Strike Craft Look

June 3, 2009 10:19:19 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

This is one for the creators. How come the fighter strike craft for the TEC didn't change. One of the things I noticed when I bought Entrechment is all the strike craft got a new look exept the TEC fighters. Why didn't they change and the others did, you did a good gob on the bombers though.

Really, my only complaint at all about them is that they're bigger than the bombers, which is mildly offputting given the bomber proportions suggest they should be bigger.

That is actually my main thing about it is how much bigger they are. The relation ship in size of the two should be like a B-2 to a F-14, not a Su-25 to a F-117.( look them up, you'll get what I mean)

I'm not so fussed about the realworld proportions, really. It's more that the bomber model looks bigger - compare their cockpit sizes, and the way that the fighter looks much more 'solid' - there's currently vastly less volume in the bomber than the fighter, making it awfully petite.

Don't get me wrong, I love the model. It's more that the fighter dwarfs it in 'scale' at the moment.

pick up the Mesh Resize tool of http://sin.imperial.cc, the Star Wars Requiem site. You'll need to go under the modding section of the site's forums.

Then download it, a measly 40 kb file (and it's zipped, so it's smaller than that), and resize the bomber mesh to your liking.

Note- when using the resize tool, the value '1' is the models standard size. Think of decimals as percentages. If you want the mesh two or three times as big, just use the slider to get that number.

Sins was released before it was technically done. The "beta release" of entrenchment is where the game finally came together. TEC fighters I think were the only strikecraft that were done completely when they released the original sins. I definitely know Advent fighters/bombers weren't.

I guess giving the TEC the most badass looking bomber isn't enough eh?

well, I think that in terms of size proportion, the TEC bomber should be a bit bigger.

It doesn't bug me too badly, but I like how they look like B-2s. Definitely beats the Advent bombers out.
