Hi, yes, Gibbon PM'd me a while back to ask if he could work on converting this ship pack to work with freelancer, and i'm really happy for him to do so, there's a youtube video somewhere of the coriolis model he's already imported working in game, looks really nice!
edit: oh it's on the page linked to above
All the ships & textures in this shippack have that creative commons licence in them that lets you use them for whatever you want as long as you don't make any money from it, on my box net page linked to on the first page of this thread there's a resources folder that has all the models in obj format and the texture png's seperated from their alpha channels, i can't upload the original photoshop PSD's though since they're huge file sizes as i'm such an untidy worker they often have hundreds of layers in them many with sweary titles so i can find them easier which i'd be mortified if anyone saw

David Braben would have to have gone nuts if he sacked his art dept and used these ships instead, i'd be massivley chuffed though and probably take to wandering the streets in some sort of bejeweled cloak and fancy featherd hat

Glad to hear it wouldn't go to your head!
actually, i'd be surprised to hear DB actually HAS an art department...given that no one seems to have done squat w/ Elive IV in the past decade...
FDL remains the toughest ship to remake ... I'm sort of narrowing down the options here while keeping the shape pretty much the same. That's the real challenge - most people who have tried it have either just repainted it or totally changed the model. I suspect it is that point on top that is the cause of the headaches, the second I get rid of that, it's easy. But if that's gone, is it really an fdl?
BTW: still cannot run Griff's ships at home, Oolite crashes quite hard each time. Something you've done eats intel chips.
As mentioned by Griff, i did ask permission to convert his ships to run in Freelancer (be rude not to really), for a mod i'm making. Nearly all done now so here are some piccies of my progress
