Great! 

[Dragon]

Awesome.

[Hades]

Looks good but ideally a clean version would be made and finished first, it's easier to add 'dirt' but it's harder to remove it.

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.

Having spent a good while on at least one RAF airbase, I can say that this is certainly the case from my experience, as well. (RAF Kinloss, it's dual-roled as a civilian light aircraft field, and it's where my father was getting his PPL. Often went with him.)

Nonetheless the original texture provides clear evidence of wear. We can argue until our faces are blue about the value of sticking to the original models and textures, but the texture implies a story - one of a military and a species pushed to the edge - and I don't think it's wise to alter that story.

[Kolgena]

I also tend to think that the GTVA would stop giving a **** about maintaining bombers that well considering that their battle mortality is through the roof.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Great job on the texture so far, and +1 for wear and tear. While current-day air forces may have their fighters all clean and freshly painted, comfy on an airbase back home, a true frontline base of operations - like most destroyers we see in FS - should have other priorities. That's 's idea about it, anyway, so let's adhere to that.

Besides, some weathering adds greatly to the perceived realism of a ship like this.

[Sab0o]

Still a bit of work left in this. Annoying little things, so I probably wont post any more pics for a few days.

[Dragon]

Can't wait to see it in flight.

[MatthTheGeek]

This is on the right track. Glows go a long way to make it feel much more like the Medusa we all know.

[General Battuta]

You are the coolest mother****er

[StarSlayer]

You most make Dusa bombing run on HTL Typhon trailer!

[Snail]

<<Insert Redundant Declaration of Your Excellence's Extreme Awesomeness Here>>

say, you know that weird bulb thingie underneath the two guns, that was originally a flashlight or pair of headlights or something any chance of that happening

[Woolie Wool]

My nipples explode with delight!

[Kolgena]

I'll be flying this in Slaying Ravana...

Then regretting it since it has pretty terrible survivability.

[ssmit132]

Well, so does the Boanerges, too.

But SabOo, great work. The new MediaVPs are going to be beyond awesome.

Pretty much any bomber has terrible survivability with no fighter escort, because, y'know, they're not supposed to be good at killing fighters.

[Kolgena]

The ursa's decent with double banks of subachs, a bank of tempests and that kayser turret. (But only against AI, and even then it starts sucking hard at insane difficulty)

[Droid803]

There's no way this is worse than the Boa.
At least it has a turret.

I actually managed to dogfight fairly effectively with it in FSport.

[Hades]

The turret has a Prom R in FreeSpace 2, though
