Yeah, the paintjob does look nice. And the ship looks meaner than I remember it, too. I like.

Good God, man. You're amazing.

It's times like these when I wish I had any semblance of skill with modeling :)

No worries man; I don't think people will fault you for trying to provide a really cool thing to the community!

I'm good to wait; take your time. I know how slow stuff can go sometimes :)

R-Type is an oldschool side-scrolling shooter from the 80's, I think it originated for the Nintendo but I could be mistaken on my video game history.

Man, I love that thing.

As always, they look great! Can't wait to see the fighters :D

If I recall correctly (not that I'm advocating it) but if you shoot down the ships that sometimes are flying around the Tiger's Claw when you take off/land, you get those kills added to your total. Could be wrong about that, though.

Personally, I thought the gear flexing was really great. I love those added details that just make animations seem all the more "real".

Dude, you rock. When you're done with this one, I vote for a Raptor! ::grin::

The Space Force and Space Navy have two distinct rank structures; Blair changed over from one to the other when he got the Commodore promotion. I think the Kilrathi Saga manual has the layout of ranks for both military bodies.

Wow, nice.

Well, the Sabre has the definate edge over the T-Bolt in maneuverability, but I'd take the T-Bolt any day of the week. Sabre's shields are way too paper thin for me.

I forgot about the Johann mission. Yeah, those 4 Rapiers are definately a bear.

The very last mission of Special Operations 1, where you have to kill the two Fralatha in the wow-that's-a-lot-of-torpedoes-on-my-fighter Sabre is pretty tough, at least for me. They're really good at aiming those Anti-Matter guns, and the Sabre's shields don't withstand too many hits; if you...

Wing Commander 1 - Defend the Ralari mission (Kursawa Mission 2); 4 Salthi in the asteroid belt, and then 4 Gratha attacking the Ralari. Easy with a slow processor (i.e. 12 MHz), freakin' impossible with a fast one (50MHz and up). I dunno how anyone beats it anymore; I certainly can't.

As much fun as nailing the Dralthi's were with a Raptor, the one-shot-to-the-engines-kill on a Salthi was even sweeter ::grin::

Very nice!
