I think i´m going to give this one try with custom UV mapping it.
I´m thinking adding a WWII Tomahawk texture, with the shark jaws painted in the nose...
I think i´m gonna call it "Mirage", because that´s what a custom UV job done by me will be. A friggin mirage...  :D

Now that is cool!

If you could make the really tiny bits either dissapear, or very dumbed down (so that they don't become a waste with mapping) I could see that being used in TVWP ;7

That front view somewhat resembles an EA Lindos class destroyer from the Inferno mod. But a putting a mouth on it like the Loki has would be a nice addition.

I think it looks somewhat BSG-ish... especially the way the main guns are mounted.  It could be passed off as a fighter from the same era as the Viper MK.II, but in the same role as the Raptor, or as a heavy fighter.

Hey Swamp Thing you like S.S.T.? That model sorta reminds me of the only fighter we have seen in that universe...

nice, BSGish, the vent things on the tops of the engines are a bit waistfull, even for an HTL model, while the wings could use a few of those pollies.

don't like the rudder thing on the top of it, it might be cooler if you had something that wraped around from top to bottom

See, now the first thing I was reminded of was the XG-1 "Starwing" Assault Gunboat. I guess the overall result is that it's not only awsome looking, but fairly original. But the best part? It looks very Freespace Terran. Four grasping appendages up!

So, are all 6 of what I think are gun hardpoints actually guns? What's a missile bay rather than just a vent?

ooooooo.... preeeeetyyyyy..... :eek:
A alphabetically be in organised sentences should words.

 
I´ve been playing with the mesh a bit, and did a few changes.
How´s this? Any better?







Added rocket mounts under the wings, took out the nose mounts (looked odd), changed the top fin, and changed the wing tip guns. They are closer to the cockpit now, to avoid the "Claymore Syndrome"  where the shot would go wide and miss the target.
It is still not quite i would like, but i´m getting there...
