The Tiger is the first in a new series of fighters that I will be releasing in the coming weeks. Also see the Panther, Jaguar and Lion.
So you just bought that giant Prometheus spaceship and now you need some quality fighters to fill the bays. Well look no further, the Tiger is your ship.
This ship uses the CCC combat script set, so it can fight against any other CCC enabled ship(currently SL's most popular air to air combat system). CCC is also effective against avatars using RCS. The Tiger also features "dumb fire" missiles that work with CCC.
In flight is controlled in mouselook and has an afterburner boost for when the action gets too hot. Other features include an opening canopy, retractable landing gear, and custom particle effects. The tiger also has a touch menu system for starting, stopping and landing gear.
The design is a classic yet innovative one that utilizes custom made textures and sculpted prims for the engines.
As with most of my ships, I've left as many of the scripts open as I could for you budding space ship builders, this includes the flight script, particles, plus more. Also the textures and prims can be edited if you wish.
Be sure to check out all the space ships I have to offer on SLX.
Love this one, flies smoothly if you're a decent sl-pilot, ^,,^
The plusses:
* Great assault capabillities of (lazer?)guns + a straight fire missile that causes a big boom.
Yay ! ^;;^
* Good canopy view in front & to the sides (will adress looking back later on)
* Ok first view/mouselook flight, even in somewhat laggy conditions.
the Ok's:
* Still ok looks, aged respectfully, though i would love a less/non 'braggy' Nose-cone texture
to replace the decals on them.
* very dated looking landing gear, i tend to keep mine up when parked, making it look
repulsor-hovering instead.
* Ok-ish view to the backsides, the rear fin, engine covers & wings block a tad,
but one can overcome it.
The Meh's..
* 3rd Person flight is rather limited to up/down or sideways flight,
no full hovermode enabled.
* Its Canopy & Pilot bay is rather thight, if you are somewhat tall, you'll need to enlarge
the fighter itself. Furry's will find their ears/antlers/horns sticking through.
* Its tough to recolor using the Edit function, the grey texture doesn't hold a different tint nicely.
& those soo braggy Victory Decals... 0,,o
P.S. I tried adding the much used Paxwerx Jumpdrive script to a copy, that didn't work.
Not sure what i did wrong.
Conclusion:
For the asking price, you get a very decent if somewhat aged looking Interceptor/Fighter.
Get yours soon, before they get delisted as the Honst Frog - Station Hopper Shuttle, did. ^,,^
