Not saying we will or won't come out with two models.. but why can't the fan campaign makers open up the model and change the centerpoint themselves?

I once tried it with the existing Colossus model, but this isn't as easy as you might think. It least for me it didn't work, but I admit that this doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Besides, it was just a suggestion, not a demand.

[Kolgena]

Just wondering: Any way to fix the gimpy warp-in, where it kind of poofs half of its front into existence?

This too is caused by the centre being off.

Sounds like this is more of an SCP fix then. Either way, it looks really really bad, and should be fixed soon. (I also wonder what happens if you are in the space occupied by the colossus prior to it poofing into existence...)

You end up flying inside it, ended inside the NTD Uhuru in kings gambit a few times

How is this coming? It looks too epic to die.

[Hades]

It's not dead, it's been in game for several months now.

[StargateSpankyHam]

 Oh wow - tells you how often I've opened up the Colossus... 

[General Battuta]

It's in game, but it hasn't been released. It'll be in the 3.6.14 MVPs.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

It could be in 3.7, even.

[General Battuta]

You don't say.

[Droid803]

or maybe 4, cause we decided we had enough of decimals and would much rather just increment one's like sane people.
(or we could just count by revision number like nightlies, which is much better mhm. **** those arbitrary x.x.x designations. I don't like the fact that we'll all be dead before we hit 5, cause hell, as far as I recall, we started at 3, and we're still on 3 after 10 years.)

[StargateSpankyHam]

...in game, but not released?

This is confusing.

[Droid803]

I know right, FSU has this fascination with keeping our HTL models from us.
They do so in the name of testing, it seems...

[Rodo]

lol!

[General Battuta]

...in game, but not released?

This is confusing.

A large team of modelers, texturers, and specialists called the FreeSpace Upgrade Project works together to create, test, and perfect new models for the MediaVPs.

These models are extensively tested in-game to ensure they do not break existing missions, so they can serve as drop-in replacements for the originals.

For this reason, the model is not released until after a period of careful testing and refinement. It's not done until they're sure it's done.

[Mongoose]

I think we should wait until 3.14.159.2653, personally.

[Dragon]

Also, IIRC, textures are still being worked on. It's an enormous ship that needs very large, high quality normal maps, and they take time to make.
I'd like to see it released for public testing (like Sath) when it's complete. Public beta would most likely speed things up.

[Rga_Noris]

The Sath was released with no known issues and completed maps. While it ma see some changes before the MVP's, tey will be minor bug fixes. To release the colly now would be foolish... No shines or normals. It is not complete enough to release, just enough to test.

[Dragon]

I know. As I said, I'd like to see it released when it's complete, I'm aware that textures are still being worked on.

[Luis Dias]

SCREENSHOTS?!?

[HAZARDLEADER]

The colossus was already bad ass,  now its ten times more bad ass. THIS IS AWESOME!!!
