The "Huntress"

[AlexPaladinStorm]

@StormHawke: www.lancersreactor.com forums and see the modeling part you can start making one from scratch if you want, you got all the info there.

Well, I can just get to work modelling it from 3DS Max if I wanted.

Though I want to be able to import the model currently used in Discovery into Milkshape, before I try and make it from scratch. Most of the work's basically done for me, after all. I just have to make the geometry of the model more complicated, and put the 'launcher' arms out in the 'deployed' stance - because I like that one better than the Acolyte's folded-up stance. The ship is animated in Homeworld: Cataclysm, and deploys out those big tubes (as seen in the images off Homeworld Shipyards - both stances are shown in the various images) when entering combat. Normally, those 'tubes' are used for missiles, so the Acolyte can function as a sort of bomber. In Cataclysm, those launchers are one-shot tubes, and the fighter has to head back to dock to reload them.

Whoever made the model used in FreeLancer put both of the missile tubes on the same side and made it into the 'torpedo' ... it makes it look stupid. The original model had a very burly, muscled feel with those big 'arms' off the sides. Looked like a real brawler. The version in FreeLancer... isn't nearly as intimidating.

EDIT: Oh... to continue on the thought on importing the one from the mod: I can't seem to get any CMP importer to work with Milkshape. I've gotten the Exporters to work fine enough, but the Importer either needs to be compiled (as is in one instance), or it causes Milkshape to crash while it starts up.

Currently: Remastering Kiith Somtaaw's Acolyte Fighter. These Homeworld ships need some Sirius work done on them. ^.-
