Still need to add glowpoints, but the model seems to be working properly. No major hicups converting to pof.

[Scooby_Doo]

Ugh, nevermind till April 1 is over LOL

[karajorma]

Looking pretty good.

[Mefustae]

That's quite excellent, and the cockpit designs you've come up with are pure class... remind me again how to bring up the cockpit again?

[Unknown Target]

It's pretty good, but those striped engines are kinda funny looking

[Scooby_Doo]

Not sure what to put for the engine cowes..

and more pics.... this time the Rapier. This ones undergone several repaints over and over again LOL
I need to redo the cockpit... theres barely any viewing room.






Edit: Cockpit has been redone, much more viewing space now.

[Gregster2k]

:whistles: Nice.

[Zantor]

Looking pretty good.

I agree.

[Cobra]

the only criticisim i have to make is that the Athena still looks bloated. thin it out.

the other models and cockpits are spectacular though.

[Scooby_Doo]

Sorry about the Athena... if I keep strechting it out, I'll have to start reporportion(sp?) it to keep it under 800m, it's already 780m some....
Wait.. is there a class between destroyer and cruiser? (in nautical terms, not FS2)

[Mefustae]

If you're looking for the name of a class directly between the two - much like the Battlecruiser, a half-way point between Cruiser and Battleship - you'll have to make one up. Just go for the old chestnut of 'Heavy Destroyer' or 'Light Cruiser', or just come up with an entirely new class to fit the role you ship is best suited to, such as Escort Destroyer or soforth.

[Scooby_Doo]

Well it was already classified as a heavy destroyer, armed with medium weaponary, only cruisers and up carry the really big heavy guns. Although the Ajax is so small compared to it, it's almost in a monitor.

Now this is a cruiser, now what type of cruiser, cruiser or strike is still up in the air.  I'll start converting as soon as the Athena has its glow points.
BTW how is scripted animation done? I know the objects must be subobjects in the pof and the center of rotation is on the rotating axis.  Which axis is used and what is the subobject's pof entries?  It's is for the launch doors on the front of the fighter bay.







Edit: Yes I've fixed those blue windows, they elluded me till i had finished uploading all these pics. LOL

[shwiing]

wow, sweet, any idea whan these will be available?

[Cobra]

WTR.

[[DW]-Hunter]

Isnt there already a ship called athena

[Unknown Target]

Most ship names are taken already. There's nothing wrong with having two ships named something common like Athena...but if there were two Golgothas however, that'd be weird.

[Cobra]

"Alpha, the Golgotha will be jumping in momentarily!"
"OH NOES!"

[Scooby_Doo]

LOL "don't worry Alpha 1 we've got a wing of Sathanas jumping in to help you" 

As far as I know athena (my own naming), pirhana (the missile), demon and dragon are the only name collisions offhand, and since theres a title (GTCv....) theres no problem with missions.

BTW, bloat on the Athena isn't the main problem... As I was getting the glowpoints setup, I found out the fighter bay is too small for the big ships (like excalibur)... OPPS "Sorry alpha 1 you'll have to land somewheres else".  Course this is a destroyer, their not suppose to carry the big fighters/bombers, just medium/light defense fighters.

[Scooby_Doo]

and now the Aurora has been converted, just needs the glow/engine points left (I think)

Strike cruiser class, replacing the well out-of-date Hades class as top dogs in this class.

[gaberad]

Could someone explain a few things about cockpit views for me please:
1)  Are they available in the 3.6.7 vps or do you need special models for them?

2)  How do you turn the cockpit view on?
