Could someone model this?



I would really love to see this in-game! I would do it myself, but I have no modding skills what-so-ever.

The only problem I with this, is that the engines would have to be facing completely back, instead of down.

You do realise that its a but awkward to be flying a hybrid helecopter in the middle of space?

not if you turn the engines in to rocket engines, btw if you download milkshape, read some tutorails on it, you can make the thing you selfs. Once you have that done you can search the formums for a way to add the ship. IF you get to finish the moddel (im trying my selfs but it pretty damd hard to get anything right)

ahhh, yes, the orca.

if you make "rocket engines" you can make it look nice too.

should be really small ship, 2 class 9 guns and 2 class 10's, low armor and shielding but really "zippy".

You do realise that its a but awkward to be flying a hybrid helecopter in the middle of space? (could have been worse, like the nod apache )

That's why I would change the model by....

1. "Rocket engines" pointing backwards w/ purple/blue brentonia flame
2. Tail fins in a "downward V" (like the junkers CSV)
3. Remove the side rocket launchers and replace the with hard points for weapons

Still thinking of what I would make the stats, maybe something like...

Type: LF
Guns/Turrets: 3/0 or 3/1
Power: 5/6
Armor: 3400
Cargo Space: 40
N/B: 22
Price: $75,845(?)

@ Artic: I did download MS3D, but could you point me to some tutorials?

theire are a dozen tutorails around all copied from 1 tutorial as they all start the same way.

its pretty basic, but Milk Shape isnt that hard to understand and you wont need much more until you have got a blanco ship.
Just 1 advice, draw a coupel of pictures of what you want to make, (3d, side, top front.) it will be easery when you know what you are making.
And also practive patience, and save a lot as MS only has a undo for 10 steps.

Question about MS3D.

Can I re-download it after the 30-trial period runs out?
