Heh. My Aunt actually has some old photos of a shuttle ridding piggy-back from when one such arrangement took a pit stop at Kelly AFB for a while. I remember my mom taking me out to the outskirts of the airfield just so we could get a distant look at it. I was about four or five at the time.
Probably a silly question, considering TSAB and the Roughriders, but does anyone in Fenspace fly an
F/A-18E?

No, not really. I would think they'd be tough to get ahold of, even post OGJ.

As we know from experience getting a live-sized model made from plastic/wood/metal and a lot of Handwavium might be easily enough to get a space capable F/A-18.

I'm a bit surprised no one's thought of waving the F-104, myself. It is, after all, called the
Starfighter.
Oh God, my brain....:
"Nice jet. Very classic."
"Thanks. It's the last one that could still fly."
"Impressive. So, what brings you up to the Fenspace?"
"Well ... you could say I was recruited by the Star League to defend the frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan Empire."
"... Well, I can't say I didn't ask for it."
"No, no you can't."

OH HELL YEAH. Ben will personally deliver a signed invitation for this person to join the Roughriders.
So long as we're talking fighter jets, does anybody else think the F-14 Tomcat is the right place to start if you want a Transformer frame or a Valkyrie-style transforming fightercraft? It's already variable-geometry...

And
Skull Squadron does exist. (Probably showing my anime history there; I always think "Robotech" instead of "Macross.")

For this thread, if you want a particular jet, make sure you can point me at a mesh for it...
Quick look through ShareCG for attack aircraft:
Anything else, you'll have to post the link for.
(Or, of course, you could spin this off into another thread...)

Uhm, yes.
GSS has already done this, with the passive connivance of the US gov't. (Mostly consisting of the words, "Don't get caught", followed by a running gunfight with Iranian thieves in the boneyard.)

I knew I remembered that from somewhere ( the original convention thread maybe?), but I don't think it made it to the wiki. Glad to know I'm not delusional. Or at least in good company.

On a related model note, since I'm unable to figure out how to unwrap the Gagarin model for UV mapping, I'm putting it up for anybody else to take a whack
here. Have fun.

That Gally one is epic, especially the lips. They get it just right.

Who's using Blender or 3DStudio, and needs a bridge or control room?

Which begs the question - do the

He's
been busy (and, with this number of releases, he has to be converting existing models rather than making his own) -
B5 Babylon 5 and Warlock,
Stargate Stargate, Goa'uld Ha'tak Mothership, and Death Glider,
oBSG Cylon Base Star and Cylon Raider,
nBSG Battlestar Pegasus, Viper, and Cylon Raider, and
Space:1999 Eagle, Hawk, and Moonbase Alpha.
So... we still haven't provided any sort of description to the frakkin' toasters' station at L5, something the size of a Base Star won't be very fast with a Fenspace 'waved drive, and we now have a Base Star model... Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

What do you think about creating a single "Fenspace rendering/graphics" thread? Having multiple of them is not optimal...
