Well, if we're B5-ing, we will definitely need a Narn G'Quan-class Heavy Cruiser

We already have an Omega-class destroyer - in-game too (well... sort of).

mandoman, that shape already looks awesome

That's why I remarked that if anyone can make it happen, it's mandoman.. despite his modesty, the guy is King, when it comes to spheres, curves, and unusually-shaped ships in Oolite.

Which, because of the detachable nosecone section, is just crying out for Smivs latest Oo-tech

Hmm, what is this "Oo-tech" you're talking about

See this thread for the exciting details.

And before I forget..

I found the awe-inspiring Millenium Falcon and the Star Destroyer and other cool ships which have been imported from "other realities" to Oolite.

Since you're a Falcon fan, you might find this thread, explaining how to enable the turrets on the player version, and even add a scoop-cam to compensate for the offset cockpit position, of considerable interest.

I once got promised an Orion by a guy named Jagen Ordo, but sadly he disappeared before he delivered.

I wouldn't mind someone else picking up the idea.

I had the idea to do this some time ago... I got distracted by wikipedia trivia. Did you know the fabolous bridge set was destroyed because nobody cared back then?

… like so many other things. Think about the common BBC practice of re-using tapes of shows once they were aired …

So, do you have a better ressource site than a quick google search would bring up?

No resource site at all. It wasn't too hard to find the picture for my avatar, because it only needed to be 100 pixels wide, so I never looked further.

Perhaps you should contact him.. he still hangs out on his deviantart page, and he did say it was ready before he disappeared..

Alright, Orion model is complete, just needs a texture.
But seeing that the original was just different greys, I should be able to do it.
Seeing that Oosat2 doesn't seem to be the site of choice anymore, where (and how) should I upload stuff?

Edit: He's used the model in some of his art, so it is finished.. you should send him a reminder..

Since I read the Orion post, I decided to have a go at a model. I've finished a shape and put the hard lines in the right place - opinions? If it's acceptable I'll start chopping it up for texturing.

Awe, gee, shucks. Does that mean I should keep working on it? It's a pretty cool ship, for sure.

I think you might have to deal with a rather upset GGShinobi if you didn't

Thanks for the link! I have to admit I cheated myself a Falcon-S which I use for testing purposes hehe, and I had already fixed the gun turrets. But I've overlooked the scoop cam! Hmm.. unfortunately I can't use external views because I'm using that mean [wiki]Sniper Camera System HUD[/wiki] But I made the modifications to the shipdata.plist anyway, so I'll at least to check it out! Thanks!

No-one? Did I imagine I posted a question??

There is a workaround.. Wildeblood's "HUD Vanisher". With it installed, your external views are usable again. It's been withdrawn, pending updating, but I'll PM you a link.

Perhaps you should wait for Commander McLane to log in again, since it was his request..

Yeah, but no-one else wants to comment?? On THIS forum?

Maybe it's because we're polite - "if there's nothing positive to say, don't say anything and hope he vanished back into the swamp..."
