What has the GTVI done to Ulysses S. Grant?!

The GTVI's special operations Ulysses class fighter with more reactor and shielding capacity as well as flare baffles and radar dampening sheath.

The mesh has been slightly modified by me. (bulkier mid-section, flare baffles which you'll love the effect) The skin I can't take credit for, but I did modify a bit for the new mesh. (originally for just a Ulysses reskin) Let's just say the guy who did the skin is a certain recluse who made the Golgotha. There are a few things the public hasn't seen yet such as this which will be in the re-release of Twilight. (the GTVI Ulysses won't be in it though)

I do know what it's actually named after

Yeah, I did some creative UV mapping and tweaks to get the skin to work on the bulkier model. (the underside is plaid!!! j/k)

Anyhow, for those who complained in the original Twilight that the artificial node generators were contained in regular cargo and had no imagination, you'll see a very nice generator array model.

More portable then the Charon, but much... much... bad ju ju...

Yep this is a Fighter. Quite a good one, "Mega Extremely good" texturing among other things.

*cough* Anyhow, do you want the Gateway portal converted? It wasn't exactly a priority, but I can see what I can do.....

I like the Gateway, and there are some places where it would fit in well, so sure.

Of course getting the Tyr converted, Balius fixed, and that Damocles idea I think are higher priorities in the list of the Tyrant Ace's Things to Do (TATtD)

What new ships, other than the Ceres and Apollo, will there be in the Re-release?

Are you going to include the GTD Toloman in the tbl. file as well. If so, are you going to give it and the apollo an entry this time?

Posted by Ace on 12-18-2001 02:42 AM:

Ceres? I think that's one of Bobboau's mods

The Creon with a new look is in the re-release same with the Apollo.

The Toloman class won't be seen in the campaign though there will be some interesting ships. (reskins, even high quality ones really don't shine in the face of some of the new toys)

The only one I should be worrying about right now is the Damocles. All the rest are outta my hands.

Uh, found out who's in Grant's tomb?

Azrael, this ship will be with the final release of tBE.

Death black? No problemo

Bwah ha ha! Arti...

Also I might as well spill it, the most terrifying weapon in tBE isn't fielded on some juggernaut like the Semnai or Bozrah, but it's definately nasty

The most terrifying weapon of tBE is a picture of Ace in the background. The Shivans ph33r it, the Terrans ph33r it, and the Vasudan's are happy that they have headz!

Posted by Ace on 12-20-2001 07:00 AM:

Err.. actually it's a picture of Thunder

Aww, shucks! Well, at least the Bozrah looks the part - she'd scare the pants of me - especially if you substituted her for that Sathanas in the "Dive dive dive! Hit your burners, pilots!" mission.
