I dusted off SFC OP after I have been tinkering with retexturing Cleeve's old FASA Orion Lightening class. I wanted to update the Beastmaster Cartel version I did a few years ago.

I cannot find the original model online or the orginial README. So I could use some help with finding that.

This retexture uses Atrahasis' retextured FASA Orion Blockade Runner textures. I was thinking that there was a train of thought about the Federation ships having modular/interchangeable bridges and I thought I'd try that logic with an Orion pirate vessel.

I like the way it came out. I could see this in the Tigerheart Cartel's fleet.

I would remind folks that this is an OLD low poly model and would be one of many of the Non-Federation ships that could use a higher poly version. If the retextured command pod were raised as part of the model this retexture would be even better.

Certainly gives it a much more interesting appearance. I've been thinking of dusting off and tinkering with some of the old Hydran models myself.

Neat - is it hollow in the middle or I'm imagining that? Looks cool.

No, it's not hollow in the middle.

The black textures cover up a major mesh issue that I can only see if I try to use CV to make SFC3 pictures for it or if I angle the ship just right in Taldren's mod viewer.

Still cool anyway, and nice job of covering up the issue.

I've been looking for ships to fill out my X-ship mod. I play with X-ships with move bases 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 1, and 1 1/2. I haven't done anything with it in a year or so, but I'll be nice to have a new X-pirate.
