You realise the same people that are criticizing it are the people that make ships themselves..They know what would look best on the model better then most people would, so I think they're entitled to their opinions.

I agree that the aliasing is pretty bad on the glow. The IDEA is cool though.

You don't have to add in the glow if you don't want to, but you DO need to add in the texture, this one looks so much better than the current Zeus Throne which is bland and disgusting.

I made this texture and showed it to ZT users, all of them said they liked it, which is what I wanted to hear, I don't care about admin criticism, because deep down this texture is a lot better than theirs.

The glow TEXTURE looks awful, ingame it looks amazing. I did the lightning bolt glow 1 texture because how often do you see multi coloured / gradient lightning bolts, they are often the same colour.

Better than a stick of white. The current ZT is constantly bathe in sun light, and doesn't stand out as much as it did in C1. I understand theres a blue sun nearby when that picture was taken, but it looks so much better with more defined shadows. The yellow glowing thunderbolts also give very nice contrast to the darker portions of the texture.

Unlike the current Zeus Throne, which is a light background and a light highlight. Light and light is terrible (so is Dark and dark).

I would prefer the modded one to the current version, but I do think it's a bit too ostentatious.

It looks good, it's like it came out of some old school 3D game. I like the look, but it doesn't fit within SS (or at least, Olympus).

I don't get it, the players like it, but the dev/admins don't.

There are many people with bad taste...

I know it doesn't really fit, and it would probably require a complete retexture of all the Olympus ships to make it fit in, but here's a taste of what I had in mind anyways.
Image
I also rebuilt the actual geometry and remapped the UV's, so it wouldn't work in game unless I upload all that jazz.
*EDIT: This uses a custom texture(obviously), specular map for the reflections, and a small bump map for the bit of bumping going on the main chassis part. Mostly just all photoshop work.

Why can't they be combined. Or at least have the option to somehow choose. Both are great and unique. Giving people more options is better.
