Vote to keep the two pilots and make the canopy make sense.
Apart from that, looks great!

Also, please don't pitch the seated cockpit model forward that much. It makes the pilot's position look more than a bit awkward...

I think it was more of a concept then anything else to prove that 2 pilots can indeed fit.  I doubt he is going to use the base cockpit  model because it simply wont work very well.

Nah. If it's alright with the guy who made the HLP Ulysses, I'm gonna copy that cockpit seat and pilot, and adapt it to the Artemis. Then, I can use the other cockpit for the navigator.

Haven't been doing much modelling, Valve finally got back to me about my account. All sorted now.

that model looks nice... I've always hated the artemis because it sucks so bad... but with this... I might get to use it some times.

hey could you add some kind of detail on the upper part of the body also? seems kinda empty there.

It might be beneficial for visibility reasons you know. There are some bombers with glass noses even on our history; the drooping nose doesn't make much sense but hey, we're talking about FreeSpace, things that "make sense" are a minority report here.
And those bombers had piss-poor targeting systems. :P

The artemis looks like it's coming along well. In the fs1 intro video the apollo bomber variant had a crew of two. A crew of two in other bombers can make sense in this light.

As for the bulb canopy not making sense. Several ww2 bombers have canopies similar to this. Idk y, maybe the extra visibility was a necessity for bombing runs.
Every pilot's goal is to rise up in the ranks and go beyond their purpose to a place of command on a very big ship. Like the colossus; to baseball bat everyone.

It refers to "Hardware Texture and Lighting," the technology that makes high-poly models possible.  While a technically inaccurate term, it has become standardly used to reference high-poly models.

P.S. — Why is it my comments in these threads always get buried before they can be read? :(

I have also seen it in 2D space shooters like R-Type and maybe others.

It's there in bombers mainly used in a low altitude bombing role. But then again a good visibility of the battlefield is good in an FS2 environment

Actually its "Hardware Transform&Lighting", meaning the act of transforming spatial coordinates of 3d objects to the 2d view you see on your screen, and of course lighting.

Low altitude bombing role. Sort of like getting in close to capital ships.

Art? No, no, there's no art here. This is a game. (I hope Taylor will read this  :pimp:)

The large canopy is a) canon and b) looks cool.  Therefore it should be used.  Also, we have no reason to believe that the visible spectrum of light is Shivans' primary way of sensing things, or that they can even see that spectrum at all...

Also there's no such thing as jokes on HLP.
HLP is very serious.
And definitely our fighters are what the future fighters supose to be (unmaned first of all).
Now than i'm thinking of it, FS2 is not even a game. (Somebody must inform Taylor about this).
