Well, first off... aside from two small quibbles, this is one of the nicer ships I've seen. It really will fit in with FL very well, and I'll probably want to borrow it if you ever release it publically- I've been looking for designs that fit FL.

My two quibbles:

1. I don't like the weapon placement. It'll look rather odd when the guns occasionally go through one another, and it'd be easy to put one on each of the tips of the winglets, and one angled below.

2. The side windows look like textures, not windows. Methinks you need to reverse the lighting on them- they should be slightly shadowed at the top, and any glints of light should be nearer to the center (if at all).

Lastly... if you want to shrink the MAT, then we need to know a lot more about it.

Tell you what... if you'll give me permission to incorporate this into a mod at some point (with full credit, of course), I'll take a good long look, and see if I can't help you find a better strategy here. Can't really get more specific until I've had a chance to see the MS3D version + the textures tho...

damn email notifications dosent work...

gimme a buzz on msn and we'll talk about it ok?

Email sent to that hotmail addy I don't use chat (no offense intended).

About the .mat size...are you using .TGA or .DDS type texture files? .DDS will save size and has LOD ranges built in. Very nice looking model though, unorthadox shape, but if you know me and the rest of my fellow modders...Well, most of ours are too Nice work

i use tga... didint tried dds

w tga managed to make it 2.5M

thx for kind words btw :p i have unorthodox thoghts so thats the result
