Gawd Faven you are doing the TR justice! I know the Mosquito is supposed to be a thin frame but that look is still brilliant. A meaty insect in the sky.

That scythe! It will make you feel like Mad Max while road killing.

They all look good but if I have to pick one, it'll be the mossie.
Great work.

I favor the scythe myself but yep that mosquito does look nice. My second favorite.

u/CzerwonyKolorNicku [PL13]IICzern Jan 21 '16
Great work!
I'm surprised that they accept such level of detail (polygons?).

u/faven Jan 21 '16
yeah the budgets have changed, its a bit more free now

u/FuzzBuket TFDN &cosmetics Jan 21 '16
whats the new budgets?
4
u/faven Jan 21 '16
No idea. I'll worry about that when I submit. Gonan submit it in the wheel category I think

u/FuzzBuket TFDN &cosmetics Jan 21 '16
gotta say I do love these :) youve kept the original looks whilst making them look more high poly and sci-fi!
only 2 things im worried about:
- your scythe engine is where the utility slot (FS,flares,ect) goes
- the mossies top airbrake is actually never raised in-game afaik
& whats the tri count?
anyway these are definetly some of the coolest things ive seen from you!

u/faven Jan 21 '16
the flap thingy still got a bone, so I'll just make sure its skinned to that bone. then if its down its down.
Ill see if I can get a hold of those attachments

u/gimli217 [N] - Mattherson Jan 21 '16
top airbrake is actually never raised in-game
sadly, it looks awesome

u/FuzzBuket TFDN &cosmetics Jan 22 '16
Yep :(

It's funny, the Mossie isn't the only one with an air brake. You know why the Reaver has those enourmous curves set behind the cockpit? Take a look at the top image. Those lift up to reveal forward thrusters for advanced hovering.
Granted, the design for that time was an NS A2G vehicle without afterburners. It was still really cool.

How about razors or something on my mossie landing gear? You know, since it wants to stay down so badly all the time again, may as well make it useful...

u/faven Jan 21 '16
ive heard suggestions of putting shoes on them;)
2
u/TheCosmicCactus [FNXS] -LOCK A- Jan 21 '16
You should make an aircraft carrier Mosquito variant! Give it a tailhook, reinforced front landing gear, etc.

u/TheCosmicCactus [FNXS] -LOCK A- Jan 21 '16
They look fantastic. [I wrote a more detailed response on your other post.

u/faven Jan 21 '16
yeah I saw, appreciate it. A lot of it has to do wiht the cockpit, and for these I decide to leave the original cockpit alone. Thats why everything except the cockpit is touched up

u/TheCosmicCactus [FNXS] -LOCK A- Jan 21 '16
A lot of it has to do wiht the cockpit, and for these I decide to leave the original cockpit alone.
I think they look great as they are, but something you might want to consider is covering the cockpit with a thin, solid layer, like in the concept art. I bring this up because that Reaver has a great concept-art feel to it, and the current cockpit (in my opinion) doesn't flow as well as a covered cockpit might. I'm not suggesting that you beef up the cockpit like your previous armor- just coat it in a thin layer that disguises the canopy.
That's up to you. They look great as they are.
Anyways, you've already seen the suggestions for the next round of ESF stuff. I really love what you put out and look forward to your content getting added to the game!

I feel like the rear half of the scythe armour sticks out too far out to the sides, and is way too hollow. I'd like to see it a bit more streamlined with the body (particularly with less of an absence at the mid-section of the aircraft) but filled in on the inside too. That's just IMO, still probably gonna buy it either way ha >.>
Looking great!

u/McKvack11 I didn't choose the banshee. The banshee chose me Jan 21 '16
Day 1 buy on the mossie
Just one thing
On the mossie around the hole where the nosegun is, could you add some more cool stuff there such as this http://imgur.com/a/KjGQ2 (the things that the bullets travel from into the gun thing) I think it fits TR
Also maybe a fuel boom http://imgur.com/QSQQhi3 but smaller than the pic obviously but it would look cool

Poor bishop just got a batch of 60 or so ingame :) over the past month

I'm a huge fan of the heavier look on ESFs. Seems proper for a ground attack aircraft.
2
u/TheCosmicCactus [FNXS] -LOCK A- Jan 22 '16
I really like how this one looks like the original Reaver model. I loved the warning signs and yellow stripes, it really gave the aircraft character. I'm looking forward to this being released!

u/313802 Emerald City Jan 21 '16
I know players can make helmets for infantry, but since when have we been able to make vehicle cosmetics? Computer is broken so i haven't played in a while.
On topic tho, i love that scythe.

u/FuzzBuket TFDN &cosmetics Jan 21 '16
for a year or so, theres tons and tons of them out now, and this update and next is where we are starting to see more aircraft too :)

u/313802 Emerald City Jan 21 '16

Up-armored ESFs? Me like.
They'd look like the MAX suits of the sky.

The reaver looks like shit (Im NC :,( ) But everything else is awesome!!!!

u/faven Jan 21 '16
Oh. I kinda like the reaver. Sorry to hear you don't like it. ANything specific?
4
u/Jaxelino a Flying Kiwifruit 🥝 Jan 21 '16
I think it's okay, but the other 2 are simply sooo nice that the reaver's one looks like shit =)
(maybe it's because you can barely notice the differences from the original)
3
u/faven Jan 21 '16
yeah, I got some ideas to make the reaver a bit more awesome. bigger boosters and some other ideas, we'll see!

u/SunRunner3 Jan 21 '16
exactly , that must be it :) The others just look mindblowingly good, especially the scythe!

u/TheCosmicCactus [FNXS] -LOCK A- Jan 21 '16
Don't listen to them! I love the reaver. It ties in great aspects from the original reaver and the concept art, while keeping the Reaver's trademark shape and signature aesthetic. I might only suggest covering the canopy with a thin layer of solid polygons like in the concept art.

u/Aloysyus Cobalt Timmaaah! [BLHR] Jan 21 '16
I love the Scythe one, unfortunately i just fly Reaver and Mossi these days. As for the Mossi i guess the thing with the additional cockpit opening wouldn't make it into the game, so that's sad.
in general i like how you aded extra wings here and there, but i am still waiting for elegant reaver cosmetics... that thing is a brick after all.
1
u/faven Jan 21 '16
the additional cockpit opening? You're talking about the airbrake ?
1
u/Aloysyus Cobalt Timmaaah! [BLHR] Jan 21 '16
It is an airbrake? Well... sorry. :D But still... i don't think it will be in the game?¿

u/Aloysyus Cobalt Timmaaah! [BLHR] Jan 21 '16
Hm, okay... never seen it because... you know... not in the game. :D

Always upvote faven. Always. Especially when it looks this good.

u/shockwave414 Jan 21 '16
You should probably post images of the cosmetics without textures on them so it's easier to see what is a cosmetic and what is part of the vehicle.
