NEW IMG SHIPS

[Tenseiken]

Ship size can be addressed later. I will say however, that the LF is VERY agile, and can mount a minirazor - so that it's big to offset those advantages is only fair. We'll have to see about the VHF - if it's too big for the powercore it has, might be easier to up the core a little bit and keep it a bigger, bulkier VHF akin to the Titan that relies on firepower rather then agility.

Sorry to tell you Aet. But I have the LF and it still turns and flies like the Charon.

Aye, it is more of a HF than a LF, to be honest.

The mining ships are sposed to be bigger and not as good in combat though. Thats the price of having mining equipment aboard.

@ Doom re: model/textures etc

Very nice. Ugly AND sexy at the same time. Saying that makes me feel dirty. I'm going to go wash now.
Well done

That texture fix definately helps. Does it propagate through the entire line? IE are the transports, gunboat and cruiser affected?

Yes...as they share same texture file

Please explain

DDS is Nvidia format of texture file and within it self it has several levels (LODs) of same texture in different sizes. DDS is part of MAT(erial) file that give ships textures (among some other texture related thigs).
For much better explanation talk with Treewyrm. He knows stuff.

The new texture definatly looks interesting, but it doesn't fix the problem of the ships being oversized (LF and VHF).

Also I'm not sure if a mainly black/grey ship is the best fitting choice of color for the IMG line, don't get me wrong, it's not looking bad, but is it fitting for IMG? Still I'd prefer this more detailed textures.
