Literally, as the Dhilani paint their ships with the blood of their enemies :D

Time to get back to releasing TBP Stuff.

The exotic looking Octopus is the Dhilani Understanding of a Gunboat. It could be best described as a flying energy gattling gun than anything else. The rear half of the main body is basically one big engine propelling the Octopus to enormous speeds to allow fast and furious attack runs towards large targets. In fact this is necessary, because due to its poor maneuverability the fighter is not suitable for dogfighting.

Like always, get it from VXHQ - if you dare :D

Oh, right, pictures: (Sorry for the star overlay, that wasn't intended)

It isn't. The screens are right out of the game. What you see is all textures.

To quote myself, right before I posted the pics:

There were rather few stars in the pic so I used a starfield filling, didn't notice though that the tolerance was set too high so the stars were painted over the ship as well.

And when I noticed that I just couldn't bother correcting the images, since I already had uploaded everything and (for this more week) a number of stairs lie between my working computer and the one connected to the internet.

wouldn't the blood be brown?
Moo.

Maybe not, since you need air to dry blood out, which makes it that yellowish brown color. Since it's in space maybe it's just beleived that it would stay red.

What if it's an alien race that has a much lighter color for blood, like pink, so that it dries red instead of brown?

Awesome ship, btw. Looks really sweet.
Very funny Scotty. Now beam down my clothes.

Never heard of that.

And please don't try to destroy the illution by bringing up something like physics or logic!
