some ingame eyecandy. - it looks OK ( the system is newcastle - the engine effect is totally random )

details are fine - sharp edges and round surfaces appear OK. - but due to assigning - ah, funny turrets, i wasn t able to buy any .... but the hardpoint is there... and igiss just gotto replace them with normal hardpoints quickly - if he likes.
edit: i was able to create real "curved surfaces" in metaseq - that made the ornamental part of the ship look really good ( aswell as crashing my computer cause the model increased by like 60k polygons suddenly ) - too bad models in FL are rather low poly =)

O.O
My Gaian is going to dig himself out of his grave while the Defense Grid on Malta moulders, wondering when it's going to get permission to fire.
A few technical scruples: I think you could get away with increasing the curvature on the floral pieces a bit more (I know I would:$), and I think you ought to try and give this a Bretonian texture: Namely, the upper parts inset from those ridges should be textured in the Bretonian's red, and turn the faces bordering those sections into the Bretonian's blue-grey. The florals would also become Bretonian red. I'll still fly the thing, it's a real hottie, but I think giving it a bit more time in the paint shop and sending those fins off to be redone would benefit her appearance greatly.
Platonic Love,
Eppy's Inner Gaian

I'll take one.
It'll almost be a shame to slap some guns on that thing. She is one beautiful ship. But I'll go with Epyon on this one, the colouring needs some slight tweaking.

Hmm...Time to make a new Gaian...

wow jinx... that looks awesome.
What is the infocard for this ship gonna be like? That thing would fit Rikku's personal luxury yacht idea much better than the borderworlds transport i'm usin right now.

Excellent work, as always, Jinx. It looks very fitting, and veeerrryy nice.

ok - cause feedback is good - ( and i noticed some texture bugs anyway:P) - i have completely retextured it the "ghetto" - bretonian style. - or at least as much bretonian as i could make it...

whats what you get. - i didn t find any red texture - so i had to "dye" the silver texture. - thats as good as it gets. ( some tiles don t fit perfectly into one another - but mehh... at some point its no fun to modify the texture tiles anymore. my advice for non gaian pilots ... * you won t get close enough to notice it anyway ! * - and my advice for gaian pilots * drink a few glasses of islays finest - and you won t notice these texture mistakes anymore * )

Thats beautiful...and you were just talking about not having a bretonian texture...
Damn. Gaia is getting all the love.
gaian gunboat - Boss - 06-28-2008

gaian gunboat - Eppy - 06-28-2008
Now THAT is something I will be PROUD to fly. YUS!
