So we have some of the statistics and numbers for the Privateer III ships! At least a few of them -- is anyone working on modelling them up, fleshing them out, and perhaps adding them to one of the fan games? I'd love to try flying them against the ships which are their 'same era' compatriots, even if it is only in a simulator mission!

I'd love to see this. Prospective modelers should note that there's a small collection of Privateer 3 ship textures stored in the WCPedia entry for the game...

After going through the WCpedia archive. I really am in love with the Modular designs. Extremely in love. Almost looks like a Transformer ship "The Ark". Even tho much smaller.

Those are actually Privateer Online designs--I need to clean all that up.

If someone of you does decide to rebuild those Models, I recommend Blender. Here is a good tutorial. It even includes steps to Port them over to Freespace 2 and any FS2-Based Game, which includes WC Saga. And here's a good GIMP-Tutorial for Textures. Good luck. I'm looking forward to see your models.

I agree. Blender is a good choice because it is powerful, yet free, so it's a good place to start, though plenty of modelers primarily or even only use Blender.
I have the exact same opinion about GIMP as well.
