New Ship Skins

[Badger]

Spoiler Warning: Custom ships ahoy. If you don't want to see some of the new ships to Discovery, look away now!

Ok, the idea was spawned in the "Ship Status" thread in the main Mod Discussion forum to make the new ships to Discovery look a little more at home... Just as Discovery strives to be the most balanced and true expansion to the Freelancer universe as possible, I thought some of the new additions could use a little make-up.

The basic premise is that pretty much all of the community created ships are skinned to either look exactly like from their original game, or just skinned too "cleanly" to fit in with the original crowd, sometimes both. So here starts my skinning mission: to muddify (see what I did there? :0P) the new ships to look more comfortable in the Freelancer universe.

I present exhibit A: The Taiidan Bomber

Original:

Muddified:


As you can see, I've left as much of the original design intact as possible, but removed aspects that looked out-of-place alongside the original Freelancer ships, such as decals. Unfortunately the Taiidan Bomber isn't textured perfectly, so some faces will still look distorted, but I did what I could with what was there. The whole "muddifying" process was fairly easy and not time-consuming and I think the effects, even though slight, are still pretty good.

So what do you guys think?
