What once was clean and shiny....




is now filthy and grimy...









what once was filthy and grimy... Xenu makes....





.....holy

This is Xenu's first pass at completely MUCKING up the Viper into a battle hardened state.

Inspired by his efforts, I took up the task of making an intermediate stage to the Viper's life-cycle.

Indeed. Are we ever going to get some original series models out of you Omni?

[StratComm]

Omni, why do the target boxes on those vipers appear to be the size of the pilot?

[kasperl]

Think you could do the lower couple of images with in-game decals?

Wow...damage decals, too!

[NGTM-1R]

Why do I think a Viper wouldn't even be functional with that kind of damage?

[StratComm]

The chunk missing from the right engine may have something to do with it.  To me, "battle damage" means scorches and burns, dings, and other cosmetic failings that don't affect flight performance or hull stability.  Literally having holes in the plating usually wouldn't get past the first pass of maintanence screening.

Ok, now thats (the middle stage) is what I wanted!

[Unknown Target]

All the combat damage on the bottom pictures should be removed, IMHO, and made into damage decals (those are still in the code, right?)

[Deepblue]

Yes.

Keep & use for debris model.

Don't throw away the damaged Viper. One big point of the series is limited resources, right? You could always use that one for a sudden Cylon attack shortly following another one. (Not enough time to fix up the fighter, but a dire enough situation that the fighter is scrambled anyway.)

Or, for a Viper a pilot has ejected from for whatever reason.

It just looks really cool.

Thanks for posting the regular new texture earlier, I like the shiney untouched one... I'm all for in-combat damage though, but you have tio HIT me first! :;

[Carl]

Wow, Omni! you :thepimp:ed it out!

[Deepblue]

Omniscaper, if you let me play with that Viper I will make weapons and thrusters (see B5 v3 for example) for your TC (and weapons models if you need them).

[Omniscaper]

Hmmm... Please clarify, Deepblue

[Ypoknons]

It needs more dirt. ^_^

(I'm sorry, it's just an old XWAU thing.)  The dirt is really quite understated and suitable on the one that is ... not busted.
