The original model used the same turrets as the Aeolus (the side ones, with the six holes.) Raven seems to like those so I guess I'll reinstate them.

I agree about the square turrets, but I am not fond of the huge wing turrets that you put on late.  IMHO, the pure upgrade version of this should do without them, as they change the profile and (more importantly) occupy the same space as the player starts out in during Mystery of the Trinity.

Maybe a version of the model with, and a version without the wing turrets?

Raven says he'd like to keep the bottom quad turrets, but yeah, the top ones are definitely going.

Here's some updates on the mapping...






Remapped the big turrets.

The only thing it needs is a base for the turrets. I'm sure they don't want to hear...SCREEECH, BOOM, ERRR-ScREEEEECH.;)

I still think they're too big.

But your ability to get the most out of maps amazes me.

Dunno, they weren't in the files he sent me. I think I'll rebuild them anyway, 'cause they're so cool. :D

I didn't like those turrets very much, so I dumped the idea...

Oh the mapping job is looking great :)

I kind of like the quad turrets, they remind me of the Millenium Falcon. ;)

Very impressive textures though, are you using the originals or the mediaVP ones, or new ones?

I'm using the MediaVP textures, and a modified capital01-06a (the Orion turret map) for the turrets, color-matched with the original Colossus texture.
