Everyone involved should get Conspicuous Medal of Awesomeness.

 
I don't like the green color on the hull, it seems like we are adding color for the sake of just adding color. I would prefer the hull to be the same color as the missle pods, makes the hull consistent,  but this is such a nice upgrade from the original I'll fly whatever you guys decide  :)

 
Very rarely is any color added for any other reason than for the sake of color.

Ever wonder why modern jets and ships are almost entirely gun-metal grey? Because they didn't add color for the sake of color.

Not entirely sure where to go from here, I guess you guys want to see more WEAR AND TEAR though..

I dunno, I'd be perfectly okay with it as it is, but there are probably more pricks here than there are accepting people.

Otherwise, I jizzed.  In.  My pants.

Nice, anyone who doesn't passively accept is a prick. I like it.

I think you should definitely go more balls-out with the weathering and scoring. The blast scoring around the missile tubes was awesome on the original.

The distressed touches are pretty sweet though. WEAR AND TEAR

Could use some glowy bits like the original had and a bit more detail but other than that? It's good so far.
[22:29] <sigtau> Hello, #hard-light?  I'm trying to tell a girl she looks really good for someone who doesn't exercise.  How do I word that non-offensively?

Not exactly what I meant, I was more or less referring to the mass amounts of rage that occurred recently (though that's probably unrelated), though sorry for implying that.

Anyways, at this point it could go in as it is, or you could make it appear more 'used' as Battuta suggested with the scorched spots.

it's perfect. This belongs to the FS Open.

It's good, but right now, it looks factory-new.
Some wear and tear would be nice, marks from missile exhaust, a few scratches here and there...
Medusa could stand to be a bit dirty.  :)
Oh, and don't forget lights.

 
Listen, I have served in an air base, as an AA gunner back when I was in the Greek Air Force.
The techs would never allow an air craft to have a less than perfect paintjob. That's just the way things were done.
I know this is sci fi and a pc game none the less, still, I don't think that the crews tasked with the maintenance and upkeep of those fighters would allow them to deteriorate so much so that wear and tear would have been apparent. Battle damage would have been patched up in the best possible manner.

I say make it a bit more like in the original, put some black/dark gray burn marks around the missiles, and make the exposed engine parts much darker.
don't add stupid lights, we don't want a xmas tree, we want a military fighter, add some small wear and tear, maybe some chipped paint, but don't overdo it.

Nighteyes is onto it. Also, the decals on the original would be nice.

But all that notwithstanding, this really is a top notc job Sabo0.

That scorch stuff Nighteyes did is great.

 
Looking good, it is hard to see the weathering on a grey ship.

 
Personally I like the clean version so far.

Scorching is great, and as has been noted, the aircraft warning labels that were on the original are missing.

Yeah, there's a sense of irony when the military worries more about how clean something looks over how practical it is.
Speaking from experience myself as well.

Though that comment isn't implying a complaint about the modified texture, the scorching looks damn good. But, considering the secondaries would be swapped off, replaced, etc, it might be a good idea to reduce some of the scorching on the missiles.

I also just got a stupid idea for a Starbuck shoutout featuring the Pristine Medusa. :nervous:
