Yeah, I'd create it the way I wanted it if I were making an optional mod. Currently, the upgraded truck is intended to be added to the core game, therefore it must meet certain requirements, in this case, set by Zarel. I must hear what the developers of this project want me to do, so that my work satisfies them (much like when you're not making something for your mod, but for everyone else's).
About the "horns", I've made adjustments to the texture so that it looks like the current ones, from the borg engineer (which I'm not planning to remodel). I'll make an updated version of the simple truck when I've got a good approval rate for the textures.
Per wrote:What I like about the current truck is that it is easily recognized as a truck. I do not see this as easily with the suggested model. There are too many things about it that catch the eye that don't say "truck" to me.
Maybe it says "upgraded truck"? xD
Hmm, maybe the grid at the truck's bed looks too different from the actual truck. But if my simple truck version is accepted along with the upgraded one, they'll look very similar. And I think that the main feature to be common to all the construction units should be the horns, since the borg engineer doesn't even have any material storage recipient... Not really sure
Let's wait and see what it looks like in the game, using the last textures I've posted. :rolleyes:
