When can I have one! Could you do me a faver and make my SF Scythe for me? You can use it in your campian.

Sorry, the SSD Diablo won't be released until the prologue missions are finished, except possibly for other campaign makers who may request to use it. Also, Raven and I are currently working on balancing the weapon defaults.

 I'm afraid I can't do any specific request work at the moment, I have a lot of other mods to do at the moment for the main campaign concerned with revamping the GTVA ships.

Well would you like to see my ship it is Shivan.

I think if you made those triangular ridges more... well... spiky, it'd look better...    A+ work tho  

[Raven2001]

It is a job well done man! Oops, I already told you that didn't I??  

[morris13]

It looks a little too geometrically precise to be a shivan ship. Not organic enough. You might try going through and moving points around to remove all the straight lines separating sections so that its a little more flowing? That's usually the part that takes the most time on my models. Once i've got the basic geometry laid out I'll go back through and keep moving points to make the lines smoother and less linear. It makes them look a lot smoother and more realistic, especially for shivan and vasudan ships.

[Raven2001]

See what I said to you in the last E-mail... I'll get that sketch done ASAP!!

I told aldo, that it is too symmetrical to be of shivan origin, and that I was going to send him a sketch with some changes... you just can begin wandering about it!!!!

 

[Raven2001]

By the way, check out the Ghost and the Darkness site for mory info on the campaign, say what you think of the current info, and ask questions in the forums!!!

Hey HLP, don't you want to host us????

We have altered our hosting procedures a bit recently. Concern was exhibited by the staff that we were taking on too much at once, without really getting a feel for where they stood. Let me explain the new policy to you. Begin work on the campaign. Submit a request for hosting to HLP. We will take your request and place it on file to keep our eye on as work progresses. After an unspecified amount of time, if your work is continuing strong, and has not become stagnant, then you will be contacted to move your stuff to HLP.

Basically, we decided that we would rather be known for good, quality hosted material, that has not just sat for months on end, versus hosting EVERYONE that has a good idea, and then just takes up server space? Catch my drift?

These detonators were a piece of junk! I even followed the directions... - Lt. Commander Snipes - Special Operations Command

I realise I'm gonna get hounded for saying this but, that ship bytes. The only good bit is the rear and you've ****** that up with poor textures.

Oh wait, that's aldo aint it? In that case it down right sucks. <smug>  </smug>

[Fattony]

I'm just joking.

Cut it off at the middle, reduce the tiling multiple on the rear section and it might be good.

[Bobboau]

the only thing I think needs fixing is better turret models,

Bobboau, bringing you products that work.............. in theory

Wow! yet another person who read half what I post and judges me.

I have been up for 20 hours and can't be bothered arguing.

[Raven2001]

C'mon guys! Keep sending your idea of improvements for the Diablo! We want to make it the best Shivan vessel ever!

I had loverly detailed turrets, but the poly count almost doubled.
This way I can add a barrelload, and still not worry too much  

Level of spikyness is a bit of a problem, as i had a lot of flipped normals when I downsized - especially at the front - bacause they were intersecting or something.

Yes, but still, we can try to make it less symmetric... I'll send you a sketch of it soon, ok??

[Setekh]

Whoa. Nice ship...  

[aldo_14]

I really[/i] don't want to have to alter this - it took me a week alone to make the shield dxf  

Still, if the occassion calls for it.....
