If you were to modernize the Loki...
How would you do it?

I ask because It's one of my favorite looking ships. It's not all that bad to fly, either.  I have a mesh that is basically a copy of the body and cocpit, that I'm working on, and I'd like to make it more of a modern version, but am at a loss.

Suggestions? Or am I beating a dead horse, too?

I think the exhausts look rather small on them in the Tech Room, but ingame the effect is quite good. And ultimately, I'm going to be looking at it ingame, so...

Add more sharp, angled edges to emphasise the stealth aspect of the ship.

It has micro roughed hull so - put in lots of little holes, or bumpmap it and beg Bobb for in game bumpmapping.

Micro probably means that it's so small that you don't see it.:p

Engines, "wings", cockpit. Those are the places to start from. The textures will give you a hint of the intended shape.

I may be a newbie, but I can give the Loki a FS2-ish look...somewhat...

I hope you all don't see this as me crashing or spaming someone elses thred, but i just had to find out what it might look like.  So i though together a five min whip of a possability.



This is what i came up with.  I know its boxy still but it is only a cheap throw together...
