Nomads content pack
===================

Originally these resources were intended to be used for Discovery mod but for various reasons it is currently unclear whether they'll be and in what capacity, so I have decided to release them into public.
Content pack includes nine new ships:
Light Fighter
Heavy Fighter/Bomber
Very Heavy Fighter
Gunship
Gunboat
Cruiser
Battleship
Artillery
Boss
Artillery and light fighter additionally have alternative versions.
All models were created from scratch to match both original designs in shapes and scale. I took some inspiration from extended intro when designign these and giving them a little more aggressive looks. Overall they were intended to visualize further evolution and provide better quality looking ships as I felt original nomad ships weren't good enough even compared to other ships in the game, both technically (poor texturing mostly) and aesthetically. Polycount is just slightly above that of vanilla models of comparable class and size, meshes are thoroughly optimized in multiple passes, however distance LODs are not provided, nor VMesh wireframes.
Additionally the pack contains a set of capital ship turrets of various designs and sizes designed for particular class.
Most are in Freelancer 3DB format as they have no separate parts, except Boss ship is CMP format as it has wing closing animation sequence. All ships have hardpoints, feature custom hitboxes, single shared material/texture library file and overall structure following vanilla contents. In addition all ships have custom engine effects which are also provided in this pack.
The pack doesn't contain INI files or snippets for actual ships and equipment, only resources, so you'll need to make your own entries for your mod.
Enjoy!
