I like the Harpy the most out of all ships in Legacy, that better go well... Our Warbird will look strange compared to other BC offerings but I prefer it over others. Textures though as these are not the final versions, they may look different later on. If the Gryphon ever gets shown, I will show you what the final version of that will look like when the time comes.
As for resolutions, I like the idea of low/med/high settings and will be taking that into the mod so thanks for the idea. I personally dont see a need to go any higher than 1024x1024 with the ships we have and not all the ships are in the 512x512 format. At this point in time, looks are not a concern for us. That is something that is purely cosmetic and at this stage in development, cosmetics is at the bottom of the list.
I split development into two main areas, cosmetic and mechanical. Mechanical is mostly where I will be working in. There are things I want to try with BC to improve performance for everyone. Though Legacy and BC are different engines, I want to try and bring over some of Legacy's code to improve performance and less system strain. Legacy has a few bits of code that relax requirements, alter system calculations and multi load code that if it can be transferred and recognized by the BC engine I will have a huge headstart on development and would save around 6-8months of work.
I know one thing I really want to do is get rid of that interface... I will learn how to change BC's interface.
