Topic: A new one coming down the line.. a TMP-era CVA project (and heads whirl!)

[Rod O'neal]

It's really looking good. I'm looking forward to being able to try her out, soon. Out of curiosity, what's the poly count of this beauty? Just wondering how BIG of a task force my 'puter could handle with her.

This is a Standard heavy carrier group for the Feds. (Since it was asked. )

CVA (w/12x F14, 12x A10), ECL, 2x DE, 2x CA, 2x FF, 1x SC. The exact variants depend on the year selected, etc.

I wasn't expecting an answer as the question was rhetorical. Just goes to show ya. Glad you had the information, though. With that task force you could really inflict a lot of harm. Get yourself a little early proximity action going and then lead with the fighters. Or just stand off and make the opponent pay to close the range. Choices, choices.

And we should be closing in on the release of the docking clamps soon if Mr. Atheorhaven is getting happy with her. Although, I'm perfectly content to wait for this one.

Looking good!!!!
How the hell do you guys work so quickly???!!!

In my case, I've worked on close to 200 ships now from the time I started... so my answer is,"A lot of practive".  

Also, I'm not working totally from scratch in this case, having a ship and preexisting textures to build on helps out a lot.

Overall, I'm really liking this baby.  But I do have just one question--should the nacelle pylons really be going right into the blue glowy top of the nacelles?    

They're not going to be.. I've added a small bit that'll blend the pylon and nacelle a lot better to extend the glow of the nacelle up the pylon a bit.  It'll help to smooth that out a bit and make it look better.  I was thinking of this myself when I looked at it, and on anduril's CVA, there's no need for it because there are TOS nacelles on it, so no glow.

Bump.
