I always liked the Yama, or at least what little I ever got to see of it. Is there a pic anywhere that shows off all of the original Yama clearly?

*stumbles into thread during quick break*
*begins a 5-second thought process on whether or not 72 entries is enough*
*Brain starts nagging: "Stop thinking epic, stop aiming so high! In the first place, little has been done, time is so scarce, and FRED/tabling skill isn't of credible standard anyway, just aim lower with a more reasonable/reachable goal!!!"*
*Internal argument in brain takes place about the different fleets in Inferno, both active and dropped*
*?Contemplating splitting of mods to make an idea work?*
*But a mod split is so messy, and folders couldn't get anymore messy! Is there something else? How, how, how?*
*end result: no end result*

Back to lurk-mode for now... that said:

Will you guys be updating anything that's already been dropped and making it public release (maybe on the back burner for now, since releasing the mod comes first)?
Or will they just be released as-is (I don't remember anything that's been dropped seriously made into HTL form; updated textures was probably the most that's done, but hey, at least that's better than nothing)?

Or something else? Just curious...

[Woomeister]

Yeah we plan to release other stuff we aren't using any more in the future. Though we don't have any scrapped textures unless they are part of a ship, and we don't have much HTL standard dumped stuff since we're still using it all. There's only 2 I can think of and they both need stuff I can't release just yet but they will be released eventually.

scroll prehaps?

[rscaper1070]

If it delays the release, I vote no, But if it doesn't, why not.

[Commander Zane]

I suppose as the fighter you're introduced to in INFR1, it would be nice to see it again.

Me, but please change the paintjob to something more Terran. I've had a few friendly-fire incidents involving these ships before.

[Trivial Psychic]

Um, its not a design that can easily be mistaken for something else.

I've always liked the Vesuvius design - it was unique, and really well done back before there were all that many high quality FS2 mods. Plus the paintjob was cool, and I think that converting the red gradient cockpit to a more typical Terran visible cockpit should cut down on friendly fire. And, from an INF PoV, it was the first fighter from the first mission of InfR1. Even if it only comes back as an easter egg,it should come back.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

One of the things I liked, and still like, about the Vesuvius is that it is incredibly versatile, like the Apollo or Athena. There is no other ship available to the player during the INFR1 campaign that is as versatile as it is.

I really dislike the locations of the primaries on the Vesuvius.  It isn't as bad as the Ursa, but it is enough to make targeting annoying.

Not me. The Vesuvius is ugly, it has always been ugly, and no amount of effort can eliminate its essential ugliness.

In its place, how about the Ophion? There was a model that not only looked unique, but looked good.

[CaptJosh]

See, I can't agree that it's bad that the ship is ugly. Look at the current generation of strike craft in the US military. In particular the A-10 Thunderbolt. Yes, "Thunderbolt" is its actual designation. But it's not a pretty plane. It's so ugly it got nicknamed the Warthog. But it's one of the meanest things in the sky, especially in air to mud action. It can carry a heavy payload under its wings, and when that's gone, it still has the heaviest rotary cannon ever built into a fixed wing aircraft. That cannon can actually counterthrust the engines at low speeds, which could drop the plane out of the air if the pilot is not careful. It's why they use short bursts, rather than sustained fire. Nobody ever said it was pretty though. It's just big and mean. And there's nothing wrong with that. Why shouldn't we have a big, mean, ugly-ass fighter for the GTVA?

[shiv]

Please, have a mercy.

Since I remember Vesuvius always have been ugly and still is one of the ugliest ships for FreeSpace 2 that I have ever seen. I just wish it's out forever and repleaced by something cooler. There is plenty of better ships that are already released to public.

[starwolf1991]

Oh hell yes to wanting to see the Vesuvius HTLED. One of my old school favorites right there! DO EET!

The Vesuvius is gorgeous compared to the Sabus...

And the Cyone.

The Vesuvius at least has a chance to look really good. Not these other two.

[headdie]

what you on about the Sabus looks good, the cyone on the other hand does look like a dogs backside

Oh yes please, for me that thing is the iconic Inferno fighter and in dire need of some modeling love.
