Not really, new models are new models, I like seeing whatever pops up.

SPECTRE87 · **Reply #101 on:** February 21, 2009, 05:24:44 pm

Well, seems like this ship is pretty much a no-go for this project, so I hope these new turrets are more suitable.

Jadehawk · **Reply #102 on:** February 21, 2009, 05:50:22 pm

If you ask me, I think you did a great job on your turrets. Hell the whole ship! Don't stop, keep going and it's only gonna get better.

Maybe you could add two small half circle or dome object on the turret sides that will do for the manual range finder. I have seen ships that have them and they are used as a backup when the main and auxiliary targeting systems are down. Each turret should be able to target accurately using a manual system, just not as fast as electronic systems.

Just my opinion.

Good luck!

your model is nice spectre, don't give up as this could be used on other special mods you know.

but if you are thinking about making an HTL model for the upgrade project, there's a lot of other ships that require the service... mostly shivan and vasudan tipe.

The old Orion HTL (Bobbaou's) looked good, but wasn't true enough to the original IMO. That's why I welcome this new effort.

Commander Zane · **Reply #105 on:** February 21, 2009, 06:30:07 pm

Yeah, I think this ship is far from no-go, I'd love to see this finished.

Droid803 · **Reply #106 on:** February 21, 2009, 08:09:09 pm

Since its this far along, might as well finish it.
I would be more of a waste not to.

Galemp · **Reply #107 on:** February 21, 2009, 10:16:46 pm

What do you mean, 'no-go'? It's great. It just needs the right turrets in the right places if it's going into the Media VPs, that's all.

SPECTRE87 · **Reply #108 on:** February 22, 2009, 03:47:19 am

Nerfed the ship. The up-side here is that I've freed up a lot of polygons.

Dilmah G · **Reply #109 on:** February 22, 2009, 03:57:44 am

Still 'lookin good

Commander Zane · **Reply #110 on:** February 22, 2009, 06:51:22 am

Beautiful.

kalnaren · **Reply #111 on:** February 22, 2009, 11:43:01 am

That is a seriously awesome looking Orion. I'd use it in my mods. Particularily in the one I'm working on now there is actually a varient of the Orion that this would fill beautifully.

SPECTRE87 · **Reply #112 on:** February 23, 2009, 02:35:27 am

Thanks, but heads up for all;

I am not really satisfied with the current model and design I will be doing some major redesigning of the ship as the basic models was made years ago, back when my modelling skills were less capable. I will try to use the polygons more effectively, and thus save more than I can with the current model. I have already made the front "bridge" section and will continue work on it throughout this week. Expect an update due Friday, or sooner...

Cheers.

Hellstryker · **Reply #113 on:** February 23, 2009, 02:56:46 am

WAIT. Post the model as it is right now. Then do your revision.

Zacam · **Reply #114 on:** February 23, 2009, 03:05:37 am

At the end of any day, the ONE and the ONLY thing I care about in regards to ANY Orion is:

The Nameplate.

So long as it can be a standard typical issue nameplate file like any other ship and displays in the spot it is supposed to (and doesn't leave a huge gaping hole in the ship when it is missing), I don't care who made it. Or what they made it out of. Or in.

SPECTRE87 · **Reply #115 on:** February 23, 2009, 03:56:30 am

The current model can be found in the SketchUp 3D Warehouse. A bit older though...

That's unfortunate, I think the latest screens you posted look perfect.
But if you can pull it off and make it look even better than everyone says it is, I'll be amazed.

Good luck then.

I wouldn't say that. I think there is definitely room for this model...the HT&L Orion I believe was one of the first ships that was converted to a higher detail standard. I doubt anyone would complain if further refinement were possible. I certainly hope nobody would be offended.

Actually what I wouldn't mind seeing is a slightly different version for FreeSpace 2 that incorporated the same weapon setup but with FS2 beam emitters instead of the old style turrets used in FS1. Just a thought off the top of my head.

I highly support this

Since FSPort has its own MediaVps now, keeping FS1 compatibility for how the turrets look isn't necessary.

besides they don't even use the HTL model since those do not have the nameplates added IIRC.
