Battleship update

I captured a battleship last night and noticed it was almost unchanged from the 2003 version, so some of the battleships are getting a face lift.

Wow, that's quite a bit more ropes! That first picture does indeed look quite barren.
 
Methinks I could learn to like this ship, but it seems the Padre has his problems..........

It seems I won't be able to do all I want to because the hull GM of this series has the "model can not be read" bug. This mainly affects the main sails and lateen.

Nice to see the old girl getting some love. :cheers

Shame about the dodgy normals along the side of the hull, though (as with many other ships). You can clearly see patches around the gunports where the lighting is uneven.
That's an easy fix in Maya, but there are lots of models affected.
 
Here are two newer WIP pics. There are 6 battleships and only the Belette and this one have hulls I can modify, so if you see anything to change now is the time to speak up. I'm trying to get the mainsails down better now.

That looks pretty good to me. :onya
 
Too late. I lowered the anchors and then lowered the mains. That made the staysails look tiny so I made them bigger. Now to adjust everything again.

Done.

I berthed Big Bertha Battleship and hopped into a Fragata Latina. Naturally she is a mess with lateens pointing in the wrong direction. :facepalm
 
Just want to check.... This is already correctly included in the current Build 14 Beta 3.3 WIP version, right?
 
Looks like they are indeed included; I see files edited on Oct 23rd 2014 in there. So I think we're good. :woot
