Holy ****, the ravenna is gorgeous!

[fightermedic]

this looks pretty awesome!

[Enioch]

Some more Ravenna pics and a crappy video, to show off the broadside turret animations, the docking animations and the awesomeness / overkill that is a Renegade Legion broadside. 


Establishing sensor link to drone: Avis_System_DForce/TDD_Sapphire/Drones/#RD00124



WEAPONS CONTROL: Sensor feed to target acquired. Computing targeting solution.



WEAPONS CONTROL: Power feed to starboard bays is Active. Repeat: Active.



WEAPONS CONTROL: Weapons powering up. Negligible fluctuations. All crystal emplacements report nominal temperature levels. Prepare to fire.



WEAPONS CONTROL: I love the smell of fried Kess'Rith in the morning...



Here's the crappy video, for those who do not mind low framerates, nauseating motion and abysmal editing:

A Lusoria fighter-carrier corvette, docking with the Ravenna. The bay doors are, of course, animated.



And a view of the Ravenna's starboard fighterbay. No landing subsystem, sorry. Too much of a hassle for a one-man team.




Still looking for contributors, etc etc.

Your mod is cool and I think it will be much more!

[Unknown Target]

Wow, that's some gorgeous texturing!

[Enioch]

Thanks guys.

You wanna hear a secret? the Ravenna doesn't have any shinemaps yet. Oooopsie.

What it does have, is 2 basic 2048^2 textures, a third 1024^2 texture for the turrets and a fourth 2048^2 texture for the debris (which I would like to show off, but will not, because I'm mean like that and I don't want to blow up a Ravenna. Suffice it to say that there are girders and pipes and inner decks visible when the Ravenna breaks apart.

[whitearrow]

Beautiful ship! looking forward to see it in action!

[Mobius]

Ravenna? 

[Enioch]

Ravenna? 

Yes, exactly that Ravenna (capital of the western Roman Empire after the fall of Rome). The Terrans name everything after Roman stuff in the Renegade Legion universe. That is why the eponymous Legion is called a Legion after all.

Many thanks, dear sir.

All your models are top notch. I'm specially looking forward for the Syracuse.

LOL Yaaaa someone else has decided to use bathroom tiles for hull textures   

[Enioch]

Lol. Well, if you think about it, tiled armor makes sense. You only replace the damaged tiles, instead of a OMFGWTFHUGE cast hull part.

*snort* *snicker*

Lol ya that was part of my reasoning too.. plus it makes the hull look a lot busier without having to add a ton of extra detail.

I love what you are doing with the kessrith ships: it seems to seamlessly fit with the views I had after viewing RL fiction. a great feat considering the very small amount of official kessrith material (the fluttering petal).

[Enioch]

Dooo be dooo... bored as hell... doo be dooo.... to bored to set up a p3d account... troll lol lol... tiles tiles tiles... repeat lather rinse...

Have some more WIPs of the Drashok, so I can be in this month's newsletter as well... Slowly but surely, I will take over these forumz







Love the new <img> tags, btw.

Seriously, now, a progress report: this thing is pretty complicated and its a good warmup for the Syracuse (which makes my mind ache by just thinking about it). Thank god the UVs were pretty simple actually (just boring) and the texture work is going smoothly. I have started work on the hi-poly Ultor, and will post some images SOON^TM and am in the process of wrapping up the modeling phase of a Terran heavy fighter. I have also repurposed some pre-existing assets for implementation as tenders, freighters, and so forth. Work has also been done on the Fasces installation, but it's too early to show anything.

Expect some more news soon.

Still desperately in need of contributors. Why am I still a lone eagle? 

[Phantom Hoover]

You know, the fins on that thing and the general shape remind me of the Aeon T2 sub hunter in Supcom.

[Enioch]

Heh, yeah I can see why. I'd never seen the Aeon before - never played Supcom before, actually. Independent concept convergence, I guess.
