Hmmm... Did the Tempest always use to have that nuke strapped to its "chin"?

Under the "cockpit". If you look at it from the right side of the ship (or left side if you look from it backwards) it isn't even attached to the ship.

I swear I didn't see it before...

Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.

I have a better question, why does the support strut holding said nuke on the Tempest exist when looked at from one side, but not when looked at from the other?

Also the existing question since Minmatar V3 came out, why doesn't the Tempest's cockpit/neck connect with the rest of it? It's completely separated right before the wingy bit.

I decided to Bug Report just that, and I took a few screenshots in the process.

EDIT: Beware: Once you see it, you can't unsee it. Now it is bugging the crap outta me to the point where I can barely fly my Tempest!

EDIT*2: I found ANOTHER glitch. Damn, this ship needs either a fix or a totally new model, stat! Again, beware that once you see it you can't unsee it by any means!

Just texturing, not a new model.

Is this just texturing? Usually when you have chunks of a model missing or misaligned, well, that's a model issue, not a texture one.

Of course this can vary to some degree from engine to engine, but usually not this much.

The invisible part? Yeah probably. It could also be a polygon facing the wrong way - though I'm not the best graphics programmer the world has ever known. :)

God damn Minmatar; how do they work?

Logically that thing would float off into space!

Minmatar engineers now fit cloaking devices to their duct tape to avoid being made fun of by the other races?

Magnets how do they work!?

clearly that is how it stays there and doesn't float off. or did that bit just rust out?

confirming them issues are there on the vargur as well... pfft who flies tempests anyways!?
