Hmmm? I mean the Tiigran fighters. Look more bad ass than the Hiigaran ones. We haven't seen much of the Tiigran capital ships yet, except for this one, so too early to judge.

I use TrueSpace 3.2, and a trick:
PCS has a scale function, I'll just set it 200:1 instead of the default 20:1, so I don't need to make huge models.
And the fighter in the scene is also 10x smaller than the original model to fit the scale of the capships.

The artillery will be using Retsof's unpublished blobs and effects (he's got talent, so don't worry :p)

And the Tiigrans are inspired a bit by the playable races in HW, a little by the Projenitors from HW 2 :cough: Hussar :/cough:, and a little by existing FS ships such as the Deimos. However, most of the style is my own ideas.

Options->Preferences->lower left part of the window-> COB scaling factor in PCS 2.

BTW- how good are you in UV mapping/tile mapping/texturing capships?

I might have a place for you in the 'Credits' section of the ToTT.

I like your capital ship models.

They do come across as projenitor-esque. At least form the side. :p

Sorry for the double post, but yes, we have. We'd be honored to have you. Hit me up on my AIM account via ICQ (Yes, you can do that :))

In that case- send me a PM, who's interested.
FREDders (Retsof's concentrating on visual effects now so we have 1 fredder, although a good one), texturers, UV mappers (especially those who do capships, there are 2 in the team, both are doing something, and there's still enough models almost ready for another part time member), and maybe HTLers (who could beef up both model looks and texture quality) are welcome.
Lets see how good of a manager I can be, while spending most of my free time studying. :p

That was a bad misspell. Apologies myself for the dp :lol: i'm installing a service pack at the moment so my comp will be busy for a short while. How long you on-line for Hellstryker? I need to re-register on icq. My old account got locked due to inactivity. Only 6 years. . .not much :(

Only 6 years? The bastards!  :p I should be on well into the night (US Eastern time) now that school's over :)

 
This is amazing, how you've managed so much progress over such a small timespan is mind boggling! And i love your ships. They really stand out from the normal Terran/Shivan/Vasudan designs.

The only thing that's bugging me is the fact that they went from being a cool Kilrathi like kinda race to a squid race...TBH if they were a watery race wouldn't their ships be...well, more blueish and lighter? Cause the dark nature and the orange stripes fits more with the idea that they are a feline race of some sorts.

I wish you good luck in this endeavour. I would hate to see this fall into the archives as an unreleased mod.

The cap ships are passably Terran at this point due top blockyness, though the skins can change all that. (I hope)

I would have though they would have more rounded hulls (like the fish guys from Star Wars). And yeah, the colour scheme does suggest feline race.

The color scheme I chose is simply to make them look rather aggressive, and the orange glow adds somewhat to the coolness factor.
Also- Terran ships are beam heavy, so these won't work as good terrans (unless refitted with a few custom turrets). :p
