Yeah, I'm warming up to it. It's hard to capture the look in two screenshots tho. I've replaced the last pair, should give a better impression.

Slight tangent: now the bridge sticks out like a sore thumb again, those textures just don't measure up to the rest of the ship's skin.

Woteva the Outcome boys, i look forward to flying this beast of beauty so to speak , Goodluck and i hope it is completed very soon, i'm running out of tissues to drool on

I like the light metallic best. (But considering that I want to modify the texture anyways, I don't really care. Although it must be said once again that you guys do a great job here!)

T448
(eagerly awaiting the release as well.... I need a place where I can sell my custom heavy bomber )

That's a beautiful, beautiful ship. You've done an amazing job on that. Remind me to pit my supercruiser up against yours

the bridge does stick out a bit. Does it use the same background image as does the light metallic part of the ship?

The bridge uses the same skin for all the variations. Based off the original WC capships, the bridge is always black or dark for some reason. It's like those blue things on the bottom. All the capships in WC4 had them but damned if I know why or what they are. Just keeping the model to specs.

So far, the stats..

25 turrets that fire green bolts that do 50/50 damage. (class 1-9)
2 Torpedo Launchers
Top speed: 80
Cruise Speed: Universal Constant
No thrusters.
Heavy Freighter shields (I think)
Custom long range tractor beams, extra long range scanners, engine and powerplant.
Lots of lights.
The sur (hit detection) file of the Rheinland battleship (hahaha, not even close in size)
A fighter compliment of 400 (I wish)

Currently it bearly fits through a travel gate and has a 50% chance of getting stuck in a system gate and for some reason it will only orbit around jump holes.

Any suggestions on those last 2 that don't involve shrinking it?

Yah... I've moved the mountpoint all the way forward (to between the roots of the pylons), and it seems to have alleviated the problem. The jumptunnel effect is still FUBAR though.

That's because the ship is larger then subspace XD

Everything looks to be working. I sent it out to a few friends to test it, if all goes well, it'll be released tomarow.

I'm interested as to how you did the weapons placements. Did you use the locations in the WingIV diagram?

They're visible in neph's screenshots.

full 360 degree field of fire. too, top and bottom. The only blind spot the ship has is the flight deck, and with that, you can just hit cruise and veer into an asteroid field and bounce them to death.

When this thread first started I peeked in every once in a while. But now that I have looked again all I can say is ..................................

That is so superbly fantasticly cool!!

Are you coming out with a flashpack as a weapon against it?

I wish. I'm not sure how you could make a flashpack in freelancer. It would have to be somthing you get up close to the other ship and it has to stick to the targeted ship. Like some kind of ultra short range limpt torpedo.

Cmon Plague & Nephlim, Release this beast!!!

we are all drooling and waiting, and as i said, i'm running out of tissues....
