Okay, we have something.
The ship's model and gunnery are ready to go, but I encountered a few issues:
1. The textures got mashed to hell when I scaled them down. I wanted to use a 1024x1024 texture instead of the 2048x2048 I worked with. I still have the bigger one, so that can be worked out.
2. It looks better with specmaps.
3. NONE of the subsystems will appear in-game. No idea what happened here. Every .pof editor on my computer is telling me everything checks out and ready to go, but FS2 is throwing hissy-fits.
The ship averages 470 m long, pushes 30 m/s, and has 2 beam cannons, 3 missile launchers, and 4 AAA guns and 14 laser cannons. It is indeed a 'Heavy Cruiser.' It'll take quite a lot of stuff out real fast if you use my Hellion missiles. I'll include some new missiles for it when I upload it.
