Perhaps I should stay at Sectorgame. You guys give me much more feedback and even suggestions. ;)

Hygeria looks really cool and beautifully detailed. :)
Boanerges looks better than the original, but the engines don't quite fit the rest of the ship. They look a bit tackked-on.
For that'un i'd suggest adding smaller details more usually seen on FS craft, and/or wait for a HTL version to pop up.

Keep it up :D

Thanks.

What are those ' smaller details' ?

Something like "danger" signs?


Uhm... and Btw, here is a small Orion map pack.

Only minor textures, but as I do not know when I'll continue to work on the Orion maps, I think it's better to release them.

Yeah, stuff like the little danger signs on the front, but also generic details that add so much realism to ships, such as:
- small cover platings here and there
- gratings/vents, mechanical recessed bits (like on the sides of the engines)
- the odd (small/faded) blast mark
- more visible/additional panneling lines (tho not quite as pronounced as the rounded plating before) etc.

Basically some detail that a HTL modder could add in to the model improve it, and some that would just look cool. :)

the engine nozzles are 2d as well.
it looks better definately.
also, the boenergies is a cool looking ship (w decent maps) and is fine for bombing runs in single player. its just in multi its useless

it shouldnt be 2 hard but the boenergies r supposed to have low polycount - otherwise they would look vasudan.

I know what you mean, but the model itself looks like something from my early days of playing with Lightwave, still the maps look good and that Hygeia is gorgeous!

Yes, but how would one go about upping the detail on the Bone? It looks like that is how it's supposed to look... :|

hmm... it is a pretty bland ship. i suppose if u added acces panels and hull plates like the medusa.
