Still, I'm enjoying this, so we'll see if it ever gets finished - you know what I'm like. This sets them apart from the 'space fantasy' craft like (TOS) Galacticas Vipers or Star Wars X-Wings. Small, agile, and armed to the teeth, they were created with a realistic eye towards the demands of space combat. I prefer painting these days, it's less like hard work and more like fun. Not a bad motto for one of sci-fi TVs most recognizable ships, the SA-23 Starfury from Babylon 5. This is the first 3D model I've concentrated on in ages. It'll also allow me to give people the option of having a smaller download that doesn't make their PC choke In 2259, five Earthforce troop transports and one Nova class dreadnought arrived at Babylon 5. If I release it publicly, I'm hoping that Orbiter handles LOD models one way or another so that I can make some severly chopped down versions for when it's not filling the screen. The Earthforce troop transport was a type of military transport used by the Earthforce Marine Corps, capable of both atmospheric manoeuvring and limited space travel. This is about three times as many polys as I'd normally allow for a realtime model but I've wanted to model one of these buggers for absolutely years so I'm being naughty and indulging myself.

Atmo Ready with Deployable Airfoils, weighing over 128Tons watch your fuel gauge back up ice on board. This mesh is largely finished - aside from some smoothing issues - and currently stands at 11,500 triangles. Babylon 5's Starfury makes a great fighter design for SE for its practical design in the show having a multi vector thrust layout. Strewth! When did we stop just calling them Starfuries?Īnyway, after having done an (admittedly brief) trawl of the Orbiter addon download site, I only found the later (and frankly nowhere near as cool) Thunderbolt so I decided to have a go myself. Mitchell-Hyundine SA-23 Aurora class 'StarFury' 'have you fixed thos bugs yet? have you fixed thos bugs yet? have you fixed.'
