While searching for a map for that one dude, I stumbled upon an ancient article about VO, which linked to some interesting images. Too bad that doesn't seem to have panned out.

Douchey Luis!

And they look damn good too. (-_-)

Yeah, those bots looked promising.

he also made a new model for a ship that reminds me very much of the hornet crossed with a teradon but it was never textured :/

hornet really could use a new model.

There's a "new" vulture too. I still have all those assets. But they require a lot of work to clean up and make actually usable. Plus, he didn't actually make all of the hive ships, only a few of them, so it would require completing the whole "set" to really use them. Otherwise the styles will look horribly inconsistent within a single hive.

This?

And what are the chances of us ever flying this:

(Both found after combing the forum)

nice

Kinda like how the styles look inconsistent among TPG's ships right now?

I don't really think it would be that big of a problem, especially since the Hive is made of a hodge-podge of rogue robots and AI scavenged from various different tech. It would make sense to see assimilated versions of existing robots as well as new "evolved" types.

Might be worth finishing just to get some new cool looking stuff into the game :)

All strike force vultures and conq station guards should be flying this thing: http://kitchen.nfshost.com/ven/shippies/render_WGAF_12.jpg

The "new" observer looks like the alien probes from Black Prophecy. >.>
