It may be a bit too long to fit the "compact" look that it should have.  But thats easy enough to fix.

Don't want to make it look like a demented little ball fo rage, though. :wtf: :p

I like it a lot, though if it is that thin it should, IMO, be a little shorter too.

This is coming together pretty well, considering it's just an early idea. BTW, you may all want to know that today I wrote up a provisional mission outline. It's currently 27 missions long. All of them (IMO again) solid, dramatic and tense. :D
I'm OK. How are you?

Yup...will do :)

Soon as Kellan finishes exams...we'll really go into overdrive.  I figure the two of us can finish missions in very short order and get the dialogue in.

Problem right now is that were still waiting for some stuff from Shrike. :D

Ok...formally calling this Paradigm Shift.  Kellan and I agreed on the title a few weeks back and I think we'll stay with it.  At least for now.  It could be changed later...but Paradigm Shift will at least be the project name for now (simplicities sake - let me know if you REALLY don't like it).

Something I could really use all your help on right now is looking or asking about someone who could help us with some music.  I'd really be preferable to get someone to do the music for this project (note: not rock with guitar, looking for more thematic).  It doesn't have to be massive volumes of it either...but a few mission tracks, some brief and debrief stuff....a theme.  Thats about all thats required.

Do you have a fair idea of who's going to be on the staff?

Yeah, me and IceFire. :D

Seriously, all will be decided (mission-wise) after my exams are done, really I guess. Modding and source-coding are the main jobs now, and all I can do on that is say yay or nay. :)
I'm OK. How are you?

I'm building a list of the people who have voiced/shown their interest here as well as a few givens and a few others who have said they may try and do something.

Alikchi, I've got you on the tentative list as a mission designer :)

I've played yours too Black Wolf. 'Tis not bad...pretty nicely balanced. :)

Do you have anything else I could dissect? :D

Not for FS2, I have about 15 half finished ones sitting around here which I can't complete as my FS2 is buggered at the moment - Give me a few days to get it fixed, then I'll see what I like the best. Failing that, I may have a few FS 1 missions floating around...

Aldo has whipped up a model making frenzy and so I thought it only right to show off the preliminary work.  No textures, no LOD's, nothing fancy, just some names and a mesh :D

I think the Nephele looks great....you'll like it better with textures for sure.

I feel it combines a bit of the YF-23 (the losing ATF prototype), a bit of the Pegasus and a bit of the Perseus into one package.

I love all of them! A couple of things though...

Can't really pass judgement on the Nephele till I see the underside since that's kinda crucial when viewing a stealth ship.

The GTB Atlas' neck seems...wonky...Maybe it's just me...

The Nephele... well, I for some reason think whitestar. And there's about 4-5 Atlas named ships around. Could get confusing.

I say ooh. And aahhh.... :)

The Atlas looks sweet - I love the way those 'pods' on the nosecone aren't identical all the way round. Looks slightly Shivan-influenced, too.

The Demeter reminds me of the Covenant or a Zentraedi ship. Again, a nice mixture of Terran and more organic sections.
I'm OK. How are you?
