Just that im working on it

This is how the Iowa is supposed to look for FS2....I'm posting this strictly becoause of the turrets, not the textures


As you can see, the main punch are the Ion Cannon turrets and the Biganti-capship missile launcher on the bottom (and the beam cannons, but I doubt that you'll put those in Fl)
Apart from that, just a horde of Gatling and flak guns

id love to have 1 of those models but i have no experience in skinning and/or modeling and/or putting docking points on ships (the last 1 looks like it could be an awsome cap-ship base)

The wolfy types like a cow

Let's see.... I'm currently modding for Freespace 2, KOTOR, and have been (suspended until further notice) modding Bridge Commander, War3, NWN, SFC3, BotF... and a few others I think....oh..and Freelancer of course..

I've been doing only small stuff for FL, but I just downloaded the CompleteShipmaking tutorail, so maby I'll port a few of those to FL...

THought Modding KoToR was a real no no.

Say...Spawn...I have a small request ..If I may...

You said that you will make the Iowa as big as the Rheinland battleship...well urm...make it bigger...S
o what if it can't pass trough tradelanes? The whole point of capships is - they're big, they're bad, and they're slow..
Honestly, I belive that FL capships are pathetic...a WW2 small destroyer had more guns/firepower than those battleships
One should re-name the cruiser to gunboats, the battleships to destroyers and add two new calsses...real cruiser and battleships...

NOTE:I doubt I'll be porting capships...too much job for me(no time..no will). So if anyone wants some of them...gimme a yell!

I just made a poll about the Iowa at the starfyre studios forum. LOL I was looking at it getting ready to do the testures and the front just looked so...unfinished. i made two variants . Right now variant 1 is in the lead. And i probably will make it the size of a tradelane, so that if done right you can use a trade lane but it will still be a use at your own risk.

Spawn, I think that variant 1 looks better as well.

Could you maybe do some cross sketches for each of the ships? its a bit hard to see the 2nd variant and the original...

Definately the first! The nose on the second one just looks lame...

EDIT: One thing...I have trobule converting my Phoenix model from 3ds to m3d..
If I fail, could you convert it for me and send me the m3d back for me to finish it?

yup email it to my Starfyre email account, which seems to be down ATm, but tis probabnly just a routine outage. Yeah the Variant 2 is the first one i did, and it looks too standard. The Variant 1 looks more origina.
