if it wasn't for the poly count I'd replace my own in a second with this beauty, I look forwards to seeing this hit the screenshot thread.
#2 pepperman 2009-04-03 17:58
unfortunately, the poly count is high. i have thought about trying to reduce it but just haven't had the energy to do so.
#3 Avon 2009-04-04 02:13
Love this ship. Both, this one, and Achilles' version are good. I'll be using them both in my instal.


Any chance of you releasing the rest of your Rommies Pepperman? Even the high poly ones? I found a couple on Battleclinic (I think it was), but there are still a couple I saw in your last POTD that I would like to get my hands on ;-)
#4 Tazuren 2009-04-04 04:26
Any chance of this getting over to A2?
#5 pepperman 2009-04-04 07:26
k_merse has alreadt made this one available for the A2 community some time ago and did a mighty fine job of it. :-)

There is always hope Avon. Keep you eyes on Achilles AOW mod as one of them might just show up there

@Pepperman: Ah sweet. Once I find my A2 disk, I'll get it as an escort for the S'Faret class warbird.
