I recall something like this. About three year ago, there was a modeller in this community who started to create a 'realistic Hessian Cruiser' or something along the lines of it - using this kind of engine and rendering.
I think it was massdriver. Pretty sure it was. Wonder if this is his thing.
No, it is not his thing, doesn't look like what he did.
Looks interesting, at least ships do + lights in planet's atmospheres
Looks like a good project but I don't think it gonna be backed with money
they're still importing models from star conflict
not funny
