Remember that crappy fighter I made?
Tada!   Hehehe.






This is a very small drone, only 7 meters long (If that's way too small I can scale it up)  Not much of a threat individually but dangerous in swarms.  Now I just have to get Truespace and learn how to texture.

Well, whatever you want it for really.  It would be awesome if this got used in some high-level-mod. *cough*hinthint*cough*

Re: Remember that crappy fighter I made?
To be honest I think it can serve as a drone. It even has what seems to be a "computer head".

I would personally use it.

Re: Remember that crappy fighter I made?
Good to see a ship that isn't the regulation size. Imagine having a swarm of really crappy fighters flying around you...and it looks better than the Amazon drone by far. About the detail you put on it -  will this just be a texture or actual detail?

Re: Remember that crappy fighter I made?
Actually, that's pretty good.

It reminds me of one of the Shiva fighters in INFR1...the one based off the Jotun.

The Shivan bomber based on the Jotun was the Kahlan. Though personally I don't see that much of a resemblance besides the bottom fin and the two missile bays.

What did you model it in ?
Looks like Google SketchUp, which franky isn't very good for actual in-game models since it creates buggy geometry.

Re: Remember that crappy fighter I made?
Seriously....I hate it when people say 'Oh, I made a crappy product'. Hey, get this. You are one of the lucky ones inside HLP who knows how to model, and I am jealous now.

A descent model, to say the truth. But isn't it a bit blocky?

Just get Sketchup, It's the easiest modeling program there is.  As for it being blocky, I've gotten dissaproval for that before, I just like blocky ships.  (besides, it's based on drawings I made and blocks are easier to draw  :P )

I've heard that it's very hard to convert models made in SketchUp to FS2.

I feel that blocky ships are useful as early Terran ships. ;)

Re: Remember that crappy fighter I made?
You hardly need aerodynamics in space, if a fighter is purely developed for space, I'd think the focus would be on making it hard to hit and making it stealthy. And for stealth a more blocky design makes much more sense than curves.

Re: Remember that crappy fighter I made?
I think I'll upload it to FSMods.  Needs a name though.  Help me think of a name and I'll put it up.  Then someone can convert it and mabe give me a baseline UV map to work with.
