I'd like the turret, if it would face forward, not upward...
But still, the model is truly outstanding...

Animation code....

I bet the pilot is feeling horribly exposed in that tiny tin can of a cockpit of his.

It's nothing about the HTL version, I understand that that's just what Medusa looks like. Still, the bulky rear and the sleek, tender, tiny cockpit seem somewhat humorously constrating to me.
But at least he's a bit farther from the engines/weaponry when **** hits the fan. Not that it matters. WE FIGHT TILL DEATH FOR HONOUR GLORY AND EMPEROR

Actually, with cockpit view enabled, it feels VERY secure. Bars all around you.

[StratComm]

Good stuff; I just wished you took a bit of creative interpetation over the cockpit and added some modelled plating.

Talk to about ship design, not me.  The cockpit is actually huge, much larger than it needs to be even for two men, and since my stated goal was to improve what I consider an already great design the last thing I was going to do was to start messing around with the proportions and shape of one of the two essential features of the Medusa.  And besides, the LOD transition from LOD0 to LOD1 is VERY smooth, and LOD1 is just the old LOD0 model.

And while I never intended this thing to be used with cockpit view enabled (they're there for show for when you're trying to plant lasers up their exhausts, really) I'm glad they work ok for that.

[Ypoknons]

Nothing against your modelling, StratComm. I understand your decisions to stay true and respect that, it's just what I would have done in your place.

I know, it wasn't directed at you.

Spectacular!

Now we just need the Athena, Apollo, Ursa...

[Nuclear1]

This is good.

Very good.

I *may* do the Athena. But I doubt I'll do it justice.

[Cobra]

oh noes! a vasudan making a terran ship!

[Trivial Psychic]

You did a great job on the Serapis, so how about doing the Horus, complete with offset cockpit?

[Nico]

Pretty neat (the medusa) , I would just have made the black part of the pods bigger than the gery parts and not the other way around because, well, that's just how it is usually, on missile pods.

[Carl]

You HTL guys are all so awesome.

[Solatar]

Yep.

[pecenipicek]

awesome


one question, how do you turn the cockpit view on?

[StratComm]

Add "Show Ship" to the flags section of the ship entry in ships.tbl, either with a TBM or just by editing the master table.
