See, I still don't agree, but thats just opinion and everyone's is diferrent. The patriot and Defender are overdone if you ask me, they look like art deco. That doesn't mean I don't like them, I just thing they're overdone. And about the bloodhound, I don't think a ship has to look like junk to look used. Look at the Z-95 Headhunter, it's small,. it's stubby, it bulky, but it still has enough style that you can recognize that it's the predecessor of the X-Wing. Plus it doesn't look like someone went to the junkyard to build it.

And I think ships are part of the experience. When you let people loose on system design, and whathaveya, they get corney. There's no Q&A in the amatuer world, and I think when people get to liberal, it doesn't seem real. We all liked Spaceballs, but It doesn't hold a match to Star Wars. It's funny, but it's not realistic, so the fantasy dies.

And I've been working on getting used to MilkShape, so If someone doesn't start putting out WC ships or some DECENT star wars ships, (other than the old familiar.) I'm gonna do it myself. The only problem I have is with texturing. I'll get a handle on it though.

Alright, no one seems to want to do this, so I'll have to do it myself. I started working on the hornet fighter from WC1. I've finished the 2-D Base of the model just have to give it form. It took me about 3 hours to 2-d it. Damn Milkshape.

I might need help on texturing if anyones interested. I'll give you full credit on the model. johnhawke+whoever's hornet mod. If not, I'll probably have to figure that out myself also.

All I can tell you so far is... it looks awesome. I mean this is good stuff. No imperfect angles, no asymetrical features, perfect. I mean to add the gun rods also, and mount the weapon hardpoints on the end. I'll probably have to tweak the axis's on the guns, or it'll look pretty funny.

I'd post what it looks like so far, but I've got yahoo file sharing, and they won't let me share images unless I pay them.

I'll keep everyone posted.
