Freelancer ship development

Update to Junker cap ship. Battleship size, though could be shrunk to cruiser without difficulty.
New: less ugly (aww...) but more detail. Poly count not too bad.
(thinks to self: now how am I going to texture this thing...)

Nadir I'm speechless,

That...is what a junker ship should look like.

Well done, keep it up.

I almost Cried.

That ship is beautiful. Congradulations ona superly awesome job.

Now you just need to get it into the mod somehow.

:)hehe. Thankyou.

I will head over to Lancers Reactor to look at the tutorials at some point. Defining the hitbox has me worried at the moment. That and keeping the polygon count down. I've added some details and it's up to 8000 polys. Will have to check how many other cap ships have as a reference...

I guess the last thing to do would be work out how many turrets to put on it and where. I had the idea that a Junker ship would have a primarily defensive role protecting 'junk' and therefore have good rear firepower.

Oh and Vaporlinx, Legionation, (or Doom if you're still into this) I don't mean to hijack your thread, keep us updated with progress on your models. Personally I like... ...oh dear I can't think of a model (play on the word 'model' referring to a female who exposes his/her preternaturally good looking body for the gratification of manufacturers of swimming attire which probably shows I've been in a steady relationship for a very long time...) ... (not permitted a sad face... or a smiley face either... *sigh*)

Just an fyi for the poly counts, i try to keep mine at less than 1000 for light/medium fighters, 2000 for hf/vhf/transports 3000 for gunboats/destroyers 4000 for super transports/cruisers and 5000 for battleships/dreadnoughts
the bret battleships is about 5000 polys, and the highest model ive seen is at 10k polys, its one of the stations. As per ser files, ill fool around with em and see what i can figure out, cause ive not done em either.

o just one thing i noticed about your model is the textures, you used alot of window textures in odd places, idk if it will but freelancer might recognise them as such and make them fully lit.

Good point on the polycounts just remember that all poly counts are done in triangles which means that each quad sided polygon = 2 triangles.
