There might not be any fancy nebulae being shown, but here's two shots from a recent test:



The Balius is done save for adding in the subsystems and some last texture tweaks. The turrets are all fully functional and give the ship a plethora of anti-fighter and bomber defenses which put an Aeolus to shame.



The Yaaru is finished except for shield icons and interface art, some minor texture detailing might be done however as well. It's beam cannon does work, though you'll have to wait a bit before I show off that effect

Overall, the mods that are going to impress you will be done after X-Mas.

An interesting little thing on the Yaaru though, it uses bomber AI for it's various turret defenses. But when this AI is given a ship with fighter capacity and the AI set on high levels, it loves doing dives on capital ships.

However with fighter speeds, it uses it to dodge opponents instead of attacking the ship, which leads to some interesting battles

Orion blue is too heavy, and it's supposed to have some of the feel of the Orion so a pure Grey wouldn't work well. (I did however do up a great Grey scheme for it, but it didn't feel right)



I think this works well, since it has some blue, while being a lighter color then the Orion.

That looks pretty good. Reminds me of an Aeolus.

Well considering that FS2 is a Fighter based game, people should pay more attention to hangers and there greatness.

First I want to get the Twilight re-release handled. (hrmm... time to bug Steak on the cbs and see if I can convince IceFiar to do a few new backgrounds... )

Then mid-january or so work on the new site will begin, since a lot of the good mods will be converted then *cough* Bozrah....

I love the idea of a light carrier. More mods should have something like these.

Yes - specifically, to toss Zeronet out into if he mentions hangars one more time!
