modeling for pioneer

[TonySpike]

i havent tested the alpha 15 release yet (work in progress) ..but i was wondering if anyone managed to fix the collision detection on the panther clipper and viper defence craft .....it seems they dont touch down on landing pads properly ........im assuming its a problem for the modelers to deal with .......if not i will repost this somewhere else lol ..sorry if it isnt

It's a known issue.

thanks for that ..the ships in this game are absolutly brilliant ......but i have to say of the panther (no offence on whoever made it its beautiful) .....i liked the old landing gear better ....the new ships new landing gear and flat sides dont give it the right shape to me ........it just looks like an box on legs ....but thats just in my opiniondont get me wrong it looks awesome and is a better shape than the one in FFED3D ...(their is no annoying top bit for the top turret to accidently hit) ....and i love the attention to detail .....i guess i just liked the old landing style better (swivel nozzles on the side)aaah thats it from me ...i dont want to sound like a whiney bitch ....might have to get into making some myself

You're not alone. The Panther in Frontier was special, and the Panther in Pioneer really shouldn't have that name.

Now accepting name suggestions.

Jaguar.Panthers are black leopards, jaguars or cougars. Of those, the biggest is the Jaguar. I also think it's cool.

Although, as pointed out, it's much cooler than the ship itself.

New suggestion: Caribou. It's big, has four legs, is a thing of unparalleled beauty, and is often used as a shooting target.

It's more accurate to say that a black leopard is a panther. Other panthers are available. Terms and conditions apply.Cats are cool, though, and Pioneer's Panther... isn't so cool. Picture those legs. Picture a feline leap. Picture those legs again.
