For future reference, it's generally not that good of an idea to bump a thread over a week old when all you have to say is only marginally related to the original topic, and that by virtue of merely mentioning the same ship. ;)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Not to mention the big C would likely roast 10 icenis if they planned on ramming..
actualy, mabye not.

How'bout the carnivorous C? How would it do against ten ramming Iceniae?

Toss a bridge of some sort on the top of the Iceni's "head." (something small like the one on the front of the Fenris)

Then add some armor plating to the lower part of the bottom.

That way it's got more visual stuff, and looks functional.

I always pictured the Iceni bridge being on the top front of the central body above the "neck" and that the "head" was just for weapons and sensor arrays and such.

i don't know this thread is already pretty old :p
Every pilot's goal is to rise up in the ranks and go beyond their purpose to a place of command on a very big ship. Like the colossus; to baseball bat everyone.

Looks super-amazing, and is definitely a massive improvementt over the "old box".
One thing about the nameplate, is it "extra" ? Can it be removed/renamed to Iceni, or is it going to stay as "Bellerophon" ?
Little mindless nittpicking here, but it's truly an awesome job....

So, ETA for release ? Do we have to wait for new Media VP, or is it "stand alone" release ?
Lot's of questions, but for the model of that calibre, it's just normal

Keep up the good work...
 :yes:

i'm pretty sure that when the next mediavp's come out it will have texture replacement done on it in the main fs2 campaign. for now, it's standalone, but it'll be put in the media vp's for the next release. ;)

I use the name Bellerophon because it's long, and because

What if you wanted to make, say, the GTF Bellerophon?

You'd either have to break the long word up or write Bellerophon really tiny. Too much fiddling around IMO for too little gain.


It's only for testing purposes, the default will either be blank or NTF Iceni
