gaian VHF

as promised - here is the skinned version of the fighter... i had it for some time ( since i placed it into the sig ) ... but this will give you a better idea of how it looks.

once again - i had to realize that bretonian skins are a pain. - this skin is not perfect... it doesn t always match in every place, but it was the best to come up with.
since the engine is located in the front of the ship - i split the rear downwards fin into a forked fin.

the ships size is medium sized - and i ll try to attach some hitbox to it that fits as good as possible.

I like it, but it looks better in your sig. Don't know why but this is my opinion... Anyway, nice work.

PS. The front view is OSSIM!!!

it looks better in my sig, cause i have of course applied half a dozen macros to it:laugh:. - but it does look better than the presented collection of perpectives. - the red colour isn t striking that much... its more pale in the game. - i just increased the saturation of the red to make it stand out a bit more - so its easier to see the whole pattern.

however - i also just observed that i totally forgot to skin the wingtips..... ( grey smudge from above )

Is there also an engine in the back? Cause there are "air" intakes near the cockpit it would fit and it would also make the ship a bit more logical with 2 engines like that. Something like the Do-335.

there is no engine in the back - and since these are spaceships - i consider all the grills to be "heatsinks" rather than air intakes...

so - if i had to make something up ... i d just claim that these heatsinks are meant to cool down the reactor and the weapons coils ( whatever... truth is ... i put the grills there cause its a design decision without any further purpose in the technical sense )

The front of the ship is epicly small. Me likey.

[Mao]

Yeah, maybe a small engine in THAT spot?

Let's say... for the ship's stability?

PS. I saw lots of new ships on the forum. When will I see them in the game? In 4.86 or in another update of 4.85?

haha - is that plane real?:laugh:- that look rediculous - ... but yes... it has some resemblence to some ww2 planes - mostly due to the exposed cockpit in the middle of the ship ( instead of the front like modern days jets )

Thing is, does it really account as a VHF if it is so thin? Looks more like something HFish or even LFish.

Or is it another hybrid?
