1 - Someone mentions Starlancer in other thread.

2 -  Reinstall Starlancer.

3 - Play it.

4 - End up doing model of most badass ship in the game.

5 - ???

6 - Profit.























edit: forgot to say that I did add things to the ship like the engine which oddly it doesnt have one in the game.

Ah! It's nice to finally know where 80% of BP:WiH's stuff was ripped off from!

Nice ship, reminds me of the Vexor (You probably based it on the same ship the Vexor came from.)

[Sarafan]

BP:WiH? Vexor?

It's not BP:WiH's stuff.

Starlancer is pretty much an inspiration for Blue Planet's ships (well the premade packs they used there really.)

And this is the Vexor I mentioned http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/FD_Vexor , It and you ship look like the Pukov.

EDIT: Sorry Droid, I'll correct myself, ahem.

rip off. nice. makes it sound like i ripped the model out of starlancer, slapped a new texture on it and called it my creation and in effect stealing it. when i posted about the first version of the vex i mentioned in the first sentence where the base design originated. http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=47063.msg958722#msg958722. based on or inspired by or even roughly resembling sure.  i can handle being called a lot of things but a "rip off" and thus the implication of theft that term carries with it, not so much.

You won't find these offensive unless you want to. That's EXACTLY what '' exists for.

Nice Ship, I liked StarLancer a lot. StarLancer has had a great way of storytelling, and a really stupid game play. 

Was it difficult to run on Windows 7 / Vista ?

There was once a mod planed on the Freespace Engine, StarLancer the Sol War, no Idea if they still working on it.
It was from a Community that created some FreeLancer mods.

Yeah, if it played more like Freespace, it would've been better. I've installed and am running the game on Win7 32x without problems, unlike other old games SL never gave me too much problem.

Apologies if I offended you Steve-O, I though others would understand that I meant it in jest by using the '' smiley.
I actually have a lot of admiration for your work, I was only trying to poke fun at how close you work was to the originals (which, again, was not necessarily meant as a bad thing.)

Sorry I offended you.

PUTITINGAMENAO!!!

And cloaking Basilisks too  :3



Srsly though Sarafan, is there any way you can import a sketchup file into a good prog like max for skinning?

sketchup supports collada in/exporting so you can shift it to pretty much any prog you want, cant speak for other programs but it seems to spew a ton of useless empties in blender and an of centre export but it is all fixable

I can post the sketchup file if you want.

Tornado Class cruiser, you face a lot of these in the game. Added a turret and torpedo launchers among other things.

And cyclooooone? Srsly, these were firm favourites of mine, alliance caps were UGLY.

Yeah, I was thinking about doing the Cyclone next.

Thanks, although I hope to do them all, the Alliance has only a few ships that are good looking, like the Kestrel and Inteprid, the rest is ugly as hell, the Coalition ships are way, way better although I could never figure it out which way is up on the Cyclone.

Cyclone WIP:

Are those hexagons actual polygons or are they a makeshift texture?  If so, then I don't recommend keeping them on the mesh, as they serve no structural purpose. Instead, you should texture those details onto an image.

Nice job overall; next time please use [lvlshot] instead of [img] for mercy of us who use our smartphones to access HLP.   I changed it in my quote of your prior post.

O.k., now I have no reason any more to not dig out the old disk and install it again

in 2004 I have had some troubles with it on XP: First crashing with the 3D sound enabled and than multiple crashes during loading - but after defraging (the .hog files have been a really mess after installing ) StarLancer worked well.

By the way: Nice work with the Coalition Cap ships.
A StarLancer Mod on the freespace engine would be nice.
