Can't emphasize this enough, especially if there's no word in the news: The models are made by ScoobyDoo, the original textures too. I'm merely slapping some new colors on them.

A bit too early to really judge the game, but any attempt at a new Space-Sim is welcome. And with Klavs in the art department i'm sure it won't look too shabby when it comes out.

They keep making these things smaller and smaller. I WANT ONE IN 1:1! Looks like the Saga version if you ask me.

Hmmm maybe i'm overrating an issue that isn't even that big at all. In my mind i have that image of always missing a smaller target if my shots converge in front of or behind it. I mean they don't just merge there and fly in a straight line as one from thereon like the Deathstar beams, they'd...

That's why i asked if it was possible to leave the other guns straight-shooting. If only the relatively weak lasers aim for themselves, the player would still be forced to aim his heavy-hitters at the enemy manually. It would only be a noticable advantage if the enemy is out of reach of the...

Oh that's the kind of out-of-juicity i'd welcome any time. Nice one.

The main problem remains: If the two guns shoot straight, you can't hit a target thats smaller than the distance between them (At least one shot will always miss), like, say, a Gladius shooting at a Salthi. If the shots converge on a point in front of your ship, you will hit a target as long as...

Well the Raptor's main trademark are its "shields", so changing the gun placement doesn't take away too much from its design. The Gladius on the other hand does look very different without its wing mounts. I think the most elegant solution *with* the wingguns would be to give them an autoaim...

Beautiful. Your latest design changes are all very drastic, yet you always manage to catch what is iconic about a ship.

Now THIS is what i have in mind when i read the term "Heavy Fighter". Beautiful.

Thanks, always nice to see closeups of the props. Especially if it's Maverick's suit.

I think the lightmaps are missing, or has everyone on this side of the station gone to bed and switched off their lights?

Wait, the model had wingtip guns? Heh, and to think i mesh-modded it so it looked closer to the original (Just internally though, not playable). I understand the need for change though, in-game they'd always make problems with their point of convergence (I think we already had that), and...

Whoa there Howard, i'm currently saving my money on Klav's models, you can't just jump in and ruin my finance plan COMPLETELY!

With this video, the write-ups and your models, i'd totally buy a video game from you.

Love it. Nice to see you're streamlining the shape a little, sometimes i think the WC1 ships were designed with as many edges and angles as possible so the individual bitmaps stand out more. Can't wait to see it finished!

I think the second one looks a little better, the one on top reminds my of a Tapir with the long snout. Though i could imagine a two-seated bomber variant as well, like a reconfiguration of the heavy fighter variant for smaller carrier ships. I think we can safely say you single-handedly set...

The nose section looks a little strange. Have you considered moving the cockpit forward a bit?

You, sir, are a machine. A model-belching machine of awesomeness.

Don't get this the wrong way, but i'd really like to destroy these vessels. As in, make some attack runs with some of your other ships. Man i'm sure they'd blow up nicely.
