It looks VERY FS1 Shivan. If you don't believe me look at the textures for the FS1 Shivan fighters and bombers.

How's texturing going?

I've just get back from week holidays, for now it its as it was at last post.

[shiv]

Dobra robota, c914

[ragingloli]

is that czech for "good work"?

[Aardwolf]

Heheheh... Robota

Wait, I thought they were both Polish?

[shiv]

We're both polish, it means good job/work.

And polish and czech languages are very similas so we can understand czech without learning it

[c914]

True but sometimes words had waaayyy different meaning.

[Narvi]

What does "robota" mean?

Domo arigato, mister roboto?

[Kszyhu]

'Robota' translates as 'work'/'job'.

[Sushi]

Which, non-coincidentally, is where the word "Robot" does indeed come from.

As has been said, it's a slippery slope. And it's definitely going to change the way the model behaves, which could break backwards compatibility with very tightly designed missions.

Meh...I play stock and other user-made campaigns with my Orion and Typhon, that have +10 turrets, and haven't really noticed any change in difficulty or breaking of missions.
You'd have to severely change the positioning and loadout for it to have any larger impact. (like adding 4 aaaf's)

I'm talking about a very tightly designed mission. Say, one in which every individual turret on the Cain was locked (for some absurd reason, I don't know why, it's a thought experiment) rather than using turret-lock-all. You'd now have a loose turret floating about, correct?

Actually no, there wouldn't be a loose turret they would still have the same names and the same number of turrets, so it wouldn't have any effect they would all still be locked, the turret would just be in a different place.

At least thats how I understand it.

Well, it's been pointed out (quite rightly) that if the up-turreted Cain were still using retail tables the new turrets would never fire or anything.

[BS403]

oh sorry I didn't realize it was up-turreted, I thought it was just re-arranged my mistake. and I posted that reply before I finished reading all the posts.

[Commander Zane]

I don't think it's going to be now, but otherwise it was just going to have one extra turret to even out the number of turrets on each arm.

[Aardwolf]

* Aardwolf already knew about the etymology of the word Robot

[BS403]

Anyways very nice work.  I really like the details on the arms.

If the Cain is this sexy, imagine the Lilith, guys. 

[Thaeris]

 

Now, I agree the high-poly models are great... but imaginig a Lilith (in general) should never make one happy...

...It's like someone showing you a high-resolution image of the AIDS virus via an electron microscope:

The nasty problem-thing is still there, but now it's in *HD before it tears your insides out... though that's more of an Ebola thing...

I personally can think of few greater joys than (a.) having to wait to fire no less than three Trebs or (b.) an unreasonalbe amount of any other ordnance selection at the main beam cannon... while the unrealistically supercharged rear beam decides to eat you... in *HD...

That said, I await your accursed succubis to appear in *HD.

For the Lilith, try to use the same curve style that you have for the Cain, while not having any girders. The Lilith needs to look strong, and powerful. Not weak, and exposed. The Lilith might actually be a better ship to try using retail texture detail than, say, the Cain.
