Never had a problem with tinypic so far, and yes those are direct links, they are working for me so i dunno.

That BTL looks nice, can you do a BTL-B too?

Made a few changes to the fighter model, noticed some issues not working good in the front of the ship. Added some reflection on the materials also. Looks more realistic that way. Updated the links for it too.

Thanks, although I have spotted some mistakes on it and fixed them. Even so it's a rather simplistic model. BTL-B sounds good, I'll give it a try when I have enough time.

Changed the transport again, dragon head didn't quite look that good so this is the last change I'm making to it ( i hope). Named it Predator, cause the head kinda resembles one, I think.
Next update I'll make will be with the BTL-B as soon as I get some me time.

If the freighter model in question has been made for submission to the mod, it cannot be accepted, as the Dev team's policy is not to permit imported content. That is, existing designs from taken from outside of the Freelancer universe are not suitable. This freighter is clearly an adaptation of the Y-Wing from Star Wars, which puts it into that category. (That said, you've done a nice job of the model.)

Regarding the transport; you've gone a bit overboard with all of rods at the front. It just seems busy to me without addiing interest to the design. Also, consider that there's not a lot of room to mount turrets on the ship, except for the underside (or topside if you change your perspective). Lastly, why do the engines connect directly to the rear cargo compartment? I would suggest a connecting segment similar to the link between the fore/bridge and the front cargo blocks.

I made the BTL only because Twaddle reminded me of it, never considered submitting it to the mod, I basically like how it looks being the main reason. Even though I'm not new to modeling, this are my firsts attempts to model spaceships so I lack experience in that regard. I didn't start this thread because I want to submit these ships to the mod, not yet anyway. I'm just trying things out, looking for community reactions and opinions see what sticks and what doesn't and then, maybe later on, submit some models if they are thought worthy enough.
Regarding the transport, indeed I agree, I overdid it with those things. Looked cool in my head though, but yeah I see your point. Also yeah I missed the engine connection, busy working at the front. I'll switch some things around when I have the time.
Thanks for the constructive feedback again
