Can you define what a successful ship is to you?asked by Belzoth
TL;DRPatrick calls a ship successful if it goes efficiently through the whole pipeline and performs well in the engine, while Elwin says it's one that makes people want to fly it immediately.
To me in particular, well, to me a successful ship is one that has made it through the entire pipeline in an efficient manner. What that means, in particular, is going through all of the different phases of development , from concept to actual modeling, texturing, lighting, the whole destruction system, and just making it into the engine, and performing optimally. To me, that's a successful ship. That means that it went through, you know, who knows how many hands and then ended up, you know, boom, in-game going, ready to go. You don't have to go back and fix things that you've broken. That's a successful ship to me.
Right, I mean I can agree with that, to some degree. I know you are really focused on the development part of it, but I think to me, a successful ship really is a ship that when I first show it to someone, they're like holy -, I wanna fly that thing right now. That's basically a successful ship. And I hope we can develop a lot of those.
Definitely.
