Wow. Lovely. Can't wait for release.
And I see the Archer is a Mass Driver now.

[Commander Zane]

Mother of God.

[Pahkwa-thanh]

looking really awesome :-)

[Rodo]

Awesome, now it only needs pilots and that's it!

I don't see a... *goes into previous thread* oh, okay.

I don't know why~ brain is refusing to register the differences going from old to new model, even though the new gun is so obvious... maybe it'll look better once out of ts and in-game. Whatever. Still a great looking ship with weapon slots aplenty for show, even without the lighting play. +1 for seated pilots please! XD

One thing I'm curious about, was the gun changed because of BP, or was it personal choice, or is it because fighter beams still... don't feel right? (Haven't touched FSO in a while, if the repeating-trigger-on-hold-down and ??? energy consumption was already resolved, then I'm not aware of it...)

[General Battuta]

Fighter beams work fine

I've completely rebuilt the archer cannon. i liked the rail gun idea employed in BP so i purpose built this little kinetic bastard. its way more robust looking than the old solar panel version. on top of that the cover panels fold up in a way that makes way more sense. I've even cooked up a new table version with effects and sound. I'll pass that along in the final product.

[asyikarea51]

Whoops. I guess I got distracted by the pictures. Oh well that answers that.

[Kolgena]

That telescopic ventral gun looks amazing.

[mr.WHO]

Could we have more screenshots from diffrend angles? Like top and top-side (high angle)?

Edit: Also does your other fightes/bombers from that pack will get ugrade? Like Lancer (BP2 Uhlan) and those two bombers (the fat one and the flat one)?

[bigchunk1]

So marevlously detailed. Excellent work. One of my favorite ship designs.

You planning to put people in those cockpits?

[--Steve-O--]

updates!
ignore the turret...its just a place holder for now.

[Dragon]

Very good. I guess it'll be as optimized as the Reaver?

[Black_Yoshi1230]

That looks pretty cool.

Also, I was wondering about the ejection sequence from that ship, and would it be something like this? Would they need a retrieval crew soon after (such as a Support Ship or nearby frigate being able to tow it out?)
