Updated transport (right) and destroyer (left). @boshimi336 the transport now resembles the ambassador's ship more closely, I hope you like it.

Hael-sose,

Looking great! Thanks, the addition of Vorlon models will really help.

Thanks Darvroth!

You mentioned captital ship abilities; I still have some work to do on a vorlon siege and carrier. If there's any abilities I can incorporate visually, please let me know.

Hael I'm really liking them so far.

Vorlon Drone ingame

I have no models to contribute but my hat is off to the coordination coup that you pulled off. Any little work of mine I freely share with the X3TC B5 mod team.

Edit: Almost forgot to add, sick models, nearly as exciting as when you figured out the Omega rotating section. Please tell me the Vorlon models have the characteristic pulsing across the skin?

Sharing is fine, I'm all for it. Amras is a nice chap indeed.

@TobiWahn, now I know what those rings were for from your earlier picture Do the fighters really connect/disconnect from those rings? That would be awesome; didn't know that was possible.

Well I'll just image that then, no worries, the concept is great in itself. Too bad we can't alter such aspects of the engine itself haha.

TobiWahn,

Another DB issue...in periodic actions actionCountType and InstantActionConditionType should be separate and selectable for each buff applied, currently there is a single of each that applies for all secondary buffs being called in the initial buff. I'll see if I can work around it. If not I'll adapt to what I can do.

Yes, sadly that is so, there is no difference between a frigate or a cruiser as far as the game is concerned. Even the corvette is just a frigate with an additional setting. That does not mean there can't be significant differences in model size and general toughness and weapon layout of the entity file. Current in-game Vorlon/Shadow "frigate" entity files and role type:

                                                                                     Shadow Carrier (Heavy cruiser/carrier)

Vorlon Destroyer (heavy cruiser)                                      Shadow Stalker (medium cruiser)

Vorlon Siege destroyer (siege cruiser)                               Shadow Siege Stalker (siege cruiser)

Vorlon Drone (light corvette/scout)                                  Shadow Assassin (corvette)

Vorlon Heavy drone (light frigate)                                    Shadow Scout (destroyer/scout)

Vorlon Transport (utility frigate, various abilities)             

Vorlon Envoy (diplomatic)                                               Shadow Envoy (diplomatic)

Vorlon Life Giver (frigate colony, utility)                            Shadow Seeder (colony ship - seed is technically a frigate)

Vorlon Module constructor (builder of planet modules)       Shadow Module Constructor (builder of planet modules)

Future - soon to be implemented frigates.

Vorlon Flagship (Victory condition frigate, unique role)       Shadow Flagship (Victory condition frigate, unique role)

The Light Cruiser and Heavy Cruiser are the Vorlon Capital ships and by scale are substantially larger than the largest frigate. The Vorlon Titan is much larger still. TobiWahn has tried to the extent the game will allow to keep all models in relative scale to each other.

The Shadow have analogs except for the Shadow Carrier that is tougher and more dangerous than most younger races capital ships, but not as tough as the Elder races capital ships. It is very hard to balance the Elder race capital ships. The frigates are reasonably balanced except for the Shadow carrier, I'm still not sure if it is assigned an appropriate log points. The Vorlon Transport has no Shadow equivalent.

Wonderfull! I just hope we can get all the models done in time!

Meanwhile..

Guess who's coming for dinner?

Nice model, if only the engine allowed for destroying planets.....
