Hmm... better turret placement? IIRC the Talahassee can hammer out every gun in the arsenal at a broadside turret, while the Kilrathi cruisers have a much more occluded arsenal from most angles. Vic vs. Carrier... maybe there was a capship missile involved, or one of your wingmen? I don't...

Despotic is rather the nature of something that's controlled by the people who sweated to build it - they made it and they're usually (rightly) reluctant to give it away. When the owners start repressing free speech that can be a bad thing, but that's not an issue here in my mind. You came in...

the Ships Database doesn't list AB speed... do we have any idea what it MIGHT be?

I wonder how the Neph ships reacted to the AMGs...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/errant_variable/KittyLight.jpg I'm at a loss... this was originally intended to be an earlier Kilrathi fighter (shieldless and fast) but it came out looking Firekkan. I added some jaggies and "fangs" to enhance the predatory look... let me know what you...

actually if my memory of watching the VHS release in preschool is accurate, it's angry. :) (red eyes mean angry mutant space slugs)

Didn't we see a lot of that in WC1, escorting transports and the like? patience... besides, wouldnt the pre-war fleet be equivalent to what we had after WW1, WW1 being versus the (Yan? - whoever those first aliens we warred with were). Pre-Yan would be the Great White Fleet... I'm going to...

There's also the tech base to consider... you'd have to train a LOT of techs to work with Kilrathi equipment, using Kilrathi-sized (and Kilrathi-torqued, ouch) tools, flying in uncomfortably large chairs with no ejection mechanism in a generally inferior fighter (yeah, that'd be REAL popular)...

texing unknown... im not that experienced with modeling and have never textured something before. Might give it a try soon, there's a few meshes I've got laying around that need prettifying.

Actually I didnt really think about the X-15 (and don't see any resemblance other than the side pods, sorry). It's much more a tribute to the Mig-25/31, both of which were fast-reaction interceptors, have reminiscent shapes to above model, and carried as the primary longrange armament four...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/errant_variable/KatCorvFinal.jpg This is roughly how I plan to leave it. 969 tripolies w/o turrets. Currently in basic Blender format but I do believe it's possible to export to 3DS Max. The two turret mounts on the right wing are for smaller...

Reasons for artistic choices: 1) I like the assymetric vertex look 2) For the most part, im building this vertex-by-vertex (so I'm a control freak. :P) 3) I built some Kitty ships curved, and they didnt look quite right... however subdivide/smooth is your friend (great effect on simple...

Since y'all are impatient for eyecandy (maybe better compared to crackers in this case...), pictures first off. Sorry for the raw post, but I dont have time to polish and look up proper URL tags. First incarnation http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/errant_variable/kittyrailgun022205.jpg...

are those 3-axis or 2-axis sticks?

heh heh yeah, that's the way to look at it.

Truth, the ability to customize your gear was great, and as for personality you have it dead on. I think my gripe with those weapons in general was travel time - it seemed exceedingly difficult to connect even compared to the first two Wing Commanders, resulting in a frustration level matched...

I think the pre-WC1 timeline has as much potential for good storytelling as the post-WCP does. Sure, you don't have OMFGCLOAK or the ability to say things like "and then the Sino-Eurasian Bloc ruled the world oppressedly ever after, at least until a group of rampaging kilrathi decided they were...

weapons in general seemed to be nowhere near as good in Privateer...
