Or is that one where you've borrowed the turret models and added new ones to the ship?

Nope, that’s your up-gunned Orion. I haven’t gotten around to re-gunning the Orion yet. I am glad to here you still have the Orion you were working on. Bob’s HTL Orion just won’t work for this project. If you ever release your Orion model I would defiantly use it.  ;7

THAT was Ryx's uber-mega-stupidly-high poly render model.  That level of detail will never reach FS.  Not as far as I know... :nervous:

I'll dig out that Orion scn at some point, but I don't think there is much more I can do with it.  It's pretty much at the point of texturing, and I'm afraid I'm no texturer.  Turrets yes, whole ships...  :o :(

I can try.  Maybe using a UVmap... :doubt:

Just enough to bring it up to FS2 standards, so about 30

Well, my Orion and Hecate on hades Combine got 30 and 32 turrets respecitvly.
The upturreted Typhon is not there, but I can send it over, it has 29 turrets or so...

b.t.w. - how do you import glowpoints?
I have started to add glowpoint on all my ships (tehy really do improve it so much) Hecate starts to look realy fancy now, but I tried to import the glowpoints from the HTL orion into my OrionAdv, but PCS keeps chrashing.

What's hte latest PCS version anyway?

I still hope someone will get Rxy's turrets down to fs2 count levels.

Plus remember Hamano's Orion?  :yes:

Yeah, Ryx's Orion was looking very good. Its too bad it was too high-poly for FS2. Hopefully someone who has time to kill (LOTS of time) will make it a bit less .... detailed (never thought I'd say that). :)

If you liked the above links you'll like them even more once I finish adding glows to all of them..

HEre, try this:

http://www.hades-combine.com/web/hosted/fow/ShipsTexturesTables/Lancer.rar

http://www.hades-combine.com/web/hosted/fow/ShipsTexturesTables/HecateAdvV3.rar


This are the pofs of the ships to which I added glows so far. You'll still have to get the textures from the old version on Hades-Combine.

But they look much nicer.. they have running light and signal lights and other lights.

I say we take all the Orions out there, chop off all the coolest parts of each of them, and make a FrankenOrion.  :nervous:

Ah, but everyone has different opinions of what is the 'coolest' part of each one...

Ah... nice to see someone using my up-gunned Orion, even with the persvaive infulance of Bob's 'Busy Bee' Orion!  Or is that one where you've borrowed the turret models and added new ones to the ship?

No, I'm not really a fan of Bob's HTL upgrade.  I did actually start work on my own, but I was told to abandon it.  Partly because I was trying to 'balance' the two sides to have equal mass each side of the engines.

The reason you were told not to persue it was twofold.  One, we don't need tons of versions of the same ship running around, as it just confuses people.  When bugs come up with the model (as they inevitably do) it's a real pain to figure out which one is the problem if there are a half dozen or more of.  And the fact that people aren't really fond of Bob's Orion is somewhat irrelivant, as that model itself has been renovated at least twice visually (there are many more versions for other reasons).  It's also very hard to address balance issues when there are a lot of versions as inevitably there are differences in placement and ease of distruction of turrets, subsystems, etc.  Secondly, a "rebalanced" Orion would cause problems with placement (again, subsystems in particular, but also larger geometric features).  As a "new" design or a refit that's fine, but if it goes in to a media VP then it becomes a problem as it can affect existing missions in ways that are impossible to prevent.
