Quote:Always amazed at your designs. I've got a Hathor actually. But I'm looking forward to the changes. I assume the hardpoints will remain essentially the same? Six forward four back? So the change will be cosmetic only?
Uh, the hathor has 8 forward, 6 back...

Not osiris/nephthys textures, I'd prefer something more like the new geb carrier's textures - darker black/grey, and very smooth looking. You're right that the current textures on this one look too rusty, too... corsairish, or just old and not kept in good condition.
' Wrote:all in all i have revised it, cause the current conference looks more advanced than the current hathor - which is somewhat wrong. - the hathor is still supposed to be the more advanced gunboat out of those two. - besides, i did a really bad skinning job on the current hathor ( except for the engines, which look quite good on it )
This is a really good job Jinx.
I have an off-topic but related question to ask though, I love the Zoner conference other than the two windows on the nose, can you remove them for the next update please? It doesn't need windows and it spoils what is otherwise an amazing looking ship.
I don't know why you like these weird looking fronts, but I suppose it was too much to hope that they didn't touch the Order's line of ships.
I'd really love to see more Order-based designs in the Order's fleet than Zoner-based designs. Yes, yes, I know that the Zoners supposedly help them a great deal, but the fact of the matter would be that the Order would be using their own, classified designs. Not the Zoner designs. And Order designs are very derived from Liberty's designs... and I haven't seen anything of Liberty within any designs lately. You need to use the Osiris and Anubis as guides. I don't care if people say "Well, they were just stolen ships and the Order needs to make better ones now..." we should retain at least a semblance of influences from Vanilla within the Order line. Which you haven't, so far. They look nothing like they should.
If I want to fly Zoner ships, I will fly them on my Zoner.
Not my Order character.
The Geb looks like a Zoner ship. So does this new Hathor.
Old Hathor did too.
Old Geb was a bona-fide Order ship. I would love it brought back, so much.
I would think more Order influences would be in line. Especially when it comes to skinning the vessels.
Sorry if I don't appreciate this work.
I'm just fed up with Order vessels looking like Zoner ships.
Very fed up.
I like the model Jinx I really do, but why all of a sudden do we need a new gunboat design? I think we should be working on getting rid of all the imports for now, but hey that's just my opinion.
Like the new model Jinx, but seriously, can you ever be happy with an awesome ship you make? For every awesome ship of yours that gets put in the mod, you revise it at least five times. Could you put some energy into replacing crappy imports rather than stuff you made that already looks awesome?

there is only one single order ship that shows zoner influence - and we did that on the very specific purpose that there is almost no other relationship between zoners and the order.
regarding the lore and how "things are done" - the zoners have a MUCH greater understanding with the BHG, which is supposed to be the enemy of the order... while the ID card suggests that the zoners are buddies with the order.
the BHG uses freeports, it activly ( not secretly ) assists zoners in the defense ( cause its in their own interests ) etc.
we made the gunboat a shared project. - and i fail to see where you spot zoner designs on every corner in the order fleet - as the gunboat is the only ship that shows zoner influences.
@kablob ( and others that mentioned it )
i revise ships, cause i have new ideas for them. - they don t keep me away from thinking of other ships... IF i have ideas for them
this gunboat took 2 hours from the first triangle to the hardpointed and skinned state. modelling is easy and doesn t take time - having an idea is the hard part.
revising models that already have a concept is easy.
not making revisions doesn t mean i put time into working on other replacements. - not making revisions only means.... not making revisions - and thats it.
Sprolf.. Order line.. Zoner line.. it doesn't matter.
Jinx uses similar design with some tweaks that leads to something very good and different .. you can spot maybe few things in common but .. every designer does that..
I don't care how it looks or what it looks like.. as long it looks good.
And about that front weird grid thing.. maybe add like triangle shape thing to make it like scoop ..
"Air" intake or something kind of look and that green part wont be visible form above but from front you could see it inside
