That's the bad boy! Well, ramon?

I know, I know, I've been terribly slack. I've also got an Asp in development too. You go ahead and do a version of the Anaconda because it'll be a month or two yet before I get the time to start working on them again!!

There is a space simulator called Orbiter (http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/)
which is apparently really good if you've got the time to get into it.

i started remodelling the Asp. I need to carry on with that really and finish the Anaconda with all these super new shaders. I haven't checked but is there one thread explaining how to use all the new shaders?

looks good doesn't it

it is a pretty slick ship, I don't mind taking credit for it lol

i've not been around for a while either, but if I came back and saw that someone had modified my ships I'd be happy that they thought mine were good enough to be used again.

(the mosquito trader by the way guys, a great ship to modify )

How about 'The Queen's Beaver' ?

The cockpit is waaaay too big on that screenshot. @Deepspace, I think your cockpit is a bit too big too (sorry) - by the way when are we going to get updated screenshots on your site? My daily routine is look through Oolite forum, check Deepspace website (see if he's planning planet landings :)) get...

if you use Maya you'll be able to export the files as .obj and then convert them to dat files using the 'obj to dat' Python script.........I can't quite remember how but there's plenty of info on the forums somewhere about it, that's how I found out.

this is going to make this a bit 'off topic' now......buuuuut....what's Vista like, is it worth upgrading? (I've got XP Pro at the moment)

fully kitted out the model comes in at a whopping 1270 polygons (!)

Is that including sub-entities because I always thought there was a limit of about 500?

I think this looks great, and certainly an update of the original. You can see the original Krait in there somewhere - like the new Transformers movie - it's the same but better. I'd like to see your interpretation of the Asp (I'm doing one based on the Millennium Falcon - but Asp shaped )

no, in the end the Anaconda stayed the same size.

Actually, I think those planets were from Giles own code which I don't think he got round to finishing - and that was on the Mac. As for the HUD layout I think that's for the Cobra Mk 2. So you'll have to buy one of them to get it. (It's with the Aegidian's Specials OXP available here - http://wiki....
