Gisteron,
I wasn’t totally pleased with the old cockpit look from the start, and wanted to get input from others about it. I thank you very much for your opinion and honesty.

Gisteron,
Here is another version with a different canopy. The front section of this canopy is clear as you can see, and I can also make it appear to be glass without the transparency effect.

I agree that the smoother canopy does look a lot better than the old one.

Thanks for the input guys.

cata123,
Yep it looks like UV mapping this one will be lots of fun, ha!

Gisteron,
Do you think something like a tear-drop shaped smooth canopy would look a lot better? I can do those easy enough.

By the way, this model was built in 3DCrafter v9 from www.amabilis.com if anyone is interested in checking it out. It’s a very nice and easy to use modelling program.

Here is a model I recently created. Not sure if I’m finished with it just yet, as I’m not too good with textures, but let me know what you think.

It’s called the Devil Ray, and my idea for it would be heavy fighter with six guns(class 8 - 10), one top rear turret, two missile launchers, plus the various other hardpoints( countermeasures, etc.)

Yep, it’s another “older” thread I’m commenting on. :roll:
Some of these Mods look very interesting and impressive(I’ve read all the summaries and looked at just about every picture).

One thing I’ve noticed is about the ships, whether it be fighters, gunboats, or capships. I know space is dark for the most part but in almost every picture, it’s so dark you can’t make out much detail in the ships. It would be great if the modders and ship modellers could post clear, detailed, and well lighted pics of their new ships.

I’m also a 3D modeller so I’m aware of the importance of being able to clearly see what any ship looks like in detail. In fact, if not for a devastating crash on my old computer(everything lost), I would be posting pics of my models here on this forum in the hopes that someone might use them in the game or one of the Mods.

Anyway, just my thoughts and I’m through rambling now…hehe

Hey thanks a bunch Alex and Robocop. No wonder I couldn’t find it in Om-Alpha, hehe

Thanks again,

Hey guys,
I saw a post by Anonymous from about 3 years back that said you could buy the Eagle Fighter(a level 10 ship) at Freeport9 in Omicron Alpha.

I’ve been to Om-Alpha many times and still have not seen Freeport9, so the question is; Is this in SP, MP, or Mod?
If its in SP does anyone have a sector number?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks Bas,
I’ll check that out also.

Hey thanks Sizer,
I’ll check out Wings of the Federation

Hi Everyone,
I’m new to the forums but not to FL. I’ve played it through a few times now. Got a couple of questions.

1. After finishing the storyline in FL I try to use the jumphole from Chugoku - Tohogu and get “dock denied”. Anyone know why? Is there someone in one of the systems I need to talk to for access codes?

2. Since I’m pretty much strictly SP in most any game, what Mods are good for extending/adding to the storyline in FL for SP mode?

Thanks for any help you might be able to offer.
