just a question. Is this one finally a normal ship or is it still a baseball bat? :P

Well...a Colossus is a Colossus, so...
It's a high-quality, finely-crafted baseball bat. :P

Oh, BTW Galemp, he collision still seems to be messed up in for the head, and some parts on the body.

Yep. Sure is. How about that.

A hand-carved Louisville Slugger, as it were.

This should hopefully whet some appetites. A few lines still need refining and I'm only up to maybe 12% of the texture surface done.

I shall sacrifice 25hs replaying FS to see this one ingame.

And those will be the coolest 25hs I will have wasted in my entire life.

Exactly what I was going to say. A person could comfortably sit in one of those trenches and not be tall enough to see above its edges. Still looks really good though.

The coolness meter just shot through the roof.

There should be a multiplayer dogfight mission where you get to choose between either a Mara or a Perseus and go toe-to-toe between this Colly and one of the WIP Sathanas juggernauts. Extra points for beam spam.

Are there any news concerning this?

Does anyone know where "V" got the inspiration for naming that ship?

Was it the famous Colossus from Rhodos,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus_of_Rhodes

this,
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2318244.The_Anarchistic_Colossus

or this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Colossus_(1787)

this,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Colossus_(1910)

and this, (what I consider most plausible)
(one of those ships, probably the carrier, launced in 1943)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Colossus

I do hope it wasn't the Anarchistic Colossus depicted in that sci fi book by A.E. Van Vogt, because this would imply an endorsment of Anarchy, in my mind. The very thought that in the future, Anarchy will have become a way of life brings chills down my spine. Even more so, with a computer running things.

If you want to be ready for Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn, then download and play the prologue first.

Here,

http://www.wcsaga.com/downloads/files/download/releases-prologue-setup-exe.html

Then, while waiting for the Darkest dawn, Download Starshatter 4.02

http://www.starshattermods.com/infusions/pro_download_panel/download.php?did=214

You 'll understand why once you have.

The first mission with the big C was named The Sixth Wonder. Take a guess. (Not to mention the near-universal Greek/Roman naming scheme for terran ships).

Also, anarchy ftw.

Also, I don't know exactly where, but there's been quite a bit of improvement since the last post here. You might notice this thread is quite old.
