[WIP] X2 Mercury

[aurumgallente]

I work on porting X2 Mercury to X4. It will be M Argon or ANT medium cargo transporter without turrets. So far I took as a base for my ship ship_arg_m_bomber_01 (Minotaur) because it's a single M ship with elevator that can be properly exported from Blender 2.8, others have a Expected attribute "texcoord" at element "texture" error when I try to convert exported dae file even if I didn't change anything.
Here is a model. Thanks to Zenon-mk7 for exporting it from X2.

Models in X2 consist of many parts and it is very difficult to add them to the ship one by one so I had to combine them into one and bake a single texture. Then I detached a glass and removed small cube inside cockpit. Next step will be to move Minotaur's cockpit into X2 Mercury cockpit and create entry to the ship.
EDIT
Here is 1.0 version of this mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 2256456317

For now it looks like this. I moved lights and thrusters according to new geometry, next step will be to handle cockpit and ramp.

Hey that's great! Never thought I would see an X2 ship again in X4. Please keep up the good work!

Here is some intermediate result. Thanks to BrummBear for some parts of his ship and permission to reuse it.
