I'd love to see it... in trash, removed and burnt. It's not really used, nor it's considered effective in any way. Changing model won't change anything.

I don't know what you mean. The Dacite is an amazing ship to have on mining ops, as I fly it personally. If you set it up correctly, its the best intercept ship and hull smasher around.

grou - since you started defining a style for the mafic - it might be entirely up to you to keep that style for the other mining vessels.
the only important aspect being - once you have the cmp/mat/sur/shiparch/goods/cockpit files - do not forget to upload them

about style-yes i'm planning to bring it to those two ships-dactie and basalt

rignt now - frozen has taken care of models - once you re really finished with them - you should try to contact him. can t tell if they can still be included into 4.86 or not - cause if things keep dripping in - 4.86 will never be "ready" - so a deadline has to be drawn ( well, it was drawn - some months ago )

also i am thinking about upgrading some classes of equipment (shild or/and guns) of dactie / basalt to make them a little bit more popular

and one more, jinx, do you know how to make right 3db icon of ship?
Dactie v2 - Jinx - 10-30-2010
yes - i know how to - or at least i have made several.... but it some time ago.
in general...
- you need to make a tga or dds skin piece
- apply it to a simple one sided square face
- save it as a 3db of some specific size etc ( don t really remember the exact values required - frozen might know it )
its quite easily and quickly done - takes about a minute if you have the steps in mind.
about altering the models too much
its problematic - a simple replace usually tries to keep the rough shape / size of the previous model - hence making the re-balance easy. - if you change it too much - a full re-balance must be applied, which means .... it takes time.
the mafic you made is a nice mini miner or something - but it is not the mafic - and so it will probably not keep the mafic stats ( or in other words - it may not be a replacement at all, cause it does not replace the mafics role )
when you make replacements - really try to stick to the currents roles - thats easiest to deal with. you can always revise them models ( in looks and stats ) later on.
