Proposed Replacement for current Dodo model
The Dodo models are in the future dev thread.
http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/forum ... sc&start=0
Here are the renders I forgot.:
COMPARE NEW MODEL'S WITH OLD'S TOP VIEW
Hence, my suggestion on naming this Skate, instead of Dodo. Cargo's supposed to be removable. Can't figure out how to do that ingame, however,
Any help on this and the new Probe model too?

Well, looks nice.
But if you rename it give it the name of an animal. Apart from the Clyde all cargo ships have animals' names as Llama, Mule, Ox. Never really understood why a dodo has more cargo space than a Llama, so perhaps it could be renamed to camel or something a stronger than a llama but weaker than a mule...

Skate IS an animal.
It's a ray. Or is it the other way around.
It's a Dgn/Shaper ship. And as there doesn't seem to be a naming system for Dgns, I propose basing it on fish.

You know, when I posted this I really thought: Shouldn't I look "Skate" up in a dictionary... would've been better I guess.
So, then I guess it is an appropriate name.
Sorry.

well i must admit that i like the new dodo model , but i would seriously think abut removing the "BFG" , big front gun, it looks very strange, since the shiop is a transporter it isint meant for dogfighting , and since the gun looks fixed position ( forgive me my bad english ) it probably would be quite useless in fighting, and one more thing i would add some polys to the cockpit glass. but i find this model very interesting nevertheless.

yesss, ssso uglysss, sso nastysss, i hatesss it(sss).
please add it to 0.50(sss)!
couldn't wait clashing a bunch of these with my plasssmasss!
as for the ugly textures, I think it should be enought if the actual will be rusted a bit, with the adding of those old bad stripes, of course!

@To Megatherion and loki:
Sorry. I'm not a native speaker myself. But we do speak a lot of english here in the Philippines. I mean a LOT. Our native languages are too long (and too crappy-sounding besides, ) to be respected as a commercial language. Basically, here, to sound respectable and intelligent, talk,write,etc. in english. And I agree. I hate our own national language. Philippines (aside from India, which has the King's English accent , and Singapore with it's mixed affluent population. Of course excluding polynesian nations.)is one of the few Asian countries with a significant percentage of the population that can speak and understand english well. And don't worry, I love the sound of foreign languages. I tried to learn deutsche once, but gave up. As I did with francais, espanol, & italiano. I'm now content watching foreign european films, having to read the subtitles. which is a drag.
@rigelan:
I did not know that.
@Halleck:
@ergo and klauss:thanks and it is indeed the tractor beam.
@GALex:
my precioussss?
I'm redoing the mesh, taking in JackS suggestions. But still can't make the mesher work for me. WHY?!!! (weeps pitifully on the keyboard. sighs. wipes tears away with the mouse dust cover, and blows nose on the mousepad.) I can't test my own models. And I'm sooo aloone. Mom? Dad? Where are you?
(Screen fades into blackness)
THE END
Will post my mesher problems in another thread later.
BTW: As of now, It remains officially, the DODO.

@Halleck:
umm.. they're all the same model. The one with the "neck" is just empty. The others have cargo attached. Am still improving it, so textures will definitely be ugly.Cool! I like the stubby one without the "neck", very reminiscent of the dodo/wayfarer. You could make the texture a bit uglier though, try bringing back those rusty stripes.

Yes, I realized this after making the post.
I guess then, what I should have said is "I prefer it without any cargo at all". Looks similar to the dodo that way.
Good to hear that it will be getting uglier soon.
As for mesher... have you tried the latest one from svn? I'm still having a few problems with it, but it was able to convert most of strangelet's models. Please do make a thread about it so we can assist you.

@oblivion.
I'm quite able with conversions. had successfully converted from 3ds-obj-blender-lwo-ndo-wings-dxf to xmesh.
let me have your model (whatever the format) and i'll try to convert it to bfxm.
you can pm me, i will re-pm you the converted one(s).

You know those birds that drop stones on eggs? They pick up stones and fly high up in the air, drop the stones on an egg to break it? The look of this dodo resembles that bird, somehow. I don't know the name of the bird, but maybe it could have the same name? Dodo is a quite lame name for a ship, me thinks, since a dodo can't fly... Like the kiwi. (I know there is a kiwi ship planned)
