It's this time of the year again and Santa Vince has got some goodies for y'all!

Vanguard-class Frigate v1.1
It's been exactly 10 years to the date since I've originally released this model as the last of my custom Star Destroyer models. Well now it'll be the first in a line of updated releases. While the model itself is mostly the same it has received a number of updates and improvements:
- Combined separate hull textures into HD maps
- Numerous other texture improvements such as toning down some too noisy panel lines, adjusting the number and size of windows to a realistical level
- Added a reactor bulb
- Replaced the old engines with new ones, borrowed from the Victory Star Destroyer
- Removed one gun turret from a really weid position below the bridge
- Added missing hangar hardpoints
- Added .ini and .mat files
- Added a LOD!

Along with this release I have also started updating my other models, improving textures and fixing bugs. And new releases are to follow in the coming weeks and months. My priority here lies with making the previously released models available again, while working on the actual HD remakes which will come at a later point.

You can check out more screens and get your hands on the new OPT Right Here!


Blue Phantom Chronicles Wiki Update
I have finally managed to get the rough lore structure for the BPC Section done. You'll find new entries under the Blue Phantom Menu now giving you access to starships, Characters, Organizations, Locations and more. I will be continuously adding new content to the various entries on a (hopefully) weekly basis so be sure to keep an eye out for new content :)

That's all, now get out there and have fun!
