Well, I just guessed what forum you were talking about.

Anyway yeah those are my ships, I also do low-poly modeling and those can easily be lowered into an acceptable ranger of polies for SFC. However I have no experience modding SFC so I don't know how to do conversions or anything like that. But, I'll wait to hear what you guys think.

rather good

-one thing though, its a little OT but still:
i looked at the locations of u ppl because i usually like knowing whos from where but ... I know theres a town/city(?) called seattle somwhere but what country does WA mean? Kansas, for example, isnt it in america, never heard of "Wichita"... bothers me... maybe because its like 04.30 lol

It sounds more like it's 4:20 for you Mackie.

Seattle is in Washington, far northwestern state in the US.
Wichita is in Kansas. Kinda in the center of the country a bit west of the Mississippi river.

America is divided up into 50 states, each of which governs itself to a degree. Each state has several cities in it, including a state capitol. The state Seattle is in is called Washington, which is in the far north western corner of America. Hope that clears it up.

Anyway, back on the topic: What do you guys think of the ships?

Mackie · « **Reply #6 on:** March 24, 2003, 08:42:47 pm »

thank you for expanding my mind guys

*slaps self for being stupid*
iknow the most "general" things about usa like capitol and so on,
mostly little tidbits but the places tend to get a bit lost at times

Mackie · « **Reply #7 on:** March 24, 2003, 08:45:54 pm »

yes erm teh topic *cough*

-the ships are fine but the sparrowhawks (i know its a sfb design yes) "head" seems to be kind of... hanging. lol
the models r0x, how many polys atm? just out of interest

You at least did not say the line. god how I hate seeing or hearing that.

When people say it Im like NO fn Shi* you aint here dumb as*

And theres only two cities that care about it And both have put up houses saying this is where its was filimed.

Ill let you guess which City it was flimed because I aint saying.

Polies? Don't remember of the top of my head, somewhere around 20k-40k.

Desty_Nova · « **Reply #10 on:** March 24, 2003, 09:54:25 pm »

Yep, that's a Sparrowhawk on Module K. It's sort of a wierd rendition of it, but it's still a cool painting. Anyway, I used schematics as well as models from fleetdock 13 for reference. I also look at Anduril's Sparrowhawk.

Desty_Nova · « **Reply #12 on:** March 24, 2003, 10:16:36 pm »

yeah, it wouldn't be a problem redoing these as low-poly meshes. Hell, it would make texturing easier. I'll do some low poly meshes and post them, and you guys can see what you think.

Rod O'neal · « **Reply #13 on:** March 24, 2003, 10:30:28 pm »

Thanks! That would be great

Desty_Nova · « **Reply #14 on:** March 25, 2003, 11:50:20 am »

I've updated with progress on the ISC Star Cruiser, and some new ships as well.

anduril · « **Reply #15 on:** March 25, 2003, 12:34:57 pm »

I love your ISC cruiser. If you were to say...make all the classes it would save me going back through fleetdock13's!

Desty_Nova · « **Reply #16 on:** March 25, 2003, 02:52:05 pm »

Thanks Anduril. I don't think it would be too hard too make all ISC ship classes after this one. All their hulls are so similar in shape, all it takes is a little tweaking/rescaling of components and redoing some textures. Maybe I will be saving you that trouble.

Rod O'neal · « **Reply #17 on:** March 26, 2003, 12:02:38 am »

I just went and took a fresh look at the meshes. Like them all. Love the Kzintis

The ISC and Pirate raider are real nice too.
How much detail will you loose when you drop the polys to about 5K? I assume that's about
the level they have to be to be reasonably playable in SFC.
