WOW! That's awesome! Those textures are really nice.<P>------------------<BR>Visit my webpage, <A HREF="http://www.freewebz.com/freelancermse" TARGET=_blank>Freelancers Spaceport</A>.
When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands with the buttered side facing down. I propose to strap buttered toast to the back of a cat; the two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.

Very nice! Not my favourite ship, as its not much use in XWA, but certainly looks much better.

And just how long have you been hiding this ugly little secret? Well ,not ugly, the new one is very good. I guess the TG one is the ugly one

Wow, a big improvement over the original. The textures make it look more Imperial than the old one, which looks cartoony.
This is just my two cents.

Looks really good. Great textures and model. We can also rip a lot of things out of this opt and make a shuttle in half the time. Image<P>------------------<BR>The darkness is coming...

Yay! The ILC is finally nearing completion! I can't wait for the final product; it looks beautiful!

It's in only one mission? I can think of at least three where they are very close to you, the rescue slaves one, the last prologue mission, and in the Steal Shuttle Tyderium one. Also it makes cameos in a lot of family missions. Well, the more, the better, then you can look at it more. *looks at ILC in awe and dosen't pay attention to anything else until ramming into VSD*<P>------------------<BR>If you don't care where you are, you ain't lost!<BR>(Anything in parentheses can be ignored)<BR>Where patience fails, force prevails<BR>All hail Finagle and his prophet Murphy!

yeah yeah the FAQ....<P>After the XWAUP they should make a cockpit for every craft... that would be cool!
