The great work continues!
A question: ships are to scale with the other ships in the same picture, but are they also to scale across pics? IE, if you stitched all of them together would the result still be true scale? It doesn't look like it, but I might be wrong.
The glow textures don't have any bloom either, so I think he's doing it with a modeling program.

It doesn't look like it to me either. The paranid nemmy definitely doesn't have it. I don't think the nova does either, it's just the style of texture combined with a high detail model.Dave Toome wrote:But is there bump mapping present ?

Cheap? That, my friend, is how modeling works in the game industry. Building every model up from scratch is way too much damn work. For a free "expansion", I'm pretty satisfied.dalin80 wrote:never realised before how cheap a modelling job the lx was, turn the l over a tad and mirror bingo new ship.
In the original two games, X-BTF and X-Tension, the different fighter 'classes' were explained to be older versus newer. I recall 'Betty' explaining how the new Elite was superseding the older Buster and even older Discoverer. The Elite, btw, was the predecessor to the Nova. And in scale, the X-T Disco was actually larger than the Elite. It's only since X2 that the ship classes have morphed into 'Light', 'Medium', and 'Heavy' fighters, although I think that some of Betty's descriptions still refer to the 'old vs new' categories.Tenlar Scarflame wrote:I'd argue that the size of the Discoverer is due to the added fuel and engine space needed for it to go so fast.......
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

I first noticed something wierd about ship sizes when I docked an Eclipse and a Medusa at my new Yatch/Hyperion.....
the Eclipse is at least twice the size of the Medusa, yet has basically same storgage capacity - it looks like it should be able to have a cargo bay of at least 500 or something ...
Then when I docked an Orca at my PHQ which also had a Mammoth there, the Mammoth has the largest cargo space of all TL's yet it looks like a dwarf next to the Orca which has less space...
the scale of ships seem contradictory to their cargo capacity...
by the way, I really think the Eclipse is the ugliest ship in X3 - it looks like something baked in an oven which went wrong ... like a lumpy pasty or something (albiet a beutiful shiny, lumpy, ugly pasty...).

Well, if everyone else is going to say something...
I still can't figure out how a pilot in the Boron Barracuda could actually see anything. It looks like the cockpit canopy is facing backwards! Nevertheless, I'd like to find a poster place and print out a high-res compilation of all the ships. Or even better, a movie screen with a squadron of Pirate Nova Raiders - Oooo, I just got chills!

Good God.
Note to the OP; please use another image host like photobucket.com. I just had to force quit firefox because of violent advertorial pop ups about some obvious malware which urged me again and again to scan my pc when I opened the Paranid ship pic (after having opened the Argon pic first). Imagevenue for the loss. They obviously abuse their clients by this kind of harmful spam. Find a better host mate. Seriously.
