Great job with the turrenting looks awesome how long did that take?
It was kind of a trial and error process; so I wasn't really timing it, but probably at least 24 hours start to finish. It was a very difficult ship to rig firing bones for, but I think it has good coverage (see below for the "schematics" I used).
Also can i ask on a side note, was wondering since many mods havnt tactled this due to difficult skinning and sizeing issues (apart from XWA:upgrade), whether you thought about the MC-40 since its quite a cannoical ship, fitting in with pre BY timeline
I am a fan of the MC40, but you're right, collision meshes on curvy ships are nasty to do.
Very nice, that will be excellent against pesky swarms of Imperial TIE Fighters.
Honestly, it wastes starfighters. I was testing against pirate Rihkxyrks and with the right angle and power to weapons, it could destroy a squadron in 2 laser salvos (4 seconds) - and those are not flimsy ships. The best thing about having all those turrets is that they will target the closest fighter to the turret and not just the ship overall, so there's less wasted firepower.
So it was a Mon Cal design ? Its far less organic looking than most of their other ships.
It's a Mon Cal design, but I think you can definitely see the Quarren influences on it with the spikes and whatnot. My interpretation is that they either stole prototype blueprints and had to complete them, or they further modified the Calamari specs to fit the needs of their battledroids.
Great model, Phoenix. I love the Recusant. I must say, though, that model looks a bit more round than I thought. Wasn't the Recusant more flat? Maybe it was just the view I had of it....
It's probably just the angle... not a great shot, but consistent with the others. Most of the lower hull is hidden from view. I need to do screenshots again, but I've just gone so crazy with changes lately that I haven't made the time.
