Or maayyyybeee, you were a Vasudan all along...

[Kolgena]

Lies. Ever alt-J too quickly too quickly after a vasudan mission?

You get yelled at, and the zod also bashes your entire race while he's at it.

[Titan]

Put it this way: IT DOESN'T MATTER. 

Unless you spend all your free time staring at your ship from the front external, it really doesn't matter.

[Rodo]

Well it does mater to me...

Also IIRC you can pic your race from the barracks (pilot picture).

Interesting, I've never done that... will try it out to see the dialogue lines ^^

[Cyrip]

Just thought there was an older model already available, since all other ships have non-transparent front windows.

And Titan: Youre basically right, but to be honest, all the eye candy that has been added over the years doesnt really matter at all too, its still shooting things, just like back in 99. So everything that has been done is because a few people...well almost everyone ^^... enjoy a lil bit more detail. Dont tell me you really notice the highres textures during a dogfight, whilst trying to get rid of 2 opponents at the same time as well. (If you do...Wow )

[Commander Zane]

What's so hard about looking into the details of a ship while being attacked at the same time?

[Thaeris]

I definately notice detail when fighting up-close. The easiest subject to note this on is probably the Loki... Compare that to Retail in the same scenario - there's definately a difference!

[Commander Zane]

And the Ulysses.

My personal take on the updates is that the newer ships should definitely be discernable from the old ones. All due respect to the Thoth here. . . But it's a bit too similar to the original.

[Commander Zane]

I think it's a bit bigger in depth.

Word-for-word, I don't think this statement is entirely accurate, Dekker.

I feel the purpose of the Media VPs is to capture the spirit of the subject vessel whilst improving upon the detail. I think Peter's Vasudan ships do exactly that. The binding issue with this one is that the textures are old. If this ship were normal-mapped, you'd definately see the new details...

[Commander Zane]

It is normal mapped.

[Vasudan Admiral]

The Thoth is a small, dark, fast and relatively simplisticly shaped ship, so no matter how well detailed it is, it's always going to be a lot harder to see and appreciate the detail on than larger brighter slower ships.

I think peterv has made it as detailed as is practical and he's done a fantastic job of it.
