do i loook like a friggin farmer to you?... ...the only tractors i deal with have a friggin 16 foot blade on the front, or a damn bucket scoop on its back....any questions??.... yes, i see what you mean jon, but i dont quite concur....... just because i live in nebraska doesnt mean i know s**t about agriculture.....but i like corn...

Doc B....

well, bottom line, it doesnt really matter what i think, i try my damndest to give the "customer" what he wants....visa vi, Yakmaninov has the final say....if he wants tractor wheels, he gets tractor wheels....if he wants "ammo cans", he gets...cans.... and the ammo can thing is what i REALLY dont concur on.......quite frankly, it looks a hella lot like an apc, so thats what he gets....although its a futuristic vato-typo rig.... if it looked like something that could use tracks, well, id do it in a heartbeat....i think thats a damn cool idea, tbh....

Doc Brass...

I have to say, I prefer the gray (hey that rhymes).

The only question I have is, why would a vehicle like this have wheels instead of a tread?

A few things:

About the choice of wheels and turret...
A: If I wanted to recreate the Bradley APC from HL, I would have used the Bradley APC prefab I've already made.
B: Have we never seen the movie Aliens? Wheels are the future.
C: The newest American attack vehicle that acts as a combination of tank and APC and allows for rapid forward deployment and support of infantry is called the Stryker. It has wheels and a variant of it has a turret with a big gun on it.
D: The level is set indoors. Treads are for offroading, not driving on pavement.

About the chosen color:
What I have done so far on the map has a lot of black and gray metal sections. Some variety would be nice. Plus, the APC in Aliens was black/gray metal, and I don't want to completely copy the damn thing.

About the boxiness, lack of details:
A good prefab looks more detailed than it actually is, hence the need for good textures. I need to use this prefab in medium traffic areas and still be able to put detail in the walls so it needs to have a low facecount. Also, this is NS, where lots of tiny details and curves and such will f**k with Skulk movement. I don't want its only use to be sitting in a dark hallway and have it act as a dead-end. Also, I don't want to waste any of the limited amount of entities on this prefab, which would be necessary if I added smaller details (ie: making some of it func_illusionary so people don't get caught on it)

I bet you never thought so much decision-making and foresight goes into making a prefab...

Well...it would be really cool if they did.

Right?
