[WIP] SSV Normandy SR-2 (Jedi Academy)

Years ago when I was still active within the Elite Force community, I had four projects that I had intented to develop and release for the RPG-X modification.

These were the:

- U.S.S Leonov - "The Animal" (now available for Jedi Academy)
- Battlestar Aurelia (Outline ONE available for Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast, Outline TWO still in development)
- U.S.S Southern Cross (Still in development for Jedi Academy, based on a canceled Elite Force II modification)
. . . and this project for which I now post some very early screenshots of.

For years I thought I had lost this project (and others) due to a harddrive failure years ago and while I frequently make back-up's (and now with cloud services, it is way easier nowadays), this project wasn't among them. This changed last autumn when I decided to clear out some old boxes.

In some of them, there were some very old USB sticks and while most of them didn't work anymore, some did partially and a couple of them contained various projects in some degree of projects that I did in the past. Luck would have it that it also contained the above, though I have to admit that I only managed to recover some 70 to 75 percent of what I had back then.

Now that I have found the project again, I have decided to finish it ** properly ** this time and develop this for Jedi Academy. The process of texturing, lighting and dressing the map has already been undertaken and I will use the assets that came with the game.

Stay tuned for more screenshots in the coming weeks . . .

It is and to my surprise, no-one ever did such a thing. I know that there has been one attempt made for Jedi Academy about 10+ years ago but since then that project went very silent. The only thing I could find, were models for Starfield and Earths Elite (I think) and some WIP clips for Jedi Academy on YouTube but that's it. I certainly hope to change that with my version.

And I always thought that Commander Torki had a nice ring to it . . .

This is pretty cool looking. I would love to see what this looks like when a release is set.
