Thanks for the new Nova and Akira - finally able to replace existing models.
Not sure if I was only one to get this, but the Nova initially had some texture problems in game where the spine, pylons and sec hull showed up pale. Basically they were missing alpha channels but once I fixed looked beautiful, esp the new glows. EDIT: alpha channel problem NOT with initial download but occurred when resized texture TGAs.
And made new registries for Equinox and Rhode Island (as well as Thunderchild akira) so if anyone asks...
