I've always had a vision in mind for what modifications could be made to the Hotrod series to make it a bit more spaceship-like while retaining that hotrod look and feel. For the past month I've been working on this model on the side and it's finally come to fruition: The attached image is a rendering of the new model for the Hotrod +. The standard Hotrod will have the same model, only with a grey/blue color scheme. I'm really pleased with the outcome and hope that you'll enjoy flying it in-game.

Oh...My.......Goodness....



I seriously love this. Who's Awesome? You're Awesome!

EDIT: Facepalm

Oh god.
I have not cried for many many a day, week, month even.
But this makes me pink away a tear.
This. Is. BEAUTIFUL.

It looks good here, but how good will it look in game? I know some times things look better on paper than in the game.

This is actually a version of the model I'm using for a "glamor shot" like I made when I rendered the Spearheads in Maya. I've got a slightly lower-poly, lower-res-texture version that's C2-friendly.

Omg...someone else knows about Last Exile!

Anime ftw, eh?

Yellow, this is copyrighted material of Gonzo Studios. And it's not even a render; it's an image taken directly off Google.

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHA, ha, hehehehe, hoo, *snif* ahem. ... Yea. >.>

And yay! Someone else also knows of Last Exile!

I was going to mention this hours ago, but I figured I'd let you spoil it as I knew you would. Good going, Church.

Congratulations, your evil plot to get me to watch anime when i could be doing something useful has succeeded.
(not that i would be doing something useful anyway, episode 1, GO!)

Damn you.... damn you to HELL!

Planet of the Apes reference, anyone?
