A picture named missile3.jpgI have put a preliminary skin on it so the programmers can get it into the 3d engine and have a play.

I went for engines in separate pods rather than the conventional engine in the body since the fins aren't going to be able to steer it in space. The idea is the pods can independently control roll and pitch to steer the missile around.

The fins stayed on even though not used in space for a couple of reasons. If the missile is fired in an environment where there is atmosphere, these could be used making the missile multipurpose I suppose and the make it look mean!

for the skin I would like to make it more detailed. Have a few details on it like health warnings :) and other usual placards that might be found on such a device. Also the general colour scheme and a bit of dirtying up, I guess these would stay on a craft for a while before being fired and hence should collect dust etc. in that time.

A picture named CargoMiss.jpg The second picture shows how a cargo vessel may have a few of these missiles tucked away for self defense purposes. I wouldn't expect a cargo vessel to be armed with much more than the smallest compliment of defenses, but my fighter ship isnt ready yet.
