That, MB, would be an engine, much like the one on the deimos in the front.
Edit: bizzy, thats one hell of a description, I LIKE IT!

[Admiral_Stones]

Hm. That species will be another fish-like 

[BengalTiger]

So I'm back from wherever I was (university) but only to find out what's new in the topic.
I'll have time for more intesnive work starting Thursday afternoon.

NEW SHIP! Ready for UV mapping and Texturing once bengal gets back from wherever he is. The Tiigran Corvette, Based on the Deimos/Aeolus

EDIT: Added turrets but too lazy to update the Image

Is that a hangar down below there, or an engine?

And one hell of a forward facing, fortified from all sides torpedo tube/Shivan style Flux Cannon (developing guns for fighters gave me the idea that this species isn't really beam happy, I'll keep my capship ideas secret for now- but expect huge three-gun turrets resembling WW II battleships on them, with anti-capship-only flux guns)

[Hellstryker]

Don't you mean vasudan flux cannon? 

[darkship]

perhaps he is referring to the shivan megafunk turret/weapon

[BengalTiger]

Right- the weapon is named the Shivan Super Laser, but the FS1 Tech Room Description uses the term "massive Flux Cannons".

[Hellstryker]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I'm working on a little 'surprize', but I have a small problem here- I gave this weapon a muzzleflash, the flash works on the Hussar, but when I test-fire it from the Hecate's turrets (basically it's going to be a capship weapon), the flash doesn't work.

Anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it (if it's a common problem that is), because I don't really have time to play with this stuff untill tomorrow evening?

[Admiral_Stones]

I'm not sure, but in a turret tutorial it says you need to set the light points or so... Not sure though.

[BengalTiger]

Well...
I'm working on stock ships, so it shouldn't be the case...

Anyway:

Here's an Artillery salvo (Main gun for the battleship class- as I wrote before, the Tiigran-Merisst won't use too many BFbeams) without the muzzleflash (as soon as I get it working, I'll post another screenshot). It's test fired from the Orion because the BB still doesn't work yet (it's barely started):

Words... i should've sent... a poet...

[Hades]

[Titan]

im polish too. 

nice ship btw, for some reason that makes me think more of an interceptor then the fs ones, htose make me think space superiority/fighter... even though i do like their look.... still, that looks like an interceptor, and i love those muzzle flashes, can i give it a try? 

oh, and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!

[BengalTiger]

Guess Freespace doesn't like it when a non-flak, turret primary gets a muzzleflash...

Oh well...

[Hellstryker]

This, is how i always imagined freespace should be, no lie 

[BengalTiger]

So this is an update on the heavy bomber, the Cuirassier (The Hussar's there to compare the sizes).

The spheres on it's tail will be turrets.

I'm checking in after a few days of absence, I have recently missed some school and semester was today, so I was busy crunching.  First mission is halfway done.  I'll get it to you before Saturday, when I will be going on vacation for about a week-and-a-half.  Good job on the models and weapons, by the way.  They look like they are ready to kick some butt.

New concept art.. a dead merisst, out of water (which they need to survive)
