Looks like a solid application. Keep up the good work.

It's definitely looking good. The Dralthi clip really shows how much you've sped up the pace from the original game.

What always struck me about the Longbow cockpit was the use of a yoke instead of a stick. It helps to reinforce the fact that it's a bomber, not a figher.

Thanks for the update Howard. Looks great. The Hornet is especially nice. Very simple and purposeful color scheme, as you would expect from a Landriech ship.

Thanks for the heads up buddy.

The Naginata was used in Starlancer actually.

As best I can tell, the movie Broadsword was based on a Canberra cockpit, seen here: http://www.richard-seaman.com/Aircraft/Museums/Duxford/BritishJets/Canberra.jpg Similarly, the Rapiers were made from Lightnings.

Actually, one reason there are less viruses for Macs because the user base is so small compared to Windows. If you are going to take the time and effort to write a virus, would you rather target 90% (random number) of the population or 10%?

Fantastic. This is what I had assumed/hoped for.

Cockpit visibility was a major concern in WWII fighter design. The P-47's cockpit design underwent nearly the same evolution as the P-51. Cockpit design and visibility was also one factor that transformed the Typhoon's intended purpose from air combat to ground attack. You can also see a...

You could also do little metal dice, a la the Millenium Falcon. I might also suggest a Vargas style pinup, or something of the sort.

Another excellent point that I forgot about in my previous post. Do you think the Landriech militia will let you have a Jalthi if they could use it themselves?

Do keep in mind that during WWII, plenty of enemy planes were captured by both sides. Just today I saw a photo of a B-17 with Japanese markings. Mustangs with German markings are pretty strange too. That said, as a private citizen, there's no way Confed is going to give/sell you a...

I think the new versions are definitely improved. Especially the third one, which is fantastic. The Dralthi formation is more believable to me now. As for new ones, it might be cool to see one inspired by Taggart's Tactics, like the second one on this page: http://claw.solsector.net/6.html

Like I said before, I think this project has an incredible level of quality, as I'm sure most others do as well. I think people would like to see the whole project have a uniformly high quality. This means more people are apt to comment on more things than in most other projects...

Well, the Privateer explanation mostly solves the jump point problem for me, as I never played it. (blasphemy, etc.) Still, it could use some visual interest, which it seems you are going to incorporate. What Cam said about the ships appearing to be too close actually goes a long way to...

My biggest criticism about the busier ones is that they aren't particularly interesting compositionally. They seem to be just a jumble of ships floating in space with no significant direction or movement. For example, having a group of 3 fighters (like the Pirates or Dralthis) all moving with...

Perspective can do some strange things to your eyes. Looking good Brad.

If you are still working on this, I would suggest making the bump map more subtle. It will give you a more realistic appearance. I also suggest putting some dirt/weathering on the textures. You might try referring to a site like http://hyperscale.com/ for some tips on weathering. Those scale...

Thanks, this should come in handy.
