WOW!!  With rigs like that I'd actually consider flying as ISC.  Great job WZ and Azel.

What's with all the sudden ISC-loving attention??? (I don't mind it in the least, now I can get lots of vareity to pick from...)

Now it's just a matter of me convincing the D2 gang that we need more ISC ships so we can use all these awesome models...

Why do I get the feeling that convincing the D2 guys isn't going to be a problem?

I can honestly say that is the best TMP adaptation of ISC ships I have seen so far.  I think Thull's are very nicely done also but these "click" for me better.

Well if it helps, think of Thul's great work as Pre-refit designs. I gotta reload SFC OP and get some screenies of these 2 in action against a WZ Connie. ;)

You missed the stage where we were attempting to modify ships for "balance"...

It took forever and a lot of work just to let us try to swap Pl-D for Pl-I, nevermind getting any kind of "variants"...

When I flew SGO4, all I remember about the ISC is that they were total cheese.  Even in the stock game they weren't that tough, on any setting.  But then again by the time I flew SGO4 it had been a very very long time since I had fired up SFC:OP.

You mean my mini-avatar?, ie This one?

That's just a screenie of the I-DN UI from OP.  I started a mission against an I-DN, screenshotted it once I got the DN in the lower MFD, cut, shrunk and rotated it to make it avatar-sized.

I could send you the original .gif (as I don't think you can get the URL from the boards) if you'd like...

Not picking on you Daihak, but were you facing, say, and I-CAZ while in a NCA or CCB of just about any other race?

Reason I ask is that, if you based your "cheese" perception on this, then you fell into the same trap that caused the ISC to get into the predicament I mentioned above...

The ISC ships are "misclassed", as it were, an I-CAZ is BPVed in the same range as, say, many other BCHs.  An experiment I set up in SFB, I took a K-D7L, fully refit (UIM, etc.), with a SFC-ish load of fast Type-I drones, and did up the BPV.  It is within 2 BPV of, all ships, the I-CSZ, every "combat ready" ISC CA-hull beats out the K-D7L by a wide margin...

Yeah, when I was flying SGO4.  I am well aware that when it came to ISC ships, always consider the class of ship to be one class higher, and even then, half the time the ISC still had the upper hand. 

As I said before, in the stock game, on any setting I was playing, in any ship, the AI weren't as hard to take out as the AI on the server, but I also know they rebalanced the mod.  I'm well aware of the conditions of the mod.  I was just pointing out an experience I had on SGO4. 

Also, having a certain person as my race leader for most of the campaign wasn't exactly a very fun experience, since after a while, this person would get easily high-strung and stressed out.
