Uhm im not sure this is the right forum, but when i see pictures of charon, the REAL charon from Battlestar Galactica... its white with dark red metallic stripes. Yeah i know we dont have the graphic engine in FL to give textures a real non-lagindusing metallic finish... but would it be too hard to make it white and red like from the real series?
Its a great shipmodel, and i'd love to see it stay (although i guess it will be replaced in .86) But would it be alot of work to change that dull boring rock gray into white?

And make it even more import-like?
No, modifying the texture work on a ship is not such a big deal.

who cares, import or not. Its a good shipmodel. Be it disco model™ or import. Atleast this one kinda fit into this mod...

Give us a Viper mk II,devs!

It was changed from the original design to what it is now because that ship is a direct import from BSG, I sincerely doubt it will be changed back.
Sorry man.
Charon - Rommie - 04-19-2011
Err, that's the Viper MkII.
The Charon is a replica of the ViperMkI, the old one from the first BSG.
The Viper MkII is not coming back.

Charon
Pretty-fied Charon
We already have a nicer looking viper, accompanied by (soon to be changed) infocards containing lore that makes this import fit into the freelancer universe.

Nyx is not prettified, and its colonial ONLY in .86
If we gonna have a import, why not give it a better finish...
Half-assed imports only look worse.

We had the viper mk II. It was removed for 4.85. Most BSG ships were removed including both Battle star's. I miss my advanced Battlestar. It was sweet.

would be nice to just swap charon (viper MK I) with a newer version Charon (viper MK II)
as well, MK II looks better....
