A dev's log.

[Mercarryn]

Hmm, I am not sure about the new model of the Mastodon if I will like it or not. Think I will wait for .87 to come out and then judge.
Speaking of models: Any other ships that get a new model perhaps? Perhaps something new for the Aquilon like this?

About the swapping of cruiser turrets:

[West]

Akegata... Jinx pls make replacement for akegata....
And thanks for turret swap.

@Mercarryn: the aquillon was indeed replaced to - well what you linked

akegata is kind of iconic even if its a background-starwars-import ... not sure if there are plans for replacements atm - but if someone comes up with a nice replacement - why not.

and the mastodon is here -

(Also, it wasn't that ugly. There are a fair few worse ships.)

Please name them. As for the Akegata: The model is fine, but the texturing is poor. I wouldn't mind updating the model - as I recall Jinx had one at some point. Alternatively, retexturing it with the default Kusari textures should work as well.

Dev update:
- Order gunboat reverted to 4.85 version per faction request. Created a better SUR for it though.
- Checked and corrected LOD values on -all- ships. Many of these were set way too high, which causes ships to be rendered prematurely. This causes an unneccesary amount of graphics load.

A few worse ships, but most of which have replacements slated for 4.87 last I checked. The Waran does have a replacement coming, right? Though... X-Shuttle? Firefly?

Plus there's the ships which are technically sufficient, but have low-quality textures or the shapes are just unusual. Mammoth, Havoc, Pilgrim, BHG Bomber.

Aside; have you received the Grizzly replacement (texture)? The creator says you should have received it already but didn't get confirmation from you. Also, I haven't really been in contact with Lohingren so I'm not sure if he's finished texturing that certain model I asked him to do.

I'm nearly 100% certain that there was an Akegata replacement made.

Edit: Ohhh, look. http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread...ht=Akegata

Firefly just need a proper high-res retexture to make it look like it does in the TV series...

... you folks should really read up. Most of those ships have already been replaced. The X-Shuttle is due for a replacement too. The Camara is not. Kujira and Akegata replacements that were mentioned haven't been received by me, so as it stands, no replacements planned. People can make all the previews they want but if the models don't make it to my inbox, that's all they'll ever be.

...have you received the Grizzly replacement (texture)?

Also, why not investigate if some of those "preview" ships ships yourself? What if the creators are unaware that now is a good time for them to be submitted?
