Where do you get these numbers from? - To my knowledge the Clawmarks mentiones 8 dual mount laser turrets but the image in the Clawmarks shows a quite different number (20 dual turrets) - In the movie the Claw has 22 point defense and 8 turreted lasers. I remeber that Loaf had counted the...

Yes the Raven. The shot I saw first gave me another impression of the wings. The new front view you posted us much better. Your solution to gun convergence is most likely the best.

The last image folled me in beliving that the ship has only five wings and I thought...how the hell does this one land? Now witht the front view its much clearer.

For the intakes I will go with blue ones. Except I find a complete other shape to make them not that obviouse. Maybe just a grid like we see it on the Tallahassee. A base for the turrets might be a nice detail that I could add. I have thought of the current turrets as placeholders. They have...

@Scooby Your latest fighter at HLP has one slight problem...how does it land with the one wing on the underside or is the prespective just wrong? PS: Can't post at HLP...my password is wrong and I don't get any email about a reset.

@Silent Indeed. I have reseived an interesting calculator from Knight26 from Scifi-Meshes where he lists all the different jobs people need to do on a ship. Using his calculator table I got a crew of ~1700 people. Far less then the number I had. I guess I will think about these numbers again...

That looks very cool. Do you use some kind of postpro effect or is it the lightning that gives these gloomy mood to the scene?

I also never looked at the distance meter but you develop a feeling what guns you should use at what distance. Also IIRC in FS all the guns have a convergance point by default. Since today fighters also have a small aiming assistance it wouldn't be to far fetched to give a similar system to WC...

About convergence, I think you can use this, even if the player isn't trained when you find the right distance. Like if the gameplay is so that most of the fighters are eye to eye you have to move the point very close to your own fighter. When most of the fights are at longer range you go for...

When you out of creative juice do something fun...so I did.

For the Gladius I think the best solution would to put the wingguns at an angle that they would shot in front of the ship instead of straight ahad. Since the guns are pretty small it wouldn't be so much noticed I think. With the Raptor...well that kind of doing it would be pretty obvious I...

Wow we have the guns inside the cockpit? ^_^ Strangely most of the WC designs have guns that are pretty far on the outside if the wings. Hornet, Raptor, Gladius... Sure it looks pretty cool but its not working very well. Question would be, if you redo them, would it work to just let them point...

Only little thing I have is that I can't get used to the nose. Can't quite put my finger on it but something is bothering me. For everything else it now realy looks like a heavy fighter/bomber. Will the mod include the two seater version with the longer cockpit?

If my mathematic skills aren't all wrong that would mean ~25% reduction of the crew in about 40 years that are between the first Nimitz class vessels and the point where the first new one will be build. Second thing I notice about these numbers is that for "just" 85 Aircrafts there is a crew...

Interesting, is there any reason behind the number or just that it sounds good, something it does ^_^ Personaly I am also tending to the higher number for the crew. If I will go that high is the question. From Container ships I have been on I know that these need only a very small crew. From...

Thanks Silent Hunter. As for the fighters, I think I will go with the source material as to how they are placed. Finding the line between RL and source is kinda difficulte. Where do you start to ignore the given values/numbers/images and where do you keep them? For example I am still a bit torn...

I had only a very short experiance of eve...just 2-3 month...but from that I know one thing. If you ever see ships warping in this kinda way get the fuck out of system ASAP ! Luckly something, much much smaller but similar happend to me only once. There where a bunch of bandit jumping into the...

Thanks. It would be realy interesting to hear what ideas where behind the original ships...except for "good looking" ^_^

or the movie ^_^

Yes the wingtip guns are also a point that I find quite problematic with the Raptor. If I ever go back to the model I will most likely move their position too. I think Klavs also did that.
