Quick Strike Cruiser Zooms Into Secret Ops Upgrade

  • DefianceIndustries

    has taken a break from player pilotable craft for a moment to work on the most iconic ship of

    Secret Ops

    , the TCS Cerberus. He's got the shape down pat, and now he's adding subcomponent details throughout the model. Compared to the Midway and other contemporary capships, the

    Hades class

    had a cool blue hull with neat red accents, so we're anxious to see how this one comes out with texturing on!

    Work continues in Bartok Designs shipyards... I've added the engines, tachyon and missile emplacements and finished out the recovery deck. All it needs now are some laser turrets and a coat of paint. So that whole 10K limit...yeah, thus far the finished product clocks in at 38K faces. I may have to do some decimation to try and bring that down, but I'm a bit loathe to do it, since it's the most visible cap ship in the game. I'll try it as is and if it causes stability issues I'll revisit it at that point. Granted, @gr1mre4per threw 80K polys' worth of Galactica in the game and it ran fine so we'll see.
