Put all power to the front shields! (lots of pics)

Since nobody has really has a chance to see it yet I thought it would be fun to post some pics of an "attack" run on a Star Destroyer. Obviously there's no real attack going on here, but I had to do it this way because I couldn't get anywhere near a fully armed and aggresive Star Destroyer in Instant Action without having my ass handed to me on a platter by a few of the SD's 24 guns and it's launched Tie Fighter escorts. (fyi - "real" Star Destroyers have something like 200 guns.)

Making the approach from over 2 kilometers away.


Skimming the surface, headed for the main dorsal structures.


Getting close to the upper shield generator (on the surface of the next ridge). Maybe I can take it out from here.


Should I make my escape, or pull up and attack the bridge?


I pull up! After getting off a few shots at the bridge crew, I fly through the canyon between the port sensor globe (on right) and the upper bridge tower structure.


Sort of an aft view of that last pic.


Coming around for a rear attack.


Skimming down the length of the hull on the port side.


A low approach this time.


Up and over, this time through the middle of the upper bridge structure.


Whew! That was exciting. Time to head over to the pilot's lounge for a round of drinks. [8D]

It looks cool, but you really fudged it quite a bit, with the no-standard focal length of the cockpit view you have in your player ship. ;)

When are you going to send to me to put in the mod?

btw. I haven't recieved the textured B-Wing yet either.

Yeah, I was hoping you wouldn't notice that. :D

I wanted to tweak the B-Wing textures a tad before I sent all those files. The color contrast is off. I'll get those off to you tonight. But I thought I sent you the Star Destroyer months ago. However, I just recently went back into the setup scene and added/adjusted the weapon and other nulls for more accurate and/or logical placement. I also fixed up the avatar scene with engine noises and thruster flares (big thruster flares). So I can just send you the whole thing again if you want.
