sadly I have to agree.. it does look slightly flat. with textures like that one expects the hull have the forms that the textures follow.

Furyofaseraph · « **Reply #161 on:** November 21, 2009, 11:49:34 PM »

I am very much open to suggestions

EDIT
The solution MAY have been simpler than I had thought at first. I don't know if this is the way to go, but I feel it adds just that missing bit of umph. I put inner workings in the gray panels, but far more subtle than on the really greebly parts.

ANOTHER EDIT
Just took away a few things, made it a little less crowded, I think.

that looks better.

Oh, Mirak ships, great! Will you remake the Hydrans too? The stock models are really low-poly, even for SFC standards.

Furyofaseraph · « **Reply #164 on:** November 22, 2009, 01:20:13 PM »

In the fullness of time, but not in the forseeable future. A modeller named thu11s remade a lot of hydrans (kitbashed them, really) from stock ones. They look much better, and they are enough to hold me over until I can get there. The only Mirak that are available are the stock ones, so they were pretty forward on my list.

EDIT: Amazing what some grunge can do.

You?re always doing amazing mods Foas. Very nice! ;)

Come on guys, where's the love? >.<

King Class Scout · « **Reply #167 on:** November 27, 2009, 07:07:14 AM »

love added.

I see you even went so far as to include Kzin text on the ship. must be their version of Times New Roman

I keep expecting to see a splash of light Barbie pink, somewhere. they guy who colored the cells for the Kzin's appearance in TAS was colorblind, and unknowingly pulled up a shade of 60's pink for the Kzin uniforms and ships

Furyofaseraph · « **Reply #168 on:** November 27, 2009, 07:08:04 AM »

Yeah - I kind of ignored that aspect of TAS >.<, and actually, that smaller ship (the frigate, which is now out for SFC) is sort of my homage to that TAS ship, with the twin outriggers.

I have a bit more love here for you

It's already out? I'll have to hunt it down. My BC lacks minor baddies.

Furyofaseraph · « **Reply #170 on:** November 27, 2009, 03:56:37 PM »

It's out for SFC, no one has asked to convert to BC yet

EDIT: started texturing up the Light Cruiser

Furyofaseraph · « **Reply #171 on:** November 29, 2009, 07:49:32 PM »

Bump to the top - plus a shot of the new Z-CL in SFC

deadthunder2_0 · « **Reply #172 on:** November 29, 2009, 09:04:50 PM »

Wow, just wow, makes me want to get out my old SFC2 EAW and shoot up some Lyrans with a Mirak battleship.

Furyofaseraph · « **Reply #173 on:** November 29, 2009, 09:14:24 PM »

You should get Orion Pirates (which is much better).

Further - some of us over at Dynaverse are setting up a neat campaign, so we could use the players

Really ? could you point some of the diefferences between them, cuz I never played it (althou I have SFC I,II,III)

btw. awesome ship, can't wait to see some Lyrans from you ;) cookie

That last one is awesome. I love the underside work, too. Specifically the front-end. Keep it up dude.

what sort of weapons are these mirak ships gonna be equipped with? If i recall correctly from my SFC1/2 days the Mirak were very heavy missle users....been a while since i messed with BC but is there a way to get a missle type weapon in game? And im gonna ask now rather than later..but will you give permission to port these badboys into Armada2? Im thinking of doing a SFC mod of Armada with some hydrans and gorn and everything....but all updated and looking like their 'real life' counterparts...

Furyofaseraph · « **Reply #177 on:** November 30, 2009, 04:27:33 PM »

The Kzinti (called the Mirak in SFC) are indeed a race of missile throwers.

The thing about missiles in BC is that I would be okay with showing them as torps if they behaved as missiles. I don't care about the graphics - that comes later, if at all - just give me the behavior.

Dalek · « **Reply #178 on:** November 30, 2009, 04:35:49 PM »

Torps in BC can be simulated to behave like missiles. Best example are the SG pack missiles. Even come with smoke trails.

Furyofaseraph · « **Reply #179 on:** November 30, 2009, 04:43:14 PM »

Yeah, I'd be content with those - if they can be made to behave the way I'd like.

Basically, there are various speeds that missiles can move at, and there are bunches of special packages you can load into a missile's frame that can do different things: MIRV, Shield Penetrator (1 point of damage bypasses shields) among other things.
