Well, OK. I intended to have this "bathroom tiles" be "passive-reactive armor", basically a new, post WC4 (and thus flashpak-resistant) kind of armor.

Starbase conversion is going good. No major pcs2 lockups, although there is quite a bit of subobject subsystems (not actually subsystems) so I don't know if they count in the subsystem max.
With any luck, lodding should be easy for this guy.

Edit: Nope I'm wrong, lodding (at least level 3 is a pain, stupid line removal tools are destroying the mesh)

TCF Predator

Looks really great.

Rapier derived variant
This was my original version dating back to 2004:


and a couple WIP pics of the newer version medium class superiority fighter.


weapon loadout went from the rapier 2 which original had 2lasers/2neutrons to 2lasers/2particle now has 2particle/2pulseparticle.  For a while I had it set to 1cloudburst/2particle which would have made it a devastating fencing fighter.

Looks good, though it's rather different from the Rapier. Maybe you could come up with a different name, and call the second Rapier you mentioned earlier that.

[Scooby_Doo]

Consider it a grandchild of the original rapier 2's... possibly rapier 3 or 4 (depending on what Arena used).  Definitely not the rapier 1 descendant... that this was uglier than sin ROFLOL

[Dragon]

Looks good, though the resemblance is still somewhat limited. Still, good for a Rapier IV. I'd like to see your other Rapier adhere to WC1 design somewhat more closely. I hope to someday try reskinning your WC1-derived ships to resemble the originals much more.

[Scooby_Doo]

Considering the original rapiers from the movie looking nothing like the mark 2 versions, and even the mark 2 A is quite different then the mk 2 H.  Even the Arena rapiers looked different.  Anyways who doesn't want rapiers with thrust vectoring   


Also if you want the G/H models, that is included with Saga.

[Scooby_Doo]

And it's now available on the release thread :-)

I liked the old Rapier. Its blocky shape...or its just me beeing nostalgic ^_^

The new Rapier looks good. It has some kind of retro style to it. Might even concider it a predecessor of the original Rapier somehow.

[headdie]

very nice, kind of reminds me of a hornet

[Nyctaeus]

Love the model, but Your old texturing style for fighters was better in my opinion.

You mean like that rapier a few pics ago i posted?  That one looks very dated and low-detailed.


Also Katana roughly based on the concept shot of the Panther (which looked considerably different than the game version)

[Scooby_Doo]

and textured....

[Dragon]

This one looks badass.

[Scooby_Doo]

I've had a rough time with this one (and the jendevi).  I could never get it looking just right.  I just threw some detail stuff on it and called it a day (actually more like 5 years  )

Also the guns are still attached the old fashion way. I have a few things I want to see if I can get working before I start implementing new stuff.  (better cockpits, landing gears... stuff like that)

[Deathsnake]

You see the Star Citizen Trailer? What did you think? Building a lot of Wing Commander Models in that Level of detail in the CryEngine 3? After I see the Gameplay Videos how you walk around that carrier, jump into the cockpit, I was thinking: what would Scooby do in this engine? ^^

For the Ingamescenes go to min 24.00

7 Million Polys for a Carrier, 300.000 for a fighter and 100.000 for a charakter. Btw how many polys you use?

[Dragon]

If you can do landing gear with rotations only you can use a simple script to get them working. Either ask in scripting forum or PM FoTG guys for their s-foils script. I can help you with getting landing physics working.

[Scooby_Doo]

The tiny rapier version, still needs a name.  Considerable smaller than the other rapier. It's about the size of the dagger/cobra ships
