You mean like "My other ship is a Mosquito Sport"

Oh and don't worry the skin is basic at the moment, I was more concerned people were happy with the colour scheme.

Top image - what I've managed to achieve so far using the Oolite standard nebula effect (better than the standard little fluffy clouds, but only just). Yeah, that's really nice, how do you do it? I want my Oolite to look like that. I think it's a nice subtle effect. I'm not really a fan of the Litt...

working on the textures..........slllloooooowly.


I'm going for the Jawa Sandcrawler look, for the Asp I was thinking more a Millennium Falcon look. What do you all think?

Does anybody know the width x hight x depth measurements of a Cargo Pod?

We’re definitely not going to do anything which involves the Elite universe/ships and taking money. I think what Ahruman is getting at, is that if we did, Mr Braben would close this all down as it goes from fan work (:D) to commercial rip off (:evil:) EDIT: aaaaaaaand whilst I was writting this Cmd...

That's what I was going to say.

It's recessed and has a pseudo 3D texture (which doesn't show up well on the sample).

Recessed is good enough, that's all I really meant, it just didn't look like that from the image so, my bad

Oh very nice. Welcome to the dream team I'd say. One little thing I'd personally like to see is some work done on the cockpit area, I'm not a fan of the flat textured cockpit. Talking of textures though, I really like what you've done. Not over the top in any way. I've actually bought a texture pack...

personally I'd go for Wiki

That HUD, that isn't the same one as the one I downloaded from your signature or have you updated it since...because it looks cool as fudge!

well that's got to be worth doing then hasn't it. I've got Frontier so I'll look in the manual and see how many crew are in each ship. Well we're on the subject of Frontier are there any fave frontier ships you'd all like to see in a frontierships.oxp (although I'm probably getting ahead of myself s...

Would it be too much to ask to scale the model up from what the present Oolite/Elite Anaconda is? To make it as big as the cargo hold size would suggest? :? I'd love to see this project also take another look at the ship sizes and resizing them as necessary... :) It's not a problem at all. I was go...

I read somewhere that the Anaconda has a crew of ten. Is it possible for it to launch between 1-10 escape pods on a death action?

I'm glad you noticed the edges, I think that's the best bit even though it's only a subtle change. I'd love to see your Mamba, I'm a big fan of your work so post it up here....please.

quite right too. I'm not a fan of the new streamlined look either. Anyway....more detail needs adding so let's open up the debate again: Do I add in things like fuel scoops & escape pods (even though the actual ship may not have one). Also on the smaller ships should I put missiles on the outsid...
