Do you Guys also have the A-10 warthog? I have remade that To include a main gattling gun mount and gattlin like weapon, I have also made it were it has two afterburners both inside the engine pods.
I have the following setup,
2 afterburners, 1 counter measure in new location, 1 mine in new location, 1 sheild, 2 exahust nozzles, 4 or 6 wing located mounts, and my nose mounted gattling cannon. It is a slower ship, and has a hit hit point value. Right now it has been coded to work with FoxBox’es 88flak mod, But I can convert it to a vaillnia compatable one withint aday if you would like it.

Fell upon your post and almost litterally fell over, Sol! You have an amazing imagination and incredible skill at bringing it into “life”! I am awed, my friend.

Xarian, UV mapping is definitely the way to go when you want fine detail on superbly designed ships such as Sol’s.

MS3D’s Texture Co-ordinate Editor is so limited that it can easily ruin the work you put into your ship model, or at least cause you hours of hair-pulling that you should use learning UV Mapping instead.

There’s no end of better and better texture mapping guides on the net, look them up - here’s a good starting place for UVMapper….

The Classic version is free, and when you find its limits you will probably be very willing to buy the Pro version with so many cutting and seaming tools (once you know what that means - I don’t at the moment!!)

Not sure if it helps u a bit but there is not only a broken sleepership in FL.
There is also a sleepership in the manhatten cityskype, at last the fron and main body is there.
Take a look at it, there are some details u can not see on the hispania.

Sleepership……

My opinion?

Who, me? Oh, thanks, StarTrader, thought nobody would ever ask!!

Hehheheheh…

Make a completely new sleeper ship, Sol :- slicker, more cool, more sleek, more bigger, more sleepership!

Design it with banks of cells for animal pairs to save and thousands of cells for “prime” human specimens in mind - you know, middle-men and middle-women:-
politicians,
insurance brokers,
bankers,
council workers,
managers…!!

Make sure the lifeboats are enough for the crew and any kids.

And in the basement put lots of dungeons for murderers, poofs, paedophiles, transvestites, wife-beaters and other loonies next to the tigers and lions and sharks and crocodiles etc., so their meat is always fresh…!!! 8-)

And ensure the engines just about get it a couple of days into its voyage before they fizzle out…

<sighs>:)

Guess I’m in trouble now, huh? :roll:</sighs>

hopefully I’ll not make the same mistakes again … i still don’t know what those mistakes were but hey …

My gods man… you model like i code… pmsl 8-)

& sweet… been waiting on a “useable” sleepership for some time now… dam i can see me spending all Xmas & NY learning the “way of the texture” hehe… I can think of worse ways to spend the holiday…

? please please please please please

& you called me fast… bugger me she’s beautiful m8…

Next… hmm… how old ye Sol… do you remember the “original” V series… and those awesome transports they used?? we “need” a WORKING gunstar from last starfighter (the avalible one has major issues… belive me its been months and its still not converting properly)… anything from “Battle beyond the stars”… (awesome sci-fi film… i suggest anyone not seen… GO WATCH IT!!)

oh… hehe… and a LEXX… low poly of course… that’s the prob with the existing model it crashes in almost every modeler proggy as its just SO huge…

But V Transports… yeah… i dare say that will only take ye about a few hours at max… they pretty basic… just none exist… & I NEED EM… bahahahahah!!.. a V mothership would be cool too… for a base…

now if i could just get someone to make those uniforms for NPC’s… hmm… rabbits… tasy…

Erm… I could use a few new playtesters 8-) links on my sig m8

well… whilst searching for relevant pics… I managed to pick me up a 3ds of a smaller shuttle… nice… but for what i have planned in this area… just the begining…

Here are some pics i found around the net… some are kitbashes from fans… but i love the junkyard pic… I could go crazy in there…

& for fun… here’s “that” uniform… and what they “really” look like…

Still no “good” pics of a mothership… but it was basicly just a giant UFO… standard circle type. I will be spending Xmas -> NY watching it all again… as that’s when i get my box set from santa… lol

And some drawings that may be of use

The sleeper ship is an icon of Freelancer so I reckon my model has room for improvement …… as such, feel free to come with suggestions on things you’d like modified and I’ll look into it.
I named this ship “Oltenia” and I would appreciate it a lot if you’d keep the name at least somewhere in the ship’s infocard in the game … if you’ll use it of course .

Well here it is:

*Jaw drops, then falls off chair onto the floor. . . . . *

Holy cow, There was no way i’d be able to get that amount of detail into this ship. Many many thnaks I will see how the others like it and let them know who made it , I can not wait to get this going. Much thanks Mate.

Passes a cold sixpack your way "here mate You deserive it "

@ Tunicle… there sweet m8… gonna have to hijack someones printer and print them out for my wall 8-)

Just played a bit with the shuttle… methinks i’ll try UV mapping this one… as it “has” to be 100% perfect… close just wont cut it… ( i textured it… but no… defiantly try UV mapping here…) when she’s done… I’ll hunt down its owner (there was no info…) & see about releasing it for all

@ Sol… I imported the sleeper into ms3d… and it went all funky… seems it lost some weld or verticie data along the way… bad triangles everywhere… any ideas on how i would fix that … I have Blender/XSI & Wings3d here… maybe in blender?.. oh and no 6 pack… here’s the darn brewery… hehe

Got the same trouble, Used LithUnwrap opened it fine, resaved it as an OBJ file, Imported perfectly, but upon trying to texture it I was like WTF aye, I had no ideal what I needed to do to get it right.
