Alright, enough teasing. You shall get what you desire!


Aother model based on an ANCIENT comic drawing I made sometime last century.
The Predator was the ESS' first line-produced star destroyer to create the backbone of royal fleet. With a length of over two kilometers the Predator clearly surpasses its imperial cousin, the Imperator I and II-class in both size and sheer power.<P>Like allways, you can get this OPT from your local <A HREF="http://www.bluephantom.de" TARGET=_blank>X-Wing HQ</A><P>Now, enjoy some random images =D

By all means, if you see a need then fill it by grabbing a copy of a 3D program - there's a new posintg about one <A HREF="http://www.xwaupgrade.com/ubbcgi/ultima ... 9&t=001361" TARGET=_blank>here</A><P>There's plenty of programs (irfanview) for texturing or even texturers who might want to collorate with you.<P>Then opt them using the tools and pump them out one after another...who knows you might even have fun trying your hand at it ;)

Attention: <P>There's an issue on the model which I hadn't discovered before (once again, kodos to Dragon ;)). It's a hitzone in the rear part of the ship that, if you hit it right, makes the game crash.<P>I've managed to reduce that 'target area', but I'll need some more minutes to totally get rid of the issue. Please be patient!

I'm stunned.<P>See, the "official" GT Fan Club ain't nothin', because once a day I turn towards the East and <B>pray</B> to the uber Konstrukteur, and I've been doing that for <B>years</B> already. I'm about to open a <I>church</I> in Vince's name, and believe me, you can't imagine the building code hassles I've been getting from the construction inspector. :D<p>[ 11 August 2007: Message edited by: Kyle ]

That's to throw off enemy agents. Not a mistake.
