret or not.  If they are, then the turret is easier to hit.  If not, then they are harder (in fact, much harder).  In both cases, it affects balance, and is potentially a problem.

Actually...they were ridiculously hard to get an angle on before. The cone where you had an angle on them was small, maybe a little over eighty degrees.
