' Wrote:First note: Is that a baby Hegemon? Eugh, I don't really like that as a Mafic replace, make it a smaller version of the Hegemon maybe? Like around 1400 cargo, transport guns/shields. Viola, a mining transport that ain't the broadside of a barn!:)It's a great model, don't get me wrong, but I just don't see this as a fighter model..
And yes, while that thread you linked Corsair is indeed helpful, it's one of Jinx's, and pretty much every older thread of their's has no pics in it... :|
its a super heavy MINER, not as much fighter.
(unortunatly jinx's works has no images :| )
and about its style, you know i just ruled by a miners style (i planned to make something like that with basalt and dactie)
and it looks like in vanilla.
yeh, i know that it looks like train-my bad, but still its miner, its job is smashing rocks (that big automated hand on rails)...
but guys, when i compared it to current mafic, i saw that my modell is just thinner.
ok, so what do you want to see-miner or fighter?
if fighter-i can do fighterlike look dactie, but, meh, this is a miner, it must be like miner....
oh well ok.
your opinions are important for me, because i making ships which YOU want to see ingame.
please any suggestions are welcome, feel free to write and ask.
ill remake mafic if you want, but i need to know how itll look like.
please write about it, ill be waiting
(also dont forget to write about basalt and dactie)
It looks fantastic as a miner and all, don't get me wrong, it's just not the same ship that I've pirated, hunted, mined, and explored with. The versatility is going to be lost. That's not to say this doesn't look like a first class mining ship, because it does.

Pirating on mining ship?
Ok, you are right, this ship is only for mining.
If you want to explore, i can make great dactie-fighter
I've seen the ol' Mafic used for everything from bounty hunting to, yes, pirating. I personally own five. Their versatility and their very name (maaaafick) is what I find endearing. The ability to mount a snac and a ton of debbies makes them perfect for de-shielding whatever graces your sights, and the placement of the torp slot provides for impeccable aim. And have you seen it's powercore? True, they can't use a CD if you have a SNAC on it, but with fighter support, this is a force to be reckoned with. The only thing it can't do well is dodge.
See, I know that you've the Mafic's best intentions at heart, and I thank you for it, but this isn't the swiss army knife that I've come to love above all others. It's a beautiful mining ship, but not my MAAAAAFICK!
If you ever see LR-Tasty.Treat about, come have a look, and you'll see how well it pirates. It's so named because it's a pleasure to fly.
to make windows not being affected by the ambient light ( or what you may call - illuminated ) - you need the UTF editor.
steps to take:
1 - upload the .mat file in the UTF editor
2 - search for the specific texture that is assigned to the windows ( usually you may have named it "windows" )
3 - add 3 nodes to the main node
3.1 - call them Ec, Et_flags and Et_name
4 - Ec is the level of permanent ambient light or whatever - you will need to add :
1.000000
1.000000
1.000000
0.000000
RGB ( red, green, blue )
5 - Et_flags is something else - dunno what exactly, but you ll need to add the following values:
0.000000
0.000000
6 - Et_name is the specific identification of that skinfile. it should be unique! - if you apply values present on the server already, you may end up with mismatched mat/cmp files - so - use a high and random number that is most unlikely to already exist. - like:
977.520325
0.000003
26684129533345223000000.000000
0.000003
7 - you re done now .... your windows will now be illuminated. if you have several illuminated parts - you need to do it for each part
ok, windows are working (but ill update mat file with _selfillum texture)
*sigh*
now the last problem is hitbox...
i made it , put it, but i think i missed name of group or something like that , so now it does not work at all...just need some time to fix it and then ill make hardpoints and correct code for shiparch.
as i promised, when ill finish, ill record a video of my ship in action
