The Atlas - What happened?

[Jack_Henderson]

Revert to old one.
The old one was a beauty.
The new one is plainly ugly.

[Epo]

Heck, older one is much better.

The old one was a beauty.

While this statement makes me wonder about Jack's tastes... I agree that it was better than the brick that was spotted now.

But seriously... a beauty? The Atlas? Hahaha

[Haste]

I still have a .86 install right here and it was still using the old model back then. I wouldn't exactly call it pretty, although it was more "complex" which usually is more aesthetically than a brick.

Rolling it back shouldn't be difficult if everyone considers it the way to go.

I am still curious on who does those changes and why it was made with Bottlenose too?

FL MOD(EL)MAKING: TOOLS, RESOURCES, TUTORIALS AND MY SHIPS (OLD)

I am on discord: Roal-Yr#5994, I don't log on forum more than a few times a year.

I am not making ships for FL anymore, I am making my own space game instead:

If the Bottlenose was changed it was likely done to accommodate its (pretty major) rescaling back then. Not sure by whom. Maybe AD did it, if not Jinx. I don't know.

The Atlas change made it look more universal and less like a dedicated gas transport - which in my book is a good thing - but did make it lose some charm.

I could take on 7 bombers with the .86 Botttlenose. And I wasn't even decent with TSing back then. Old BN was pretty broken, old BHG| even had a policy where Hunters were advised to not pursue smaller prey with the BN due to how OP it was.

I was speaking only about texture altering. In old version there were no windows, that definitely look out of place now and IMO do not fit this vessel.

I do kind of miss the grey bottlenose.

[TheShooter36]

what about combining the old model with current one (namely engines of old) ?
